royals. the couple will pay back more than 2.4 million pounds of public money spent on refurbishing their residence — frogmore cottage in windsor. they will also stop receivng public funding for royal duties, and harry will resign from his official military appointments. hello and welcome to world news today. prince harry and meghan will no longer use their royal titles, and will no longer recieve public funds to carry out royal duties. this has been confirmed by buckingham palace. in a statement her majesty the queen said. harry, meghan and archie will always be much loved members of my family. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more from buckingham palace. hugely significant. it is taking the past week or so to really drill down how this is going to work and there have been various meetings going on at the highest levels of government in the royal family to come up with this plan for them going forward. it isa this plan for them going forward. it is a significant moment, there steppi

royal family, for a blood royal, someone poured into the royalfamily, to for a blood royal, someone the royal family, to lose the hrh handle —— someone born into the royal family. hrh handle —— someone born into the royalfamily. a hrh handle —— someone born into the royal family. a measure hrh handle —— someone born into the royalfamily. a measure of hrh handle —— someone born into the royal family. a measure of royal rank. it is something that is given to people who are full—time working members of the royal family in to people who are full—time working members of the royalfamily in most cases but that issue has been resolved on this occasion with them not using their hrh titles. it leaves the way open, i suppose, that if they decide to resume full—time work as members of the royal family, they can serve to use their hrh title, or harry, once again. forthe moment, they will something not use them. the previous statement that was issued by the queen a few days ago talked about how she was sorry, the queen was sorry, they would not going to be playing the same part as before. do you

the senior royals.review is in place there will be no oversight as to what commercial deals are in place, that is quite interesting really. ithink they are relying on the integrity of harry and meghan not to exploit the royal brand all the royal name or tarnish it in anyway. i think it is a balancing act, the fact there is a review in place i think is quite important for the royal family because there is always a chance that members of the public won't wa nt that members of the public won't want to see them cashing in any way on the royal brand. the other thing is on security, my understanding is because prince harry is a prince of the realm, the canadians will pick up the realm, the canadians will pick up most of the tab for security. they will spend the majority of theirtime in canada, though they will spend the majority of their time in canada, though they will retain frogmore hole cut edge as their uk residents when they come back. they will be invited to royal family events, so we have not seen the

of the royals.from the queen. again, speaking as a grandmother, like a statement earlier in the week, talking about her grandson, talking about the fact that they have come to a constructive and supportive way forward. clearly this is what she wanted, in terms of a decision to be made, that this matter doesn‘t drag on. but again, the statement, like the last one, is tinged with sadness and regret. she talks about yes, of course they are still members of her family, she talks about the scrutiny they have been under, which has clearly been a factor in their decision. and i think in a way, it is notable for the fact perhaps that underpinning it is a sense of now two members of the firm having basicallyjumped two members of the firm having basically jumped ship. i two members of the firm having basicallyjumped ship. i mean, discussion in recent days has been hellfire and megan could be part of royal and part is not. —— how far harry and meghan. statement answers that quite definitively. they are not to

it is that use of the royal brand. he is born into a royal family. he is royal blood.ing that they move —— that they made up. they invented the name sussex royal, that belongs to them and the aides need to get over it. perhaps they can see that they... they will carry on the argument. they have said we trust you to get on with not getting on with —— we trust you to get on with it but that name is too close to the royal brand and don't use it. take royal brand and don't use it. take royal out of it. sussex royal, they have 11 million followers on instagram. they only set this up less than a year ago. they were the fastest—growing followers less than a year ago. they were the fastest—g rowi ng followers on instagram ever. they got 4 million followers in one hour. and the fact that these two people are now going to represent brexit britain is dumb. it is very, very damaging. that we don't have them bringing out the good news about the new status of the country. cervical cancer on the way to being eliminated? this is a really good news story. i think the times has got the

