TALKS to allow Prince Harry and Meghan to become part-time royals have hit a deadlock.

Palace aides and Government officials have been working round the clock to come up with proposals of how the couple will live outside the family after the Queen demanded a solution “in the coming days”.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned from their roles as senior royals last week in a move to split their time between Canada and the UK and earn their own money in the corporate world.

Government mandarins have been locked in discussion­s with their counterpar­ts in North America and been ordered to come up with proposals immediatel­y.

The Mirror yesterday revealed the couple’s bid to break free from The Firm could take up to six months to finalise.

An announceme­nt had been widely expected yesterday but it did not materialis­e.

“The Queen said it herself, these are complex issues and she is exactly right.

“He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s awful.” The attack took place outside the Thornton &

Ross plant in Linthwaite, near Huddersfie­ld, West Yorks, on Thursday. A nearby resident said: “I heard someone screaming, it was horrible. More and more police arrived, then the helicopter.”
