They were expecting! On October 15th, 2018, the couple announced their pregnancy.

And, on May 6th, 2019...

Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was welcomed into the world.

They make for the cutest little family.

But things haven't been as rosy and smooth-sailing as they have been appearing.

Meghan hasn't had the easiest time.

Joining the British royal family was never going to be an easy transition, given that a person has to give up their entire life in order to be a part of the monarchy. But Meghan's experience has been especially difficult.

Many dedicated royalists weren't happy to see an American woman of colour in the monarchy...

And many attacked the Duchess, slamming her as "fake," with some going as far as accusing her of breaking up the royal family entirely.

But, this year, the couple have seemingly had enough of the harassment and the criticism...

Because they have announced that they will be officially stepping down as senior members of the royal family.

The couple plan on providing a more "normal" upbringing for Archie...

And have announced that they will be splitting their time between the U.K and North America. “This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity," they wrote.

This is huge news.

And has bound to have ruffled a couple of feathers in Buckingham Palace.

But what exactly have the other royals had to say about their controversial decision?

The Queen released a statement, which read, “My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family."

But behind closed doors...

Matters have reportedly been far from smooth sailing.

In fact, reports surfaced that senior royals were left “hurt" by the shock announcement that was made "without warning."

And of course, the news has sparked a whole new wave of criticism to head Meghan's way.

And amid all this news surfacing, Prince Harry embarked on his final venture as a senior royal.

However, people think that he used this opportunity to take one final swipe at the royal family. Yikes.

It was all because of a three-part video...

Yesterday, a video story was posted to the official Instagram showing the Duke at Buckingham Palace where he was hosting the Rugby League World Cup 2021 draws for the men and women's and wheelchair tournaments. Keep scrolling to see the full video.

Everything seems to be going well as the Prince fulfills his duties.
