Prince Harry and Prince William presented a united front ahead of a royal crisis summit, refuting a "false story" about their relationship amid Harry and Meghan's decision to step back as senior royals.
Queen Elizabeth II convened an urgent meeting with Prince Charles, William, and Harry at Sandringham to discuss "workable solutions" for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's future roles.
The summit aims to address key issues including the couple's financial independence, royal titles, and how they will balance their new life between Britain and North America while still supporting the monarchy.
Harry and Meghan's announcement to become financially independent and launch a new charitable entity followed their struggles with intense media scrutiny, which Harry described as sometimes racist.

Thai embassies and the Department of Consular Affairs issue advisories, urging citizens to monitor local developments, follow official announcements, and register their travel details for assistance, while emphasizing that no Thais have been directly affected yet.
