our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is here. you described this as a clean break. is it more so than expected?” you described this as a clean break. is it more so than expected? i think it is, pretty seismic, not so much for the monarchy but for the royal family, the queen and her officials would have realised there was a need to make the separation as clear and distinct as possible. no royal duties, no public money, freeing them to end their own income, and there was a point at which they might have lost the hrh styling, for four working members of the royal family, but they have drawn back from that because they simply won't use it and i suspect there might be a feeling that maybe at some point in the future they might come back. looking at the settlement, will it work? i would suggest that in this country for the moment the jury is out and so much will depend on how they conduct themselves especially in relation to earning that income and whether they are seen to be too blata ntly and whether they are seen to be too blatantly exploiting their royal status, the

nicholas mitchell is at sandringham. she was careful to say that she supports the decision even if it is not her wish. what is your reading of the situation? i read this as a very positive statement after what the queen describes as very constructive talks. i sense that there is a lot of empathy in this statement from the queen and other members of the family towards the duke and dutch risk, and harry in particular, for the situation they find themselves in. the queen says we are entirely supportive of their wish to create a new life, she would have fared if the remainder as lawyers but they respect their wish for a more independent life and they remaina for a more independent life and they remain a valued part of my family, the queen says. all of this just five days after the sussexes issued their personal statement last wednesday evening, seeking a progressive new path. very few specifics and details about things like funding. we know that they want to seek financial independence, about the ratio of public and private

bruce white picked up on that analogy made by nicholas witchell writing... it is so disappointing to see the bbc engaging in such blatant tabloid television around this young couple. for example, making comparisons with wallis simpson is simply ludicrous. for heaven's sake, surely we're better than that. more widely, carolyn clay thought. the media are behaving like wolves tearing into a vulnerable young deer. i would have expected the bbc to have been a lot stronger in supporting harry. but from another — gossip mavens, spokesmen for the palace sycophants outraged fellow authority figures, news reporters. what are the bbc exactly when it comes to harry and meghan? time for some objectivity. and brownwyn benham felt harry and meghan stepping down should not be a lead story in a bulletin, especially on the day of iranian missile strikes in iraq and a plane crash in iran. they should be treated like any other celebrities. bushfires have been raging in australia since september, and this week the crisis developed with fires out of control across large swathes
