They didn't lose the titles Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which means they can adjust their branding. It's not like people around the world who are going to buy their branded merchandise are going to forget who his grandmother, parents, and sibling are.Clearly, they won't be able to monetize their royal status.
I see it in the opposite way. It certainly puts a spoke in the wheels of people saying it's all on her and she's forcing Harry into this. If it was all on her, she'd definitely be in the negotiations making sure she got what she wanted. By leaving it to Harry, it shows that this is his idea and he's the main mover behind it and she's just in the background supporting him.I don’t like the optics of her leaving while he works out the deal and I wonder how happy he will be.
@becca you're already hoping for a divorce?
Some of the stuff written about Meghan and Harry is really approaching Tessa/Scott/Jackie Mascarin levels of fanfic except Meghan is apparently ... Jackie Mascarin?

Perhaps people won't forget but I think that not being able to use their HRH status to support their Sussex brand is going to be a lot tougher without the Royal part of it. Their stans will stick with no matter what, but I don't think the general public will. They lost a lot of good will with that website stunt.They didn't lose the titles Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which means they can adjust their branding.

Statement from HM The Queen & Buckingham Palace
So, it's done. They won't use their HRH and won't be representing the BRF at all. Clearly, they won't be able to monetize their royal status. I'd call this the Duke of Windsor treatment 2020-style. I did not expect to see quite this outcome.
Her Majesty is fierce!I think that is a lovely sentiment from the queen, emphasizing her love and appreciation for Harry, Meghan, and Archie. It won't quiet the more rabid stans on either side of debate but maybe it'll settle things down some.
I'd be surprised if the general public has any idea what was on the website if they even know about it, TBH.Their stans will stick with no matter what, but I don't think the general public will. They lost a lot of good will with that website stunt.
Since they are no longer working royals, I would suspect they will not be provided with security. They can always hire whatever they want.It's hard to know how important to Harry it is to keep a royal title when he was born a prince and will always be a prince by blood. But I would bet he would find it easy to give up in trade for adequate security. He, Meghan, and Archie are high level attractive targets for nutcases and terrorists. I think he'd give up anything asked to keep his family safe. I notice the announcements didn't address security except to point out it was on an independently determined need basis, so I'm guessing it is or will be determined to be a need. As far as the public goes, the people who hated them or simply resented them will continue to do so, and the public that supports them will continue to do so, regardless of official titles or not. They are a power couple, and charities will continue to value their support and activity. To those who think the lack of being able to use "royal" is going to dampen any enthusiasm for their charities and causes are going to be disappointed.

Then why do you keep bringing it up? I imagine the agreement is flexible because the Queen, Charles, and William want to give Harry AND Meghan options. They are family and there's no need to make any of the changes irrevocable.no I am not hoping for a divorce. I said multiple times I am not hoping for one.
Boy, those two are hard learners. And I cannot imagine that they have not spoken to their friends, nor that their friends are acting without the approval of M&HOh dear, H&M need to talk to their “friends.” This kind of article is, IMHO, another unforced error especially when read after the warm, supportive, message from the Queen. They have what they want and I truly hope they will be happy. This airing of dirty laundry is unnecessary.

To be honest with you this happens too many times so I have to wonder how much of a say H&M are having in these articles and their 'friends' commenting like this. The Queen is trying to give them as much as she can yet these 'friends' keep sniping and being downright nasty.
Three of the queen's children ended up getting divorced, as did her sister. The queen likely recognizes that some of the next generation's marriages might not last, but there's no reason to expect Harry and Meghan specifically to get divorced at some point down the line.@becca why even mention divorce if that's not what you want? You realize they have an infant together right?

And the agreement is flexible because they're family and in general family don't shut the doors and throw away the keys on other family members.
Yes. But supposedly they can use it while in the UK. However they are to reimburse the Crown for the cost of the renovations they had done.This article says that Frogmore Cottage is being shuttered, and its staff reassigned elsewhere within the Royal Family's households:
