The musician collaborated with Prince Harry on a charity song for the Invictus Games.

Over the next 10 days, Harry and Meghan will make a number of appearances as senior royals, including on March 9 for Commonwealth Day, when they will be joined by the rest of the Royal Family at Westminster Abbey.

After March 31, they will no longer carry out engagements on behalf of the Queen.

The couple is understood to be living at a home on Vancouver Island, and have said they intend to split time between North America and the U.K.

There have beenquestions around who will be paying for their security butCBCNews has learned the Canadian government will notpay for RCMP protection for the couple after next month.

Even Bon Jovi joked about how he would address Harryearlier this week during an interview with a British radio station, but said he decidedhe would just call him "the artist formerly known as prince."

Harry and Meghanhave said that they intend to become financially independent and launch a charitable entity of their own, but they have been told that they cannotuse the Sussex Royallabel for any of their initiatives.

"It has not been the smoothest of exits," saidCamilla Tominey, an associate editor with The Telegraphnewspaper.

She said the couple has a number of patronages in the U.K., and though some charities may be worried the couple's move overseas will affect how much of a commitment they can continue to make,it is clear the InvictusGames area passion project for Harry.

"It has always been his baby."

Inside Abbey Road, a group of veterans sang backup for the Bon Jovi track,Unbroken,which will be released next month.

Matt Lyons, whowas in the British Army'sRoyal Logistics Corps for 26 years, is part of the Invictus choir, and has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in Afghanistan.

He shrugged off questions about whether Harry's change in status would mean anything to veterans.

"He's always going to be here for us," he said.

"I think that's something special because it is close to his heart."
