“‘What sort of weather should I pack for?’ she asked. According to one source, she did not know where they were going until the plane – a private jet, not Air Canada, as claimed by [the book] Finding Freedom – was in the air. Meanwhile, staff had been growing increasingly suspicious about the couple’s long-term intentions.”<\/p>\n
Low disclosed that palace employees were already becoming skeptical that Harry and Meghan might permanently move to America, until Meghan revealed to one of her staff members that they wouldn’t be returning.<\/p>\n

On January 8, 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent shockwaves around the globe when they announced their intention to step back from their roles as senior working royals.<\/p>\n
Just five days later, on January 13, a royal assembly was convened at Sandringham to discuss the situation, an event now known as the Sandringham Summit, presided over by the late Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n
The late monarch, King Charles, Prince William and Harry were all present at the meeting, but Meghan was absent. At the time, it was reported that the Sussexes didn’t believe it was “necessary for the duchess to join”.”<\/p>\n
Following the summit, the Queen released a statement saying, “Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family. My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family.<\/p>\n
“Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
