Prince Harry and his celebrity wife Meghan’s bombshell resignation from front-line royal duties rocked the British monarchy on Thursday, with reports suggesting Queen Elizabeth II had not been informed in advance. In a short, terse response a short time later, a palace statement said discussions with Harry and Meghan were “at an early stage”. “We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through,” the palace said. “We don’t see each other as much as we used to,” he told ITV television’s Tom Bradby, whom Harry and William have grown to trust with interviews over the years. Instead the couple will attempt to invite-only “specialist”, “grassroots”, “credible” and “young, up-and-coming” media to events.
