Following the shock announcement by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that they would step back as senior members of the Royal Family, the Queen called an emergency meeting, demanding that the matter be resolved “within days not weeks”.
The meeting, which took place at Sandringham Palace in Eastern England saw only Harry attend as Meghan returned to Canada to be with Archie the day after the couple made their announcement.
Their new agreement will see the couple step back from their senior royal positions. In addition to that, they will lose the HRH titles and repay the £2.4 million that they received for the renovation of Frogmore cottage which they will keep.
The couple, who used to be referred to as HRH The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will now only be referred to as The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
They will be allowed to earn money on their own in the agreement which takes effect from the Spring of 2020.
