It took days to recover from Meghan and Harry's seemingly unexpected decision, but all eyes were on Queen Elizabeth. The latter, recently, made a historic statement saying he accepts the couple's decision to relinquish royal status.
This conclusion was reached after the family meeting in Sandringham where the queens, Prince Charles, William, Harry and Meghan, are said to be present, via a direct video call from Canada. We know you're very curious, so read below what he said:
"Today, my family and I held very constructive discussions regarding the future of my nephew and his family. My family and I fully support Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new family life. Although we would like them to stay full-time as members of the royal family, we respect and understand the desire to live an independent life.
Harry and Meghan have made it clear that the new life they will create will not rely on public funds. Earlier, we agreed that there would be a transition period in which the Sussex family would live between Canada and Britain. There are still complex issues to be resolved and work to be done, but a final decision is expected in the coming days. "
Despite the full support the queen showed for her nephew and daughter-in-law, her passive-aggressive statements aroused suspicion. Did you notice that now for the queen they are just "Meghan" and "Harry"? The titles Duke and Duchess were nowhere to be seen.
However, the couple officially obtained the independence passport. Congratulations!
