to talk more about it, anna stewart. >> crisis talks in the royal households.he queen herself instructing that these happen at pace. the palace source told cnn that these talks may soon bear fruit. a meeting is set in the queen's estate on monday. it will be attended by her majesty, prince charles, prince william and prince harry. notably absent, of course, will be meghan, the duchess of sussex. she returned to canada shortly after the announcement earlier in the week. a range of possibilities are going to be discussed at the meeting. although talks have happened very fast, the implementation of any one of these plans we're told will take some time. opinion in the uk has been highly divided over the duke and duchess' decision and also the way they communicated it to the public and to the royal family. critics of the duke and duchess say they shouldn't be able to earn money independently and attain royal titles. some say they should have to pay rentwindsor and security costs, as well. many people also say, however, they should do whatever they want and live wher

fielts like a clean break. >> anna stewart in london. thank you. i got chance to speak to the former spokesman of queen elizabeth. here is my conversation. i have to get your reaction to this news breaking around the world tonight. >> i'm not terribly surprised preponderance of the evidence they had to come to a solution that would fie both parties. they come up with the best solution. the queen is very pragmatic. she's very fonds of harry. very fonds of meghan. she wanted the right arrangement that would suit them and her and the rest of her family. you go back when queen edward 8, when he abdicated. she didn't get an hrh title. they won't be using hrh because it really will be a conflict of interest if they decide to use the sussex brand and go commercial. >> there's been talk about that royal sussex potential trademark or brand that they might want to capitalize on. is that still a possibility? >> it's very much a possibility. they've still got to get the sussex royal brand confirmed. they have launched it with the world intellectual property or

anna stewart joins us now from lone with the details. anna, the royal family sitting down in just a few hours to discuss these possible compromises. what's likely to be worked out and decided? >> reporter: it is absolutely unclear whether we'll get an agreement or an impasse as a result of the sandringham summit. it's been eerily quiet since the shock announcement last wednesday and the very curt response from buckingham palace. it's been quiet ever since then while the royals get together on the phone to figure out how they can move forward. here's a little preview of what will happen today. the queen's sandringham estate, a retreat and the family's get away. the family will get together to discuss the future role of the duke and duchess of sussex. attending will be her majesty, prince charles, prince william and prince harry. it will be the first time senior royals have seen each other face to face since the sussexes shock statement on wednesday. meghan, the duchess of sussex, returned to canada, but is expected to dial into the meeting

anna stewart joining us now live from buckingham palace in london. 's rather extraordinary, anna, perhaps even unseemly dare i say it in how this has publicly unfolded without family consultation. it's not how the royal family does business, is it? >> reporter: no, and if you think about it, prince harry ask his wife the duchess of sussex work for the royal family as part of a family business if you will. so you can imagine that there is a certain amount of shock here, that they were unaware that the couple was going to release that statement. buckingham palace said we understand their desire to take this approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through. i want to show you some of the headlines this morning. we have the sun which is going with megxit. civil war as harry and meg quit the royals. we have the daily mail, queen's furious, harry and meghan say we quit, and of course the daily mirror, they didn't even tell the queen, and the statement is shocking in itself, but i think the idea that the royal family weren't awa

let's go to cnn's anna stewart in london with oh, so many questions. begin with what does stepping back mean. why are they doing this? >> stepping back as senior royals, this comes straight off the back of a six-week break from public life, so no wonder they probably talked about whether or not this was the right decision. what does that mean, it could mean they lose their his and her royal highness titles. they're unlikely to lose the dutch a duke and duchess of sussex titles. we don't know if this will change the line of succession. currently prince harry is sixth in the line to the throne. they want to live an independent financial life, that they will split their time between the uk and north america and they will be launching a new charitable entity. >> okay. so when they say splitting their time between the uk and north america, does this mean they're moving into new york city? so many americans are wondering where they may land. >> are they moving next to you guys? who knows. i mean, the speculation is, of course, that they may be moving to cana

