Many questions remain about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle s post-royal life, but this is what we know: the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped down as senior members of the Royal Family (with the Queens approval ); theyre living in Canada part-time (Vancouver Island , to be exact); theyve dropped their HRH titles ; they will forgo public funds for royal duties; and theyre still working , albeit in a new capacity.

But one burning question we still have is: who will take over the senior royal duties Harry and Meghan have left behind?

While the couple have been stripped of their Commonwealth Youth Ambassador titles and Harry had to give up his three honorary military appointments, the Queen is letting them keep their private patronages and associations .

Prior to Harry and Meghans exit from the Royal Family, there were 15 top-working royals , including the Sussexes, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Prince Andrew (who was stripped of public duties last year after a disastrous TV interview about his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein ), Sophie, Countess of Wessex, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Queen.

Now that the Royal Family is out two working members, it would seem that they have more work cut out for them. So, what can we expect from the remaining royals and their work, and who will be taking over Harry and Meghans duties?
