JUST IN: In new statement, the Queen says 'we would have preferred' that Harry and Meghan stay full-time members of royal family, but that 'we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life.'
The couple's decision has captivated the nation as well as its newspaper headlines, with much speculation on what prompted their announcement. On Monday, William and Harry issued a joint statement publicly denouncing an"offensive" newspaper report about their relationship.
Harry seemed to confirm the distance between the brothers in the interview with journalist Tom Bradby in Africa when he said that he and William were on “different paths.” Despite the desire to come to a swift conclusion on the couple’s future role, there is"genuine agreement and understanding that any decisions will take time to be implemented," the palace source said.
