POLL: Do you believe Harry and Meghan never agreed to be 'half in, half out' royals?

Six years after the Sandringham Summit forced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle out of full-time royal life, a friend of the couple tells HELLO! they "never agreed" to the so-called half-in, half-out ban – insisting it "was decided and foisted upon them." 

The comment lands just as the Sussexes carry out three public charity visits in Nottingham, their first joint UK outing since moving back to Britain. It's a pointed claim, because Buckingham Palace's own January 2020 statement said the Duke and Duchess were "grateful" to the late Queen and had agreed to the new arrangement as part of stepping back from royal duties. 

So which version holds up: a couple who were never genuinely given a choice and are now simply living independently, or a palace record that says otherwise and is only being revisited now, during a high-profile return?
