A drained Prince William today surfaced for the first time since the Queen

allowed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to quit as senior Royals at yesterday's
Sandringham crisis summit.

The Duke of Cambridge headed out on the school run in London this morning
as he comes to terms with his younger brother's agreed emigration to Canada
and claims of a deep rift between the two siblings and their spouses.

William and Harry's relationship is feared to be at an all-time low following a

series of furious rows including a bust up before a polo event in July last year
- while Kate and Meghan are also said to have had words after the Duchess of
Sussex reportedly 'b*****ed' Kensington Palace staff before Christmas 2018.

But the Duke of Sussex is said to believe that his brother and his wife Kate
'never gave Meghan a chance' in the 20 months since their married with his wife
said to have told him over Christmas in Vancouver: 'It's not working for me' -
hastening their decision to quit as senior royals.

After yesterday's family meeting at Sandringham, Her Majesty released a

historic and emotionally-charged statement regretting the Duke and Duchess of
Sussex's decision to split their time between Canada and the UK as they wind
down their Royal duties.

The 'big four' Windsors are not expected to meet again in person but will be
consulted by phone as their private secretaries thrash out a deal over Harry and
Meghan's titles, royal duties, funding and living arrangements in Canada and the
UK as well as who will pay to protect them and Archie.

Sir Edward Young for the Queen, Clive Alderton for Charles, Simon Case for
William and Fiona Mcilwham for Harry have been ordered by Her Majesty to get
a deal done within days.
