This is a direct quote from the article you posted:
The couple will formally retain their HRH titles
Maybe read the article next time?

That only means that the Queen isn’t (yet) formally stripping them of the HRH. She would need to issue letters patent to do so.
My speculation is that she expects Harry to come back to the fold (Meghan too maybe, but I peg the likelihood at near zero)
with tail tucked between his legs. It would look silly to formally strip him of the HRH then give it back. Hence the statement about revisiting the arrangement in a year. I also
think that what that really means is that if H and M make such fools of themselves, then the Queen will formally strip them.
On the other hand, they are not allowed to call themselves royal, they are “required” to step back from all of the royal duties, lose all the royal patronages etc. Most importantly to them - they can’t brand themselves as ‘Sussex Royal’. What matters is what happens in practice.
