"While the details are still being finalised and efforts are being made to redeploy people within the royal household, unfortunately there will be some redundancies." The source explained that while the Sussexes' decision to step back as senior royals had been a shock to the team, they are "very loyal" to Meghan and Harry - and they "understand and respect the decision." "The Duke and Duchess have a small team, less than 15 people. The team are very loyal to the Sussexes and understand and respect the decision they have taken. They are all close and supporting each other. The team are busy helping to set their Royal Highnesses up for the future and working on a series of final engagements," they added.View this post on InstagramA post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on
