When Prince Harry and Meghan announced they would be stepping back as working royals, the country was left stunned by the news. For the couple, things in the royal spotlight had become unmanageable, and they sent out a shock statement revealing that they wanted to give up being full-time royals.
Initially, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had hoped to continue representing the monarchy, but on a part-time basis, relinquishing the public funding they received as full-time working royals, and instead becoming free to make their own money.
Rapidly, a crisis meeting was called, with the senior royals gathered by the late Queen Elizabeth as what is now known as the 'Sandringham Summit' - which saw King Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry, the late Queen, and her private secretary meet to discuss the Sussex family's future.
