经过为期一周的皇家内部讨论，英国当地时间1月18日，伊丽莎白女王发表了如下声明：

“经过几个月的交谈和讨论，我很高兴和家人一起，为我的孙子和他的家庭成员找到一条具有建设性的发展道路。”（Following many months of conversations and more recent discussions, I am pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family.）

“哈里，梅根和阿奇将永远是我家人的挚爱。”（Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family.）

“我认识到他们在过去两年的王室工作中所经历的挑战，并支持他们对更加独立生活的愿望。”（I recognise the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years and support their wish for a more independent life.）

“我要感谢他们在这个国家，英联邦和其他地方所做的一切努力，特别为梅根如此迅速地成为这个家庭中的一员而感到骄傲。”（I want to thank them for all their dedicated work across this country, the Commonwealth and beyond, and am particularly proud of how Meghan has so quickly become one of the family.）

“我和我的家人都希望，今天的协议能让他们开始过上一个幸福和平的新生活。”（It is my whole family's hope that today's agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful new life.）


随后，白金汉宫又发表了一份声明，给出了这个家庭会议最终的商讨结果：

“苏塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人，感谢女王陛下和英国王室对他们新生活的持续支持。”（The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are grateful to Her Majesty and the Royal Family for their ongoing support as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.）

“正如最新协议中商定的那样，他们明白必须放弃自己的王室职责，包括正式的军事任命。”（As agreed in this new arrangement, they understand that they are required to step back from royal duties, including official military appointments.）

“他们将不再接受用于王室职位的各种公用资金，在女王的祝福下，苏塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人将继续保持他们私人赞助和相关协会职务。”（They will no longer receive public funds for royal duties. With the Queen's blessing, the Sussexes will continue to maintain their private patronages and associations.）

“虽然他们不能在正式代表女王，但是苏塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人已经明确表示，他们所做的一切将继续维护女王陛下的价值观。”（While they can no longer formally represent the Queen, the Sussexes have made clear that everything they do will continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty.）

“苏塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人将不再使用他们的HRH头衔，因为他们不再是王室工作人员。苏塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人都希望可以偿还，由纳税人支付的装修弗罗格莫尔别墅的费用，该别墅将继续是他们在英国的家。”（The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared their wish to repay Sovereign Grant expenditure for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage, which will remain their UK family home.）

“白金汉宫对苏塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人的安保问题不予评论，将会有一套独立的程序，来确保纳税人的资金被合理利用。”（Buckingham Palace does not comment on the details of security arrangements. There are well established independent processes to determine the need for publicly funded security. ）

“最新模式将于2020年春季正式生效。”（This new model will take effect in the Spring of 2020.）
