Queen’s approval

Royal family ‘entirely supportive’ of Harry and Meghan move

A HEARTBROKEN Queen has graciously let Prince Harry and Meghan Markle go their own way as she throws aside protocol to save her family.

The Queen, 93, has allowed her grandson and his wife a chance to start a new life in Canada with their baby Archie, issuing an emotional statement yesterday.

It comes amid claims of fighting between Prince William,

37, and Prince Harry, 35, with sparks flying the night before a polo game attended by both their wives and children.

The spat was reportedly so bitter, they have not been able to recover, as Harry strikes out a new path for the royal family.

A 90-minute meeting between the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry sealed the royal divorce deal yesterday.

“Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family,” the Queen said.

“My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family.

“Although we would have preferred them to remain fulltime 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.”

Mending fences between Prince William and Prince Harry may not be as simple.

The Sun newspaper, which broke the story about Prince Harry’s Canada move, said the brothers’ relationship was “tense and deeply damaged”.

Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland has backed the couple’s decision to walk out on the royal family.

There were few details of how the couple would become part-time royals, with security and finances still up in the air, but with another promise of more news within days.

“Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives,” the Queen said.
