Harry and Meghan to take 'family time' off

October 20, 2019 19:44

Harry and Meghan, Britain's Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will take a break from royal duties towards the end of the year, dividing their time between the US and the UK, a royal source has told CNN.

Confirmation of a break comes hours before an ITV documentary filmed during the couple's recent South Africa tour is broadcast in the UK. In footage released before its broadcast, Harry described the idea of relocating to Africa as "amazing" but admitted it was unlikely.

"I don't know where we could live in Africa at the moment," Harry told reporter Tom Bradby in the short snippet of the documentary. "We've just come from Cape Town, that would be an amazing place for us to be able to base ourselves, of course it would.

The pair will take some "family time" off towards the end of the year, from around mid-November once they have completed their current run of engagements and commitments, the source said.

The couple has been under intense scrutiny of late. Meghan is suing British newspaper Mail on Sunday for publishing a selectively edited version version of a private letter Meghan sent to her father. The newspaper's publishers have said Meghan's father only wanted parts of the letter released.

Separately, Harry is also suing the owners of UK tabloid newspapers the Sun and the Daily Mirror for allegedly hacking his phone.
