British royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who announced exit from the royal family almost ten days back will not use the "royal highness" titles as well as would no longer receive public funds for royal duties. 

"The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared their wish to repay Sovereign Grant expenditure for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage, which will remain their UK family home," a statement from the Buckingham Palace said.
 
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are grateful to Her Majesty and the Royal Family for their ongoing support as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. As agreed in this new arrangement, they understand that they are required to step back from Royal duties, including official military appointments. They will no longer receive public funds for Royal duties," read the statement.

This new model will take effect in the Spring of 2020, the statement informed.

In a statement released by the Queen said she was pleased that "together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family" following many months of conversations and more recent discussions. "Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much-loved members of my family. I recognise the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years and support their wish for a more independent life," she said in a statement."

A few days back Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released a statement saying they will be stepping down as the senior members of the Royal family.

In a statement published on their website and social media platforms, Prince Harry and Meghan said they plan to balance their time between the UK and North America and "work to become financially independent".
