^^ Tee hee. This British royal family drama/ soap opera is far from being a 'romance novel.' Since you frequent tumblr and read that genre of fan-fic, maybe you would make the better romance novelist.
... If they are enjoying it as much as they seem to be, why leave? I'd get it if they did not like public life, but they seem estactic to be doing these appearances - Harry dressed up in the full bling of the royal garb and everything...

FYI, the Sussexes will continue to do work in Britain for their patronages and charities, but more on the down low, since they won't be 'senior royals' any longer. The Sussexes still have roles as President and VP of The Queen's Commonwealth Trust, because that organization was formed in 2016, with Harry's input. Harry will no longer serve as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador though, which is a shame. I've heard that William didn't like Harry having that title and that role. Again, whether that's the case or not, Harry has been stripped of certain duties and royal assignments, and it is what it is.
Hopefully, M&H will continue to travel to Commonwealth countries as private citizens in some goodwill and charitable capacities, but we don't know how that might evolve. They certainly will not be going on anymore high profile royal tours, which will be sorely missed since they were so brilliant and memorable on the few tours they have done. But never fear, Britain and the Commonwealth still have the Cambridges and Charles & Camilla (and maybe the Wessexes) to do their thing on royal tours. Enjoy those senior royals!
BTW, it's spelled
ecstatic, not estactic. We don't know exactly how M&H feel about being in the spotlight, but they are obviously good-looking, in love, and they've always conducted themselves with positive energy and down-to-earth charm every time they appear in public. What we've been seeing over the last several days is nothing new. These recent appearances perhaps resonate more because they are happier and invigorated by having their freedom. And also, we won't be seeing a lot of them like this in public at royal events again.
I think M&H enjoy attending events that have meaning and resonance. Remember that Meghan's former work was about being in front of cameras a lot. So none of this phases her. As a Leo she's definitely comfortable in the spotlight, but she also brings something of substance to the spotlight. So it's not just about enjoying being the center of attention, it's more about highlighting good causes, working hard behind-the-scenes, and also enjoying the good things in life that they have been blessed to have together. What they don't like is being unfairly and continuously maligned in the British media, and receiving death threats, and Meghan experiencing racism, and their son being depicted as a chimpanzee by a British radio host.
"Subtle to track and difficult to understand" unless you're looking for evidence that can be spun to fit a particular theory.
And to accuse other posters of being stupid enough to have drunk the "tabloid press Kool-Aid" is just
Look, everyone can believe what they wish. If you read a lot of the tabloids and even the mainstream press in the U.K. and in the U.S., you are going to be bombarded with the Sussexes depicted as villains. I haven't accused the Cambridges of being villains. But there really isn't that far to look to realize that there's insecurity on the part of the Cambridges. And Harry & William have always been sibling rivals. I've linked video interviews, documentaries, articles, etc.
Plus, its quite obvious how Meghan has been maligned by the U.K. media. The palace leaks against the Sussexes began shortly after their very successful South Pacific tour. The whole Easter Sunday Times article brouhaha clearly implicated William. There was a lot going on with that, but no one wished to know about it here. So, believe what you choose about the entire British royal family -- whatever you can stomach, whatever makes you happy.
No one is perfect, and nothing regarding the royal family is as straightforward and fairy tale like as popularly portrayed or as we would prefer to see it. They are all human beings with human failings.
If it makes you feel any better, Harry at least has said,
"As brothers, there's ups-and-downs... I'll always love and support William. We'll always be brothers. We're just on different paths at the moment." Meanwhile, there has continued to be palace leaks against the Sussexes passed on to the media.