a man who was born to be royal will no longer style himself as his royal highness.yal highness. that hrh styling applies to full—time, working members of the british royal family which, come the spring, harry and meghan will no longer be. they are going with the best wishes of the queen. in a statement from buckingham palace, she said... the details of how their new life will work are comparatively sparse. it is clear many of them have still to be worked out. but here are the essentials. under the new arrangement, they are required to step back from royal duties, including official military appointments. so harry will have to give up his role as captain general of the royal marines, a role he took over from his grandfather. they will no longer receive public funds for royal duties. they will still receive some funds from harry's father, the prince of wales, but they will be free to earn their own livings and there are no restrictions set out in the statement other than the need to continue to uphold the values of her majesty. it's as vague as that. they will keep fr

the royals rather than members of the royal family. has been going crazy over at? it has been a big story, there have been other big stories, not least of which the snowstorm you referred to earlier and the tragic incident of thejet referred to earlier and the tragic incident of the jet being shot down in tehran. but this has titillated many in parts of canada particularly our west coast with the suffixes have formed a royal refuge on vancouver island. there has been lots of speculation as to whether they would settle their or toronto whether duchess has enormous connections. there has been a lot of concern about whether or not canadians would end up putting what could be a very dramatic security bill for royals being in the country ona bill for royals being in the country on a full—time basis. we have a delicate situation with many canadians not always understanding that they have a monarchy and that royals are there royals as much of the uk but now it seems there is a bit of walking back from that and i suspect we would not be in a s

this is a royal divorce in the sense of the official side, between their duties, as royals, and they are no longer going to be that. they had a choice and they have chosen not to do it and the queen, to the official side, played hardball, and she has taken, she has said, you're not using the titles, even though they are keeping the titles which is interesting because of course diana lost her royal highness title when she divorced charles but they are keeping the titles, they just won't use them. there will be restrictions on what they can do, obviously, and they can't represent the queen. but the statement, as max said, it is very clear that you're still part of the family. you can't divorce the family as such. >> i mean there was a tender itness , tenderness in that statement coming from the queen. >> do you remember what the queen said before diana's funeral, she looked in the camera and said, what i say to you, i say as your queen, and a grandmother. now, so we are getting another example of that here. the constant reference by her majesty, that, you know, there is a human family

royals. kitty logan has been following this astounding news from london. kitty, are they fired, did the queen fire them or what does this exactly mean? >> reporter: this is an agreement that was made between the royal family and harry and meghan. there are two statements, one from the queen, a personal statement effective wishing the duke and duchess of sus e sex sl in their future plans. the titles, touche an duke and f cycle, they will be no more. they will give up their titles. they're confirming they're going to step back from all their royal duties including military appointments. they will no longer receive public funds. this is very important. this is taxpayer money from the british public that goes into the royal family. there was a lot of concern, i think, that the couple would try to keep some level of funding. that has been made very clear in this statement that they will be independent financially. also, interesting to note, that they will repay the renovation costs for their home

the changing face of the royal family, harry and meghan‘s decision exposes strains within the royal familywe'll have reactions from the public. the royal family that we're left with now is less diverse and quite frankly is not a true reflection of what the current world is. he'sa he's a prince at the end of the day and obviously he's got to do his duty with the queen. questions now about whether the sussexes can go it alone and still do their royal duties. also tonight... families mourning after the ukranian airlines crash, president trump suggest it may have have been shot down by mistake. left in a hospital trolley for more than 2a hours, a&e departments in england record their worst ever performance. disappointing christmas sales round off the toughest year on record on the high street. the sound of 2020, 25—year—old celeste is tipped to follow in the footsteps of adele and sam smith. and in the sport on bbc news — gambling firms agree to waive their exclusive rights to show some fa cup matches some fa cup matches after criticism from the government. good evening and welcome to the bbc

