The reporter Omid Scobie who often seems to have insider info on the Sussexes has an interesting thread
Twitter
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have shared their last ever #SussexRoyal post on Instagram and ended the use of their http://SussexRoyal.com website. As the couple begin their Household transition on March 31, new details have been shared by a Sussex spokesperson.
Though the Sussexes “would prefer that in the immediate weeks and months the focus remains on the global response to Covid-19,” they understand there are final questions that need to be addressed before they officially step back as senior working royals. On with the details...
—As reported, plans for the Sussex Royal Foundation will not continue. Instead they will focus on building a new non-profit charitable organisation (which former #PivotalVentures director Catherine St-Laurent, the couple’s new chief of staff, will serve as executive director of).
—Harry’s sustainable tourism venture, #Travalyst, is now being established as an independent non-profit org in UK. He’s currently working with partners to better understand how they can “aid in global recovery” when restrictions related to controlling the Covid-19 pandemic ease
—Moving forward, US/world media relations for the couple will be managed “in the interim” by PR firm Sunshine Sachs in New York (who were originally going to handle comms for the foundation). Former Royal Foundation aide James Holt will take care of UK/Commonwealth.
—As confirmed last night, the Sussexes have made their own private security arrangements. “Reporting and speculation on security measures,” says a rep, “adds risk to all this receiving protection. . . and potentially members of the public.” No further comment will be made.
Other details: - Harry and Meghan “remain committed” to their royal patronages. - They retain their HRH titles but will no longer use them. - No other royal comms reps will act on behalf of Sussexes, “including Palace spokespeople, household representatives nor royal sources.”
The new arrangements will be reviewed in 12-months time (agreed by both the Royal Family and the Sussexes). Though Harry and Meghan are clearly focused on their new chapter, don’t expect to hear much from them over the next few months...

) has been sorted. How it is paid is none of our business as it's privately funded.
