THE Queen will allow the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a “period of transition” to spend time in Canada and the UK.
While stating that she was “entirely supportive” of their desire for a new role she said she “would have preferred” them to remain full-time working royals.
She expected final decisions to be made in the coming days.

She said, “My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family.”
The Queen said, “Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.”
