Queen Elizabeth II and senior royals have called on aides to find a “workable solution” to the future of Prince Harry and his wife in the royal family within “days, not weeks”, UK media reported Thursday. The domestic Press Association and Sky News television both quoted an unnamed Buckingham Palace source, saying that the monarch, and princes Charles and William wanted answers as soon as possible. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s bombshell resignation from front-line royal duties rocked the British monarchy on Thursday, with reports they defied Queen Elizabeth II by going public. In a short, terse response a little while later, a palace statement said discussions with Harry and Meghan were “at an early stage”. London’s Evening Standard newspaper said they had “defied clear instructions from the queen” not to go public about any future plans at this time.
