until he has been following the story very closely for us. so prince making the harry working members of the royal family does that actually mean well it means that they will no longer represent the queen in public you have to remember the the day to day responsibilities of members of the royal family is really representing the queen in some of these public style p.r. events which we see them visiting or see them taking place or taking part in throughout the world basically representing the queen engaging in outreach and public diplomacy style of events now we know that as you said they are no longer going to be refusing their full titles in public and we also know that they're going to be cut off from some of the public funding that they have benefited from in the past as you said they're also going to be pain back several millions have been used to refurbish a home that they currently live. now this announcement may have come as kind of a surprise that people haven't really been following the story very very closely but it actually has been a long time coming up prince harry has always had kind of
