And the Queen has now confirmed that the royals have come up with a ‘constructive and supportive way’ for Harry and Meghan to move forward.

‘Following many months of conversations and more recent discussions, I am pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family,’ the Queen announced in a statement.

‘Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family,’ she continued.

‘I recognise the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years and support their wish for a more independent life’.

Her majesty then praised Duchess Meghan for her efforts as a royal, continuing, ‘I want to thank them for all their dedicated work across this country, the Commonwealth and beyond, and am particularly proud of how Meghan has so quickly become one of the family’.

The Queen then finished, ‘It is my whole family’s hope that today’s agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful new life’.
