Queen Elizabeth issued a new statement Monday on the future of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, after a high-stakes family summit at Sandringham, her country estate in Norfolk, England.
"It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK," the statement added."These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days."
Harry and Meghan's surprise announcement last Wednesday, first shared on Instagram, kicked off a chain of events that resulted in Monday's family meeting at Sandringham. The senior royal family members are also likely weighing how Harry and Meghan's time abroad -- which Queen Elizabeth confirmed will be in Canada -- will impact the Commonwealth country both financially and logistically.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex established their own household, moved from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage, launched new charitable initiatives and separated from the Royal Foundation, the charitable organization Harry founded with William and Kate. Prince Harry spoke honestly in the documentary about the grief he still feels over the death of his mother, Princess Diana, in a 1996 car crash in Paris, describing it as a"wound that festers" and one that motivates his actions today.
