Meghan returns to Canada as Queen seeks 'workable solution'

Friday, 10 January 2020 14:29

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, has returned to Canada to be with her eight-month-old son Archie.

It comes as discussions are ongoing over the future role for her and husband Prince Harry in the British Royal Family.

The couple announced this week that they want to step back from public duties.

News of Meghan's departure came amid Buckingham Palace releasing a new statement, in which it was announced Queen Elizabeth, her son and heir Prince Charles, and her grandson Prince William - are working "together at pace" with the couple to find "workable solutions" to their decision to quit day-to-day royal life and become financially independent.

A previous statement had called out Harry and Meghan's "different approach", fuelling claims senior royals were blindsided by the couple's announcement.