royal brand, their trademark of the name sussex royal. too much, and that we don't see them endorsing brands which can palace would feel to be very distasteful. all of this remains to be worked out and it's going to be reviewed in a yea r‘s and it's going to be reviewed in a year's time to see how and if it is working. a work in progress. i wonder, finally, even the fact that we we re wonder, finally, even the fact that we were talking about the possibility of a slims down monarchy in the future, a risk that those left will feel they have too much on their plates? i think that is a concern. prince charles, of course, has been more active in support of his aged mother, the queen, and when prince charles does inevitably inherit the throne he will not be a young man himself. he is 70 now and i think the expectation was that both his sons william and harry would support him. now, clearly, it falls to only william, and i think it's huge pressure now on william and kate, the duke and duchess of campers, and it is going to be interest in whether

be part of the royal family and i think the royal family could be stronger for it.ming into talk to us. thank you. the british and irish governments have published the text of a draft deal aimed at restoring power sharing in northern ireland. the secretary of state for northern ireland, julian smith, alongside irish deputy prime minister simon coveney made the announcement at a press conference at stormont this evening. the parties and the government have worked for many months to find a spirit of agreement in collaboration and in compromise, and i believe that there is something in this new dealfor that there is something in this new deal for everyone, that there is something in this new dealfor everyone, and that there is something in this new deal for everyone, and i that there is something in this new dealfor everyone, and i hope that they're able to support it. not all they're able to support it. not all the documents are agreed by all the parties. some are commitments by each government. but i believe we have a deal that all parties in northern ireland can sup

they have royal rank full working members of the royal family.that because they simply will not use it and i suspect there may be a feeling in the palace that well, perhaps, some point in the future they may come back. so much depends on how they conduct themselves in relation to earning that income, whether they are seen to be blatantly exploiting their royal status. the rules have been kept very vague. a commitment nearly to uphold the principles of the queen and officials are muttering about that make the nolan principles of conduct in public life. i think also that these suffixes are about to discover how durable is the celebrity that they have once they are unhitched from the royal machine. in truth, in north america it probably will not make that much difference. all these new arrangements come into force in the spring and they will be reviewed after 12 months. an investigation by the police watchdog has concluded that senior officers ignored sexual abuse of girls in rotherham by asian men, for fear of causing racial tensions. the iopc uphe

and not a bit royal, and have your freedom... be a bit royal and not a bit royal, and have yourfreedom. daily be a bit royal and not a bit royal, and have your freedom... daily the royal couple themselves have tried to address this by talking about having their own financial independence. but none of that was cleared as we understand it with the palace beforehand. cleared as we understand it with the palace before handlj cleared as we understand it with the palace beforehand. i want to show you that picture really because we must go to our other story, the son going with the frown, saying grim faced trouble and that cleaned drives away and we can talk about the next hour about the queen and how she might feel about all those people saying she is the linchpin of the traditional royal family and what a shock this must‘ve been for her. other people take different views. one other‘s story we want to touchis views. one other‘s story we want to touch is in the eye, making a killing. arms dealers enjoy a boost from iran crisis. they have been crunching the numbers on stocks and sha res crunch

they have insisted on the removal of the royal role and effectively, the royal status.he sussexes will be pleased that the rules on earning income of fairly vague but there are many areas which are still to be clarified, not least how much oversight there will be of this stop will they still have a private office and a private secretary? that all has to be worked out in the next weeks and months. but i think we can deduce tonight that prince harry is not happy with the way this has turned out. thank you forjoining us. suspected stalkers in england and wales could be ordered to stop contacting or approaching their alleged victims while they're being investigated. from tomorrow, police will be able to apply to magistrates for a stalking protection order before someone is charged. if they break it, they could be jailed for five years. a deal‘s been struck between world leaders in berlin to try to bring peace to libya after nine years of conflict. they've pledged not to interfere in the country and to uphold a un arms embargo. libya has been torn apart by fighting and insta

