The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not return as working members of the Royal Family, Buckingham Palace has said.
The Queen confirmed that the couple would not "continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service".
Prince Harry and Meghan will return their honorary military appointments and Royal patronages.
They said they would offer to support the organisations they have represented and that "service is universal".
The duke and duchess announced last January they would step back as "senior" royals and work to become financially independent.
They formally stepped down in March, with a plan to review the arrangements after 12 months.
The confirmation of their departure follows conversations between Harry and members of the Royal Family.
"The Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service," a statement from Buckingham Palace said.
"While all are saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much loved members of the family."
