Marrying into royalty: Fairy tale, or such a horror show that an independently successful, confident royal couple felt they had no choice but to walk away? | Analysis by LukeMcGee
London The British royal family had an awful 2019. From Prince Philip's car crash, in which two women were injured, to Prince Andrew's friendship with the US financier and alleged trafficker of underage girls, Jeffrey Epstein, coming under increasing scrutiny, the world's most famous family entered this new decade with numerous PR fires still raging.
On Wednesday night, their problems worsened. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the shock announcement that they would be stepping back from their roles as senior royals."After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year," the couple said in a post on Instagram, adding that they hoped to"carve out a progressive new role within this institution.

The Sussexes bucked this trend when their son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, was born in May last year. The couple were accused of being too private with pictures of their new child.
