“Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my nephew and his family,”, Queen Elizabeth II said in a statement.

My family and I fully support Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a new family,” she went on.

“Although we would prefer that they remain members of the royal family, we respect and understand their desire to live a more independent life as a family, while remain a valued part of my family. Harry and Meghan have clarified that they do not want to rely on public funds in their new lives. So it was agreed that there will be a transition period in which the Duke of Susexes will spend time in Canada and Great Britain”, Queen Elizabeth II said.

Elizabeth II added that these are complex issues for her family to resolve, but there is much work to be done until she has demanded that final decisions be made in the coming days.