interests, the fact they brought a different face to the royal family at the royal family we re royaloyal family were hoping to harness that star power, that clearly looks like it will be less likely to happen now. so so many more questions to answer. 0k, sarah, thank you. sarah campbell at buckingham palace. the couple have said they intend to become financially indpendent and have outlined where their funding has come from until now. the sovereign grant covers just five percent of costs for the duke and duchess, 95% of the funding comes from income allocated by hrh the prince of wales, generated through the duchy of cornwall. dan wootton broke the news of harry and meghan spending more time in canada yestersay on the front page of the sun. he joins us live on the line now. a big scoop for you. congratulations, and with this statement absolutely bearing out what you are writing about yesterday, what is your take on how the couple are going to make this plan of theirs work? well, it's going to be a lot more difficult for them now, because of the fact that they did rush the statement o

sussex royal isa name, autonomously privately. sussex royal is a name, there is a?nswer and whether they will use that for the foundation moving forward. what about the money side? they're paying back £21; million which a lot of people has caused bitter rancour, the fact that the taxpayers money spent on renovating their home. they are going to that fact. in a pr point of view is that a good thing? it was the right decision because they said initially they wanted to be free from public funding. however there will be a question marks over how the could do that with the set they propose. they propose to still carry out royal tours which are funded with public money. they have taken all the things away and when it came to frogmore, cottage it was renovated at taxpayers expense on the premises would be their official residence for many years to come carried out their duties as working lives. that will not happen out so they have made the right decision as far as public perceptions concerned to pay that money back. we are told, it was asked, would they pay commercial ren

royal expert and cnn royal commentator joins us in new york. i want to go back to the statement from the queen today. what stands out most to you about that? >> it was the deeply personal nature of the statement. the british monoarchy is drippig in formality. this is reiterates that the queen is acting as head och state but also as a grandmother. she needed to find a solution that would satisfy the wishes of harry and meghan but also something that will be acceptable to the british public. i think this statement really hit all the right marks. >> i was to bring in kate williams. the queen mentions that intense scrutiny that pair had been under and she had such warm words to say about meghan saying how quickly she's become part of the family. is there a sense at all from some that perhaps the queen could have put out a supportive statement like this over the last couple of years when the couple was under that juscrutin she mentions. >> i think that's an important point. this is a very personal, very warm statement. the queen complimenting meghan

what does being a progressive royal mean, what does being outside of the royal family, and that meang things they are good ideas or still going to be in the business of serving the broader public in terms of things that are important for the royal family to do. we of things that are important for the royalfamily to do. we have of things that are important for the royal family to do. we have always had that approach with royal visitors, they have done things canadians felt was important so i think that is a significant question. and security and other issues. richard, thank you so much. my issues. richard, thank you so much. my pleasure. in iraq, at least two rockets have been fired into in the heavily fortified green zone in the capital baghdad. foreign government buildings including the us embassy are based there, but american officials say there are "no coalition casualties or damage to facilities." earlier, president trump said iran appeared to be standing down after the launch of more than 20 missiles at iraqi bases where american and iraqi troops are stationed. vice president mi

they are out of the royal family as working royals.e free to earn their own income and no longer using their title and they will repay all the money that has been spent by the queen and by the taxpayer on their accommodations. so, really, they're not half in, half out. they're not doing some engagements and not others. they are really very much now independent people and this is a huge story and the beginning, i think, of great change for the royal family. there's been a lot of talk over the last ten years or so about a slimmed down monarchy here reducing the amount of people in the royal family and this is what ittic loo ilooks like. meghan and harry, we hope they will have a wonderful, peaceful life, life outside of the royal gold fish bowl and be much happier and this is a big shock. a movement towards a completely different way of being royal. >> absolutely. her wedding was spectacular and then the birth of their baby and now this. does it come as a surprise to you that harry wants this? >> well, you're right, natalie. this was a w

