The Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex will meet to discuss the future at Sandringham
The source said that it continues to be the Queen's request and wish that the discussions about solutions happen at pace and are worked out within days and not weeks.
It was made clear that within the family there is agreement and understanding that any decisions will take time to be implemented - and it is not known what time the meeting will take place.Meetings between senior members of the family may take place behind closed doors, but this is the first time in recent years that the media has been openly briefed about one happening.
It can be seen as a move by the Queen to show that she is taking control of the situation after Harry and Meghan released their statement announcing their plans to step back as senior royals, become financially independent and split their time between North America and the UK.At the time the family were said to be disappointed and hurt.
Any discussions with the family about their future had been at very early stages and there have been suggestions the Queen had even asked her grandson not to go public with his intentions.It is unclear if other members of royal staff will join the meeting on Monday, but private secretaries will have been heavily involved in drawing up the agenda that the family will be talking through.
We understand it is likely that Meghan might join the meeting by telephone, dependent on what time it takes place.
