“Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family,” the reigning monarch shared in a statement. “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,” the 93-year-old continued. “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.”
The queen says there are still issues to be resolved but she wants it done within days.

Someone claims the fact that the statement uses the first names instead of Royal titles means they will could lose those titles.
Beginning now, all members of the royal family should stop getting public funds when they reach age 18. When the Queen retires, the monarchy should be eliminated.
Inheritance of political power is a concept that should have been eliminated in the late 1700’s.
Dora Ragland came out today and said MEagain will neve return to the UK.
MEagain knows she is hated by just about everyone in the UK.
If they don’t want to be “royals” then they should be happy to give up their titles.
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and Prince Andrew might be remembered in history as founders of the Republic of Australia and the Republic of Canada.
Princess Yoko.
full-time working Members of the Royal Family ?? Huh??
working? for who?
Greta? their weekend hideaways.. full staffs of drone bees?
The Sun set on this family a long time ago.
Their titles are made up, anyway
Too bad the Queen did not trademark the “ Duchess of Sussex” before she bestowed it
Give these woke idiots a few years without being part of the royal ceremonies and traditions and even Hollywood will find them about as interesting as Eddie Windsor and Wallis
I cannot even imagine who in the royal circles would want them as patrons or what they think they can travel and ‘ represent’
The Queen is probably thinking “Good riddance to the both of them” Harry made his bed the second he got with that snake
Someone needs to tell the Bushes and the Clintons.
Don't mention the Kennedys. Please don't mention the Kennedys.
I agree the money needs to end, but the family can keep their titles, don’t have any problems with the King of Spain, Denmark, etc.
Apparently we Americans have much in common with our British cousins.
I don’t know why this gets so much publicity. Who cares? There people are nothing more than celebrities for celebrity sake. They have no impact on our lives whatsoever.
I could care less.
Harry will not be a married man for long. As I said the day he got married:
Me again Markle is a Hollywood Trash Creature. As such, she is motivated by and guided by publicity. An agent and publicist guides her every action. Get married, have kids, pulled over for a DWI, drugs, etc. are all viewed through the lens of how it “gets her name out there.”
Marrying Harry is no exception. She will take whatever actions whilst married to Harry that maximize her publicity.
When tired of that, she will proclaim she needs her freedom, return to acting and that will be followed by an affair with a co-star. Divorce and a victim of royal family boom will follow suit.
So far, how am I doing on that prediction?