, whatever not being senior royals, whatever not being senior royals, whatever not being senior royalsit's around them, it's around the whole, sort of, soap opera of their lives and their involvement, and that isn't going to change whether you move them from being with the royal family in madame tussauds or anything else on. from mexit to brexit, we will be quick stop britain's exit to the eu is effectively a formality on the 31st as the bill passes through commons. but it doesn't end there, does it? we have now have months of negotiations around trade deals. march two november is the window if you look at the eu timetable, various meetings and things like that, so a lot has to be done quickly and if we get to the end of the year without that negotiation having been done, it won't be entirely a no—deal brexit because some work has been done on trade agreements and there is an agreement with the french on defence. we won't get to the end of the year, i would imagine, witha get to the end of the year, i would imagine, with a fully spec out a deal that tells us where we will be in the fut

step back from royal duties.re are questions about how the couple will live and fund themselves as they carve out what they call "a progressive new role‘ for themselves, public opinion seems divided. the royal family that we are left with now, is less diverse and quite frankly, it's not the true reflection of what the current world is. i believe they're going do what they want to do. like i said, i wish them all the best in the choice they make in life. inaudible here at buckingham palace there is disappointed that the queen nor other senior members of the royal family at work consulted ahead of the announcement. we'll be looking at the changing face of the royal family. the other main stories on bbc news at 5. the ukrainian plane that crashed in iran killing 176 people on board, president trump says he has suspicions about the cause. a&e departments in england record their worst ever performance, it follows a big rise in the number of patients. more signs of a tough christmas for the high street, john lewis may

after all, this new role of park royal, part private royal has not been tried before and there is a lotcampbell, thank you very much indeed. what is the reaction across the atlantic? laura podesta is correspondent for cbs news in new york. laura, what do meghan markle's fellow americans make of the announcement? i think ithinka i think a lot of americans have immense sympathy for meghan because they know she fell in love, she left her great career as an actress to move to another country, and she has been attacked by the british tabloids, who have scrutinised her relationship with the queen, with other royals. and as far as social media here in the us, they are responding a little bit tongue in cheek saying happy wife, happy life. so if this is something meghan feels she needs to do, remove herself from being a senior royal with harry, then both of them will be a whole lot happier. there are also questions about what they will do with some of their new free time and in order to become financially independent. will they be driving an uber or opening a restaurant? there arejokes about ube

royal past?ll, it's really an interesting question because he's still a royal. you can't take that away from him. he is still a royal. he is born to the heir of the throne. his mother is the queen. he's still a royal but he's not a senior royal. can he use it? i can't see them ever litigating it. really big question is meghan going be back to television and film. what are the causes they are going to champion because they will still be allow to have it and how is he going to earn money. is he going to do corporate boards or advisory? what is harry going to do to earn money or is he going to try and parlay the royals. it will be an interesting question. >> for sure. thank you very much for taking the time. we'll be right back. so what are you working on? >>i'm searching for info on options trading, and look, it feels like i'm just wasting time. wasted time is wasted opportunity. >>exactly. that's why td ameritrade designed a first-of-its-kind, personalized education center. see, you just >>oh, thi

i think that is part of the royal family is.s to adapt and survive to the world around it. it also tries to change in certain ways. i am it also tries to change in certain ways. iam not it also tries to change in certain ways. i am not massively interested in the royal family, ways. i am not massively interested in the royalfamily, so i don't follow all the ins and outs. it is quite difficult to escape when it is everywhere, and you can't really escape some of this drama that goes on. but i think what it seems to be is, we have this photo as well of the different generations of the royal family standing together, and it seems like this is really laying the ground for the future of the royal family and what that will look like. and for people who are may be more interested in the royalfamily which i think is lots of people in the uk and beyond, people will be interested to see how harry and meghan relate to the monarchy, if at all. what is this relationship going to look like? how are they going to manage this? it seems difficult

