Although everyone, including Prince Harry's family, was surprised by his departure from the royal family, it seems that the decision was not unexpected. Harry and Meghan had made the decision many months before announcing it publicly.

Dr. Jane Goodall, who is a friend of Prince Harry, told the Daily Mail a conversation she had with the prince in the summer, about 6 months before he, Meghan and Archie left for Canada and then California.
"At the end of my conversation with Harry, Meghan and Archie also came. he was very small and sleepy all the time. I think I was one of the first, outside the royal family, to have the opportunity to pet him. I greeted the queen, telling her that she needed to learn this now. "Harry told me, 'No, he's not going to grow that way,'" Goodall told the Daily Mail.
With this sentence, Harry has implied that he did not want Archie to grow up in the royal family, as he grew up.

Now Harry and Meghan have given up their title and are living a normal life, as they wished, without royal rules and protocols. Since they will no longer hold the Sussex title, even the name of their foundation changed to Archewell.
