\"It was the last time that Harry wore his Captain General of the Royal Marines uniform and you could see from the couple, particularly when they had that standing ovation from the audience, how difficult it was to keep it together for those final moments,\" said ABC News royal contributor Omid Scobie. \"The past few days of engagements, it's been a reminder to the world just how much Harry and Meghan brought to the royal family.\"

\"They were really bringing the house of Windsor into the 21st century at lightning speed and that has come to a crashing halt now,\" he added.

In their new roles as non-working members of the royal family, Harry and Meghan will retain but no longer use their HRH titles, will no longer represent the queen and will not receive public funds for royal duties.

The couple plans to start a nonprofit organization, with more details expected to be announced later this year.

Both Harry and Meghan attended a reported speaking engagement in Miami on Feb. 6 for JPMorgan, the U.S.-headquartered global financial services firm, according to a royal source.

The couple also visited San Francisco and stopped by Stanford University earlier this week for a brainstorm session and meetings with professors and academics as they lay the groundwork for their new charitable entity, a source close to the Sussexes confirmed to ABC News.