anna stewart joins us now from lo london with the latest on all this. good to see you, anna.al family meeting in just a few to discuss the future of harry and meghan. how is this likely to be worked out, do you think? what would be the compromises, presumably on both sides? >> yeah, the fact that this meeting is taking place implies that the plans put forward by the duke and duchess last week on their new website didn't meet royal approval. so this meeting it taking prop discussed. this is drawn up by those who represent the queen and prince charles. on the table we expect things like titles, funding, tax if they live across two different territories, grace and favor homes, the royal duties, who pays for the security. it's the first time since all the senior royals have seen each other face to face since the announcement. so quite honestly, in addition to all the horse trading, there has to be a family bonding moment, one would imagine, rosemary. >> indeed. there are worries that if they're not sort of within the royal fold that they could get entangled with slippery individu

. >> cnn's anna stewart joins us with more from london.ng with the queen, what might be a workable solution for the family? >> reporter: well, that's an interesting one, because there has to be some sort of solution that doesn't break apart the royal family, bonded together, clearly there have been some rifts there. also, it wants to protect the royal family as an institution. and thirdly, this is not just a solution for harry and meghan, this is a solution that has to work for the royals. already there are discussions about slimming down the royal family, particularly in the likes of prince andrew and the scandal with him, stepping back, that perhaps the royals are in direct line to the throne to perhaps take a different role. whatever solution is found here will be found quickly now will probably apply to princess charlotte and prince louie in years to come. here we have the "daily mail" with the fury, and "the daily mirror" while the discussion is going on, people are talking about whether or not they support the decision for the couple

cnn's anna stewart has more about it. >> reporter: the queen's sandringham estate a much-loved countrynd the royal family's christmas getaway. monday it will host a different sort of get-together. crisis talks to decide the future role of the duke and duchess of sussex. attending will be her majesty, prince charles, prince william and harry. it will be the first time senior royals have seen each other face-to-face since the sussex's shock statement on monday. meghan, the duchess of sussex, returned to canada but is expected to dial into the meeting. the announcement came in defines of the queen who expressly asked prince harry to hold off making any statements. a terse response from buckingham palace appeared to express her displeasure. discussions with the duke and duchess of sussex are at an early stage. we understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through. officials acting for the queen, prince charles and prince william were instructed to work together at pace to find workable solutions for the future role of

anna stewart, cnn, lone. >> journalist and royal expert sandra monetti, trustee of the royal societynt george joins me now from los angeles to talk about it. hello, sandro. >> hello. i've ready for the crisis talks at sandringham. never mind the ticket to the superbowl. this is where i'd love to be in attendance. can you imagine, the queen at 93 years old, will take charge of yet another royal scandal, the best of her rein. she's summoned the family, it's a council of war. >> though think about it. you've got prince william who has said he's very sad about this rift with his brother harry. you've got their father and the queen, and they're all so very proper. so you don't think this meeting will be a more proper royal meeting? >> it will be cups of tea, cucumber sandwiches and a very orderly agenda. i don't think there 's going to be feisty cups at the royal estate. put it that way. for serious -- if we can talk seriously for the moment, there is a potential constitutional crisis to discuss megh. meghan and harry say they want to step away from royal duties. what does that mean? most

. >>> cnn correspondent anna stewart is joining us from london. there is a sadness in his voice, how is it being perceived there? >> reporter: it feels personal and honest and very sad sort of farewell speech if you will. he speaks directly to the people, he's speaking not as a prince or a duke but harry, the same person many of you watched growing up the last 35 years. it is quite clear here that the agreement that has been reached, they'll step down as the royal family, not the agreement they wanted. they'll continue to serve the queen, the commonwealth and military association but without public funding. unfortunately, that was not possible. another point i would like to pick up on, it was his decision. the tabloid really sided on the whole idea this was a #mexit and all down to the dutch of sussex. the decision i have made my wife and i to step back. the media being a powerful force so much to get into there. i think this is what we'll see from the duke and duchess going forward. it is a whole fresh new beginning. it feels like a lot of sadnes
