Buckingham Palace is understood to be 'disappointed' at Harry and Meghan's decision to quit as senior royals amid claims that the couple did not tell the Queen before they announced their departure on social media.

They made their announcement on their official Instagram account this evening following speculation about a move.

Following their statement, the BBC's Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond said on Twitter: 'BBC Understands that no other member of the Royal Family was consulted before Harry and Meghan issued their personal statement tonight, the Palace is understood to be "disappointed".'

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman followed up by saying that discussions with the couple on their decision were 'at an early stage', adding: 'We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.'

Why is one of the richest families in the world in need of financial support from the taxpayers of Britain?

The sooner the modern day Royal Family is a footnote, the better for the nation.

Tradition is one thing, spoiled rotten and oblivious to the serious threats the nation faces is quite another.

Enough soap opera and drama already, BREXIT and then Exit the Royals. Time to make them what they are in fact, irrelevant and a waste of time and money.

jmho.

As we've discussed, people are missing that Harry and Mee-again poll VERY WELL with young and progressive Brits. While older, traditional Brits loathe this couple, they'll die off over time.

It is possible that in 15 years, King William will find himself as popular as his Dad, Alfred E. Newman, and popular sentiment will be for Harry and his bride.

can’t knock Harry too hard, he did his bit in Afghan.... but he is a low IQ individual and dummies are very easily manipulated and controlled (meghan).

I don’t get it.

From everything I’ve read, Harry was considered a good soldier and good pilot, respected by the men he led in the military and seemed to have a level head on his shoulders.

But since he met her his wife has been leading him around like a little child.

The Queen just paid $4 million to remodel Frogmore Cottage because Me-a-gain demanded it.

Great point. So now this "cottage" (mansion, I'm sure) will just sit empty after British taxpayers funded the remodeling work on it??

A lesson I learned early in life is don’t burn your bridges, you may have to go back.

Duke and Duchess announced they will 'carve out a progressive new role in this institution’

Their specific choice of words is a huge red flag. Like all “progressives” and their social-engineering schemes, they are going to create division and anger. Given it will take place within the monarchy, it will be far worse. Its going to become a freak-show.

I really think this is a case of extreme green envy on the part of Meghan. She is not the biggest celebrity in the Royal household, and her hubby is now only 6th in succession to the throne. On top of that. her son, Archie, did not automatically get a title of Prince which riled her a lot.

I think Meghan has a short fuse and in addition to envy, has a vice of impatience. My understanding is that getting a title of prince could still be forthcoming for little Archie, as his grandfather, Charles, would be able to raise Archie’s status to Prince once Charles ascends the throne and is King of England. Archie being a son of a Royal Prince and grandson of the King in a male line, would be eligible for a higher tile from his grandpa. Too bad Meghan is such a control freak.

I am sad about all of this as Harry was so young when he lost his Mum, and now he has unfortunately been snared by a social climber who is not one bit concerned for his happiness when she is separating him from his family, homeland, inheritance, etc. I feel that days of their marriage are numbered.

Maybe she will banish Harry, Meghan, and Andrew to St Helena to rule it together for the rest of their lives.