they're known as sussex royal. the organization is known as sussex royal.longer royals. >> that was one of my follow-up questions. can they keep that, sussex royal. because they've already marketed that moniker for themselves. >> they have. it is under discussion, let's say that. the big issue for them is the accusation that they may be cashing in on the royal brand which they didn't create, certainly harry spent a lifetime adding to that in a powerful way, but this is a brand that goes back a thousand years and there's an issue about how they're allowed to cash in on that, i think the word royal will have to be taken away from a lot of what they do. duchess of sussex, harry of sussex, they'll be meghan and harry. she refers to them as meghan and harry. this is how we'll know them from now on. duke and duchess of sussex but i don't think we'll necessarily be using that in the future. >> is this a victory for this couple. is much of what they wanted, some of what they wanted or a little bit of what they didn't want? >> i think they got what they wanted. they

royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. nicholas: within the seclusion of sandringham housemily meeting chaired by the queen and attended and is two sons, prince william, harry, duke of sussex, to discuss how o step away fromthe e royal family. after the talks from the queen issued a statement saying "although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working members of the royal family, we respect and understand their wish tode be me ndent members of the royal family well-being a part of my family." she went on wo say that they d be "a period of transition in which the sussexes will spend in canada and the u.k." whatever the precise reasons for the sussexes' disenchantment, it is clear that the royal family is determined topr fintical solutions. in a statement, "the sussexes don't plan to rely on public funds." security is one of the complex before today's talks began,d. william and harry had come together to denounce a newspaper story which suggested the sussexes felt they'd been pushed away by the "bullying attitu

here's our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell. queen used yesterday about harry and meghan were warm and supportive, but the deal done with them by her officials was an uncompromising one. the reputation of the royal family must be protected. it's already been battered by prince andrew's misjudgment and the family doesn't want any embarrassment from the sussexes once they're cut loose in canada. i think families are always a problem and i think she's dealt with it incredibly well. ijust think it's a shame. and it's a shame with the little one as well. yeah. yeah, for the whole family. william, charles, everybody. it is. as long as we're not paying for the lifestyle they're hoping to live, then i don't have a problem with that. there was support, too, from the prime minister. i think the whole country will want to join in wishing them the very best for the future. i said before that i was sure that the royal family, which has been around a very long time, will find a way forward and i'm sure it will. but there was a very much less

may, senior royals we re couple's this may, senior royals were reluctant to discuss their plans with ta ke plans with them so the pair decided to take time out with a six week sabbatical to canada in november and december, and presumably while they we re december, and presumably while they were there got even more dismayed about what was happening. my take is this is the 21st—century, we've got birds living in a gilded cage the way they used to centuries ago in the ottoman empire. we don't have working royals with a map as to how to live their lives and they are regularly getting into trouble when they try to become working royals. so many questions. we don't really know what's going on behind closed doors. let's turn to the front page of the observer, this is the other big story, and anger coming from within iran against their government, against their supreme leader. the story that should be leading the front pages because we know that a week ago we thought we we re know that a week ago we thought we were facing world war three. following the admission by the iranian regime that it

they're still members of the royal family, loved members of the royal family but they're not going toresent the queen in her name. >> there's been a lot of points of contention from the public, about who would pay for things going forward, this seems to outline it. there were public moneys used for the renovation of their frogmore cottage, it had been a cottage on castle grounds that was used by several employees of queen elizabeth in windsor but then they renovated it, expanded it, made it child friendly for baby archie, now about 8 months old, born in may of last year. but the question was, going forward would they receive money from the queen. and it would appear not any more state moneys. there has been questions as to whether they will get money from the dutch of cornwall, that is what prince charles runs, a trust that he has that's worth many, many millions. i believe it was 20 million, either dollars or pounds, that that generates each year and he had been funding approximately 95% of their livelihood for the last few years. he can continue to do that, if he wants. it's my my u

