Buckingham Palace has warned the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that their decision to "step back" from the British royal family will be "complicated" and talks are still at an early stage.
But a palace spokeswoman said: "Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. In the statement the couple said: "After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
"We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. Last October, Meghan started legal proceedings against the Mail on Sunday newspaper over the publication of a private letter.
