The Queen Elizabeth II summoned family members to discuss directly about Prince Harry's decision to withdraw from the royal family.

British royal officials said Prince Harry, Prince William and Prince Charles were summoned to Sandringham, the Queen's private home today, while Princess Meghan is expected to participate in a telephone discussion from Canada. .

BBC's royal correspondent Jonny Dymond said the meeting would outline "the next step" to shape Harry - Meghan's new relationship with the royal family but is unlikely to reach a final solution. He added that there will be "many significant obstacles" that the parties need to overcome in this discussion.

Prince Charles, the Queen's eldest son, is currently in Oman at the funeral of the recently deceased King Qaboos bin Said Al Said. He would promptly return to England to attend the meeting with the Queen.

The meeting took place after Prince Harry and Princess Meghan on January 8 unexpectedly announced they would withdraw from their high-ranking royal roles to establish a new charity and live in both England and North America. They were said to not consult anyone about the decision, which made the royal family "very hurt".

Prince William yesterday shared with the Sunday Times about his sadness at the cracked relationship with his brother. "I have surrounded my brother all my life and I cannot do it anymore. We are now separate individuals," William said. "All we and I can do is try to support them, hoping that one day we will all find the same voice."

The Queen has asked the royal family to solve Harry - Meghan's problem before January 15. The meeting at her home in Norfolk County will be the first time the head of the British royal family has come face to face with Harry since he announced his intention to withdraw. The most difficult will be to discuss the financial situation of the couple Harry.

The Queen, Crown Prince Charles and Prince William and Harry are expected to consider a range of possibilities to suit the plan that Harry and Meghan had planned. If they reach an agreement in the coming days, implementation will also take time.

Harry - Meghan is preparing to launch her own charity, Sussex Royal. Last month, the couple revealed that they had applied for the Sussex Royal trademark for a range of items including books, calendars, clothing, charitable fundraising, educational and social services.