these royal walkabouts will be no more for harry and meghan, as their life as working royals ends.e officials say the couple now wish to pay back money spent on their home in windsor. they will also pay commercial rent on frogmore cottage. there is a quid pro quo in this relationship between the royal family and the public and the taxpayer, and they were not playing the game. and i think the fact that they have acknowledged that and they are handing back that money makes everything right again. so canada will be home for most of the year. immigration rules mean that harry, as a british citizen, can stay in canada for six months at a time on a visa. the status of meghan's application for british citizenship is unclear, especially if most of her time is spent outside the uk. details of the couple's new security arrangements will not be made public. from meghan's estranged father, there was a harsh assessment of the choices his daughter and her husband have made. every young girl wants to become a princess and she got that. and now she is tossing that away for... it looks like she is

i think this is a huge moment for the royal family and royal historians in the future will look back the beginning of the change for the firm. this, to me, is the royal family being brought in line with the european royalties. the majority of european royal families, siblings of the king, siblings of the king to be, what they do is they are usually ordinary, to a degree, people. they have careers. i think that is a model we are moving towards. why has this happened? despite smiles for the cameras, reports suggest frustration on harry's part at the constraints of his position. the intensity of the spotlight on them and media treatment of meghan, who's mixed race, infuriated the couple. harry lashed out at the press, accusing it of hounding his wife as it had his mother, and meghan launched legal action against one newspaper. at their wedding less than two years ago, it all seemed so different. harry and meghan embodied a new modern spirit of multiculturalism and progressive values. reporting then on the public celebration at windsor, i was struck by the diversity of the crowd — more m

royal soap 0prah.at we could be losing or what the royalfamily could be at what we could be losing or what the royal family could be losing. at what we could be losing or what the royalfamily could be losing. if you are not a royalist, what do you think we could be losing? the newspapers know they are going to lose something. they are a draw, though, rob. the couple. the royals, full stop. i respect their royal opinion, even if i don't agree with it. if harry lives abroad, it is simply not important other than to the royal family themselves. the royal family, for goodness sakes, survived and absent —— abdication crisis. that was a genuine crisis. this can't possibly be on that scale. anyway, we will find out sooi'i. scale. anyway, we will find out soon. prince harry has an important date on thursday where he has to do the draw for the rugby league world cup. so therefore he would be presumably facing the media on thursday and i guess that is why there is some pressure to reach some sort of decision on

let's move onto the royal story.rdian, the picture there with the queen and the duke touch of sussex at different times and circumstances. top royals scramble to forage plan for meghan and harry. this took buckingham palace by surprise. the queen, from what we understand is saying we need to sort this and quickly. that was a lot of cove rage of this and quickly. that was a lot of coverage of this story, but the news about the queen not knowing the announcement from pentz harry and meghan meant deep papers cannot give the full run that they wanted to. across all of them i think tomorrow we will see a good ten or 15 pages devoted to the story, and the guardianjust having devoted to the story, and the guardian just having a devoted to the story, and the guardianjust having a side bar here talking about the need to fix it quickly. if brexit was the story of 2019, i think what's happening to the royal family will be the story of 2020, and i'm always looking for the positive, maybe that gives us a re st the positive, maybe

but, they are not clicking the royal family, they are definitely changing the royal role. this is unprecedented and as you say uncharted territory, can actually work? how would it work? we have to wait and see. i think it's going to be difficult, they are all kinds of questions, on the question of precedent, there is one before and he go back to the 1930s, we go back to the great crisis of their wild family facing when king edward viii was torn between his love for a divorcee which was then seen as absolutely impossible for him to marry a divorcee and his unity to the crown. and he chose love and he abdicated. that was a massive crisis with a well family. this is not the same kind of thing because of course harry is not in line for this round, he is eight or ninth in line for the throne, it's very unlikely that he will get back and it is still in modern times unprecedented, can it work? we will wait and see, they seem fairly confident that they can make this work, i think there are a lot of questions about first of all as you are a saying, what there was will become a ther

