Since then, she has been a princess, a duchess, and of course, Her Majesty the Queen. Again, the situation is different for Harry and Meghan -- they're still royals but they won't be able to use their titles in the future. What have they said about the decision? Harry expressed "great sadness" on Sunday evening, in his first public statement since Buckingham Palace announced that he and Meghan would give up their royal titles and would not represent the Queen as working members of the royal family.
Meghan makes first public appearance since stepping back from royal family. The Queen released a statement Saturday revealing that conversations with the pair had been going on for months. Can they get the titles back? Yes -- the HRH style is effectively a gift from the monarch, so the Queen or, in the future, Charles or William could decide to reinstate it. More immediately, the situation recently agreed upon will be reviewed in a year. But assuming all sides stick to the agreement, Harry and Meghan won't get their HRHs back unless they step back into the royal family and begin representing the monarch again.
What does it mean for them? For former royals like Diana and Sarah Ferguson, losing an HRH meant they may not have been invited to royal events, and when they were, their lack of the title affected things like who had precedence and where they sat.
It's far less clear what it will mean for Harry and Meghan. Harry is the Queen's grandson and Meghan has not divorced him, so they will likely still be invited to royal occasions and their place in the royal hierarchy won't be affected.
Harry and Meghan's decision to step back has been on the cards for some time.

Senior members of the Royal Family typically have the letters HRH attached to their titles, however the Countess of Wessex recently revealed her children will not be adopting the initials.
Both royals born or who have married into the family have been bestowed the title, though some like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have relinquished their titles after stepping down from senior royal roles. Sophie revealed that her children were likely not to be senior royals and would probably take on jobs outside the Royal Family.
Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles.
