Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave up their Royal titles on Saturday. They will no longer use the titles “royal highness” or receive public funds in the U.K.

The Queen said, “Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much loved members of my family. I recognize the challenges they’ve experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years, and support their wish for a more independent life.”

It sounds like Harry and Meghan suggested a hybrid role, where they could’ve pursued personal income, while also representing the Queen. But apparently they were offered two choices by the Palace: In or out. They chose out.

Harry and Meghan also agreed to repay the Queen $3.1 million for renovations on Frogmore Cottage.

Record snowfall in Newfoundland over the weekend. In parts of the province 93cm has been recorded, with 15 foot drifts.

Canadian Forces members were headed to the island Sunday to provide support and help the province dig out.

While all businesses were ordered to shut down and all non-emergency vehicles banned from St. John’s roads, the city is now allowing gas stations and pharmacies to open. Private plow drivers are also allowed to operate. St. John’s International Airport has announced it remains closed for commercial flights until at least tonight.

The unprecedented snowfall in St. John’s buried countless cars overnight, including this one. #NLStorm2020 pic.twitter.com/oYDY3ujbJG
