The Queen released a more personal statement than normal on Monday as she revealed the outcome of the Sandringham crisis meeting involving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's future in the royal family
Last modified on Jan 13, 2020 20:47 GMT Hanna Fillingham Following the royal family's summit in Sandringham on Monday afternoon, which saw them discuss the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's future, Buckingham Palace released a statement from the Queen to inform the public of the outcome. Unlike the monarch's usual statements, this one was far more personal.
The full statement read:"Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family. My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.
"Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives. 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. 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.
