Palace denies Meghan Markle was barred from crisis talks with the Queen, Harry, William and Charles

There was a concern the private conversation may be recorded or intercepted.
  • 15 Jan 2020

It had been reported that Meghan Markle was due to phone into yesterday's crisis talks with the royal family at Sandringham from Canada, however, it was later claimed that she was "barred" from the discussion to avoid it being recorded.

But a Kensington Palace spokesman insisted on Tuesday that Meghan was not shut out and just left it to her husband, Prince Harry. According to the Daily Mail, the statement read: "In the end, the Sussexes decided that it wasn't necessary for the Duchess to join."

It came as a tired-looking Prince William emerged for the first time since the Queen said she was not happy but agreed that the couple could quit and move to Canada with eight-month-old, Archie.

The Queen said she supported Prince Harry and Meghan's "desire to create a new life as a young family" in a statement.

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

“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 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.

The statement continued: “Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives.

“It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK.

“These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days," she concluded.

The Sun has reported that William and Harry's relationship is “tense and deeply damaged” following a major row between the brothers before the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day in Berkshire in July 2019.