royal titles, it seems that they will remain his and her royal highness.ecurity, it is one of the complex matters still to be resolved. earlier, william and harry had come together to denounce a newspaper story which suggested the sussexes felt that they had been pushed away by the bullying attitude of william. the story was false, offensive, and potentially harmful the brothers said. today's talks and tonight's statement from the queen have emphasised that the family's understanding and sympathy for harry. people who know him believe his loyalties must be in turmoil. i think harry will be hugely conflicted at the moment, he loves his wife, he wants to protect his wife, and she it would seem is very unhappy living here in our royal family. on the other hand, he was born into the royalfamily, he has served it, he has served the queen and country in a military setting. he expected to spend his whole life working for the royal firm. and while harry may be conflicted, it appears meghan feels wounded by criticism which in some cases it she believes has been rac

the royal family as part of our family, in a way. if you are british, i am very royal.mily asa because what you said is the royal family as a part of our family and meghan, toa family as a part of our family and meghan, to a lot of people, does not fit what a royal family should look like. i think she was going to be a fantastic breath of fresh air.” think that is a problem, a lot of people don't really like her because it's not what a princess should look like. she is not about...” it's not what a princess should look like. she is not about... i think she does look like a princess, actually. she looks sensational when she dresses. what has she done wrong? i think she is not patient enough. i think she doesn't understand the difference between being a celebrity and being royal. i think that is really fair, there are differences. harry said he never, ever differences. harry said he never, ever wanted to be a celebrity. there isa ever wanted to be a celebrity. there is a narrow line, the celebrity choices when they are in the public eye and a royal has a duty 24 hours a d

here's our royal correspondent daniela relph. queen at church near sandringham this morning after what must have been a difficult time for her, both as monarch and as a grandmother. just behind her, her son the duke of york, whose own stepping back from royal duties has been an added strain for the queen in weeks. i think families are always a problem and i think she's dealt with it incredibly well. ijust think it's a shame. and it's a shame with the little one as well. yeah, for the whole family it's a shame, william, charles, everybody. as long as we are not paying for the lifestyle they hope to live, then i don't have a problem with that. and from the prime minister there was backing for the couple's plans. i think the whole country wants to join in wishing them the very best, i said before that i was sure that royal family has been around a very long time, will find our way forward and i'm sure it will. cheering. big decisions had been made in recent days. these royal walkabout will be no more for harry and meghan as their li

royals are concerned. that would be the queen, prince charles, prince william and eventually of course prince george. but this is not the way that anyone would have wanted it to be done. let's not forget something, when we're talking about clean breaks and all of that. harry and meghan were, and remain, stars, and they managed to reach the bits of the population here and around the world that are the royal seven, particularly younger people, they got through to the social media generation, people ofan the social media generation, people of an ethnic minority. it is a loss to the royal family and perhaps of an ethnic minority. it is a loss to the royalfamily and perhaps in of an ethnic minority. it is a loss to the royal family and perhaps in a sense they have dealt with this, it isa sense they have dealt with this, it is a real loss to the star power and to their brand and their ability to reinvent and refresh themselves. they would be doing hundreds of engagements they would have done, so that workload pr

the royal family has faced major threats before.e brought the abdication of the king, edward viii. then, 60 years later, harry's mother, diana, died in a car crash, her sons made to walk behind her coffin. last year, prince andrew stepped down from his royal duties after a bbc interview about his links with a convicted paedophile. all moments which tested the monarchy‘s resilience. but harry and meghan‘s decision to step back as senior royals is unprecedented in this era. i think this is a huge moment for the royalfamily and royal historians in the future will look back and see this as the beginning of the change for the firm. this, to me, is the royalfamily being brought in line with the european royalties. the majority of european royal families, siblings of the king, siblings of the king to be, what they do is they are usually ordinary, to a degree, people. they have careers. i think that is a model we are moving towards. why has this happened? despite smiles for the cameras, reports suggest frustration on harry's part at the con
