The Queen, 93, referred to Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38, only by their first names in a statement after today's royal summit at Sandringham, in a 'very striking' move.

The unprecedented statement came after a summit at Sandringham between the Queen and Princes Charles, William and Harry, with Meghan believed to have dialled in from Canada.

In a deeply personal statement from the Queen after crisis talks at Sandringham the couple are referred to as 'Harry and Meghan' rather than their titles the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Piers Morgan tweeted Her Majesty's statement, saying: 'BREAKING: Harry/Meghan have successfully bullied the Queen into letting them have their cake & eat it.'

The couple's spokesman insisted Meghan was not shut out of the discussion and just left it to Harry, saying: 'In the end, the Sussexes decided that it wasn't necessary for the Duchess to join'.

Buckingham Palace was expected to release a statement 'imminently' on the terms of the couple's arrangement but the discussions have stalled with officials yet to iron out several key issues.
