For service today at Mary Magdalene’s Church the Queen was pictured wearing a camel coat and a matching hat with colored details, in the company of her grandson Peter Phillips.
Her arrival and exit was a highlight for a cheering crowd of Royal fans who just wanted to see the Queen. Despite the recent waves caused by the Sussex’s announcement to resign from being senior members of the family which has not been easy for both members of the family and the public alike.
As the only member of the Royal family to publicly speak up about this decision, Her Royal Highness the Queen, has summoned members of the Royal family on Monday at Sandringham to carefully discuss the Sussex’s futures in the family.
However, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex might not be present at the meeting but will join via conference call as she is in Canada with baby Archie while Prince Harry will be attending.
Courtiers at Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Kensington Palace have been liaising with the UK and Canadian governments to try to find an arrangement that works for both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal family, with issues such as funding and security among several being discussed.
Here’s the announcement Harry and Meghan shared on their Instagram account:
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. “We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.”
