Queen reacts to announcement by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Queen Elizabeth Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth has reacted to the announcement by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step aside from their role in the royal family.

MyNigeria reported that the announcement was made yesterday via a statement which revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be relocating to Canada soon.

They also plan on having financial independence but will continue to pay their dues to the Queen.

In reaction, Queen Elizabeth stated that discussions are currently going on with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

"Discussions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work though".

An exasperated aide said:

"People had bent over backwards for them. They were given the wedding they wanted, the house they wanted, the office they wanted, the money they wanted, the staff they wanted, the tours they wanted and had the backing of their family. What more did they want?"

Another royal source said:

"It's deeply unfair to the Queen who doesn't deserve to be treated this way. It is a shoddy way to treat her. The family understands that they want to do something different and is perfectly willing to help them. People are just devastated".

The couple are accused of a secret plot in Canada and creating a website that is independent of their royal family without even the knowledge their loyal press team in the UK.

An insider said;

"The level of deceit has been staggering and everyone from the top of the royal household to the bottom feels like they have been stabbed in the back".
