If Madeleine wants to leave Sweden for good and opt out of royal duties, she should give up her HRH title and her succession rights. The problem is I don't think that's what she wants. My impression is that she is moving to London just to comply with Chris' will, even though she'd rather stay in Sweden, and will try to show up in the home country for occasional royal duties sporadically. For her, that is actually the worst PR outcome possible since it reinforces a public perception that she lives outside Sweden, disconnected from Swedish life, but shows up as a princess of Sweden when it is convenient for her to do so, for example in grand events and on major dates. That hurts her already low popularity.
Why would she need to give up her Titles and succession rights if she would do no royal duties. In Norway Märtha Louise is still Princess albeit without HRH but she has keept her succession rights. And she does no royal duites anymore. Or in Luxembourg Pricne Guillaume and Prince Felix are still in line of succession albeit they live abroad and have Jobs.
