Queen Elizabeth II has summoned her grandson Prince Harry for a crisis meeting to discuss future arrangements for him and his wife, Meghan, following the couple¡¯s shock announcement that they want to step back from royal duties.

Harry¡¯s father, Prince Charles, heir to the throne, and his elder brother, Prince William, will also attend the meeting, due to take place on Monday at the queen¡¯s Sandringham estate in Norfolk, eastern England, a Buckingham Palace source said.

Meghan, an American former TV actress, will try to join via telephone from Canada, where she returned earlier last week to rejoin the couple¡¯s baby son, Archie.
