Whole world is talking about it.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

They're essentially quitting the royal family.

The queen reportedly left in the dark the global reach off a global brand.

Harry Megan and bring CPAC Ari's was posed by Megan Marco Royals, who decided they no longer want to be royal live without financial help.

The shock no greater than on home soil, back gracing the front pages they've dominated since first getting together.

Hundreds of millions around the world tuned in less than two years ago towards Prince Harry.

Say, you look amazing to Meghan Markle, a divorcee, an American on the first woman of color to marry into the British royal family.

But after the brightest of days, it appear came darker ones the Duchess of Sussex alluded to in a documentary last year.

Not many people have asked if I'm okay, but it's, uh, it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes, and the answer is, wouldn't be fed.

Say no, Really?

Okay, really been a struggle?

Yes.

And as for Prince Harry, who was once so close to his brother, Prince William, a rift appear to grow.

We're brothers, we're we'll always be.

Brothers were certainly on different parts at the moment, but I will always be there for him.

And as I know you'll always be there for me.

The Royal three spent their son's first Christmas in Canada away from the Queen, and yesterday, after returning home, announced they were stepping back and spending more time in North America but apparently not clearing it with the royal family first, leaving them reportedly blindsided on hurt.

They broke the news to the world with a new website describing the role they want to carve out and how their pay for it, saying they want financial independence while they continue to use Frogmore Cottage, which was refurbished in 2018 using £2.4 million of taxpayers money, and we'll still have the publicly funded provisions off armed security by the Metropolitan Police.

Republicans say they can't simply pick and choose which parts of the palace they enjoy if they want to live five early than they need to renounce their titles, abandon all claims, all public funding and go and do their own thing.

And had they done that, I'd be standing here cheering them on and saying Well done, you.

But they have not done that.

We still want to cling onto the purse strings of the British taxpayer, and they still want to have that status that we have given them.

There were the Sanomat security, whether or no he wants it there.

He just needs because of what is born into David Beckham needs security, and he pays for himself.

On their new website, the Duke and Duchess published what was effectively a manifesto of how they're gonna deal with the media and future.

And parts of it was an attack on this and specifically British media rule correspondents for their monopoly on royal coverage.

On essentially accusing the media off, making private profit from their very public lives.

They talk specifically about the royal rotor with British media cover royal events to be distributed around the world, obviously claims they feel they've been hounded by the media, et cetera.

But in reality, there had been nothing like that.

I know what you would say.

The Royal road to system works.

I think it's given them an awful of works for has been going since the 19 fifties, and one must remember that this is an unelected institution that relies upon media publicity the public support for its life's blood.

According to branding experts, the future for the not so Royals looks very wealthy indeed, but needs to be considered.

I mean, the risks are are huge, potentially on dhe.

Obviously, you can look at all this opportunity being out there, but I think it comes down to a lot of foresight in a lot of due diligence.

You know, if they are going to go in and go into association with satin brands, businesses, whatever that may be.

But really having a proper understanding away through the supply chain the environmental credentials of those businesses.

So there is nothing that can come back on in any way, question their integrity and to prove their worth.

The company that designed the Sussex is new website is already telling the world about it.

The queen has tonight directed all four royal households to find quote workable solutions for the Duke and Duchess within days, not weeks, according to a Buckingham Palace source for Grandma Nicky, though this is possibly shutting the palace gate after the royal horses bolted for like tomorrow, reporting well.

According to a poll by YouGov tonight, 45% of the public support the Duke and Duchess is decision to step back.

A senior Royals.

Just 26% are against it.

After announcing their engagement in 2017 the couple made their first joint visit to Nottingham.

When Megan was given a rapturous welcome, many were excited by the prospect of a person of color joining the royal family.

Jane Dodge has been back to Nottingham to find out what they think.

Down on, there are flashing images from the start of her report.

Prince Harry rolling with the punches, this time at a boxing club in Nottingham.

Back in 2013 at his side, the manager an ex gang member, Marcellus bars.

But now it seems the prince is taking off the gloves and calling time.

It's a decision that's left people in the city reeling Nottingham School of Boxing was set up to try to stop young people like Raekwon from getting into trouble.

It's nice to have someone a lot higher up to see the club come into a success.

I'm watching you young kids go to the potentials, to be fair, yes, What is it meant to you?

It's great.

You're so obviously I could get back in trading on everything and you will see me in the future is what Prince Harry says.

His stepping back from his royal duties.

Marcellus Bars is hoping that won't be a knockout punch for his charity.

I was shocked, and I thought it was a very bold decision from Hurry and Megan.

I can understand why I bought, you know, with the media kind of hounding them.

I think they just want this on to be bought up very differently without the media spotlight.

But whether that's gonna work is very debatable, because they'll still be high profile on.

They'll still be media attention around Thousands lined the streets of Nottingham for the royal couple's first official visit in 2017.

Meghan Markle met some of those involved in the projects Prince Harry had made his own theme community recording studio in ST Ann's is one of his favorites.

Prince Harry has been coming here since 2013 sometimes that cameras present other times in a private capacity.

His support has proved vital for the survival of projects like this, but like the Royal family staff had no idea this was coming.

I'm sure of the implications people here didn't want to speak.

Prince Harry has also become a regular visitor at Nottingham Academy, which is instant Annan's.

For those, like Hollow Sadie McGuire, who lives in the area, his support has been vital.

It's important because it made people from sentence feel like we matter people who always a new area with that always receives bad press and has a bad reputation.

The fact that he took the interest in our community and was this activist it waas as he Wasit just made us feel like we mattered.

Are you worried those visits will now stop?

No, I don't.

I'm hopefully will continue.

He may not have mentioned the media this time around, but in the past, Prince Harry has accused the tabloid press of running a ruthless campaign against his wife, a campaign some have put down tow her race.

But some of those representations have included, for example, you know, very racially loaded headlines, you know, referring to her a straight outta Compton, most famously in the Daily Mail, Rachel Johnson talking about her exotic DNA, which is kind of colonial metaphor, this idea of Megan being an outsider in somewhere not compatible with the values off the off the the British royal family.

Those will have a very, very stroll.

Racialized element beyond subtext actually very overt racism for Raekwon, Prince Harry's support has Bean an incentive For Marcellus Bass.

The fact he married a woman of color was a sign of change.

They're both hoping the couple's decision to stand back won't mean an end to their visits and their dreams.

Jane Doe's reporting Well, how viable is Megan and how his ambition to carve out a special new way of being a modern royal.

I'm joined now by The Daily Mail's Robert Hardman, author of Queen of the World.

The Biography Off the Queen.

Thanks for coming on the program.

Robert Hartman.

So it seems that the queen has given in to their demands, as it were.

No, I don't I don't think he's given in to the demands mad.

I think more Cheese said is, Could we please get on and sort this out amicably?

Andi Certainly Privately, last night's statement came as a complete surprise to both the queen and the Prince of Wales, who are very much taking a joint lead on this on dhe.

For them.

They now they don't want to go for a punitive response to a point showing strength or in any way slapping Harry and Meghan down.

They just want to get this result.

Ultimately, this is a very sad internal family dispute on dhe.

They just want to resolve it as a family.

But judging from what the papers were saying this morning, including your own paper, I mean, there were there was really fury in the palace.

The cream was very upset that she wasn't told about this, and it's taken a remarkably short time.

If you're right to find a practical solution.

Well, I don't think they've found a solution.

And what the queen is saying is, let's get on and find a solution.

Clearly, we can't have a situation where one side or another is briefing in public happened last night.

They are there.

No, no, there's no sort of pulling back from I'm certainly not hearing today any pulling back from, uh, voices at the palace saying how unhappy they were about this.

The word shoddy has been bandied around.

Disappointed, hurt, dismayed.

That's still very much the case.

But rather than dwelling on it, Andi taking sides and, as it was, of entrenching positions and preparing to lob shells.

I think the queen and she's always be mum for sort of sensible, pragmatic consensus rather than confrontation.

I think she's decided that this is a family issue.

Let's let's just try and sort this out.

But let's do it.

Let's negotiate privately because when you negotiate in public, things get very ugly indeed.

But even the palace is always talking about a slimmed down royal family.

This is a crash diet for them.

Is that they?

This money for Megan and Harry?

They're gonna do They're NT who can possibly blame them for wanting to live their own lives like this?

Well, I look they're clearly very unhappy with the royal existence that they have at the moment Onda way that the way that they're public life impinges on them.

It's something they clearly want to change.

Many people have sympathy with that.

It's understandable that the crux of the matter is you can't be half royal.

You couldn't be part of the royal machine.

You could accept the privileges that go with it but also take the restrictions on gun elapse on Do you?

You live in a bubble or you can stand back.

I mean the next generation of dupes of Kent close to their private citizens.

No one would recognize him in the street.

You can go down that route if you want.

What you can't do is to be a transatlantic Royals who drop in, do a bit of royal stuff, but then go off to do this sort of financial independence stuff in L.

A or Toronto.

Wherever it is, it's It's not that anyone wants to stop them leading the lines they want.

It's just it's not practical.

You cut people every day where they found with very opaque.

You know what we don't.

This is a no paint line between sort of royalty and celebrities using sustainable.

It might be so into drug.

They also using the Sussex brand name very effectively on their website, which is a rather slick operation that was put together over weeks, if not months.

I mean it does seem to be is if they're having that at the moment, they might be having their cake and eating it as the prime minister would say it's famous dictum about being pro cake and pro eating.

Yes, that point just be made.

This came out of nowhere last night, but suddenly there was this website that it clearly taken months to prepare, and it's called It's Not algo or dot garbled.

Don't royal.

It's it's sussex royal dot com, and that speaks for itself.

They are going down commercial route, you know, some will say good luck to them, but it comes with caveats just briefly.

How upset are you?

You had 17 pages on this story in the Daily Mail this morning.

How upset are you that you're not going to be cut out off the royal rotor that's gone briefly?

Yeah, well, under the new terms of operation, apparently, they will be vetting those media organizations that are allowed to cover them again.

I don't I don't really see that as being sustainable.

I you know.

I mean, it's the nature of the press.

Two hold authority to recount particularly unelected authority like like monarchy.

It's what we do.

Sometimes they love what we write.

Sometimes they hate it, but I think the Duke has always talked about a ruthless campaign But to be honest, it's good and bad.

It is the nature of royal life, and I think trying to vet weed out dis obliging commentators, Let's see how it works.

But it doesn't smack to me of a of a constitutional monarchy.

And what do you say to those critics who say that your coverage in the mail off the Royal couple of Megan especially, has been tinged with racism at times?

Yeah, I've heard that today people have gone back Thio again and again to particularly unsavory headlines that I wouldn't particularly endorse from 2016 when people didn't really know who this thing, this new girl in Harry's life.

Waas.

I think if you go back over the coverage since she's been part of his life and part of the royal family is overwhelmingly positive, I just don't recognize this This idea.

I think there has been a lot of unpleasantness on social media, but I think one needs to draw a very strong difference between the two on.

I just find this extremely sad Onda.

I think most people do as well.

I think he was such a wonderful day back in May 2018 there was so much promise there the still is.
