		</div><p>The Duchess of Sussex did not join the royal summit with the Queen and senior royals by phone and instead relied on her husband to put their case for a new independent life.</p>
<p>There has been speculation about whether Meghan, who is in Canada with baby son Archie, was able to participate in Monday’s discussions convened by the Queen at Sandringham.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>A source told the PA news agency: “In the end, the Sussexes decided that it wasn’t necessary for the duchess to join.”</p>
<p>Meghan is reportedly the driving force behind the Sussexes wish to step back as frontline royals, become financially independent and live part of the year in Canada.</p>
<p>But it appears she was happy for Harry to conduct the face-to-face talks with his family about their wishes, without her direct input.</p>
<p>After the Sandringham summit the Queen issued a statement which sanctioned the couple’s new “independent life” away from full-time royal duties and she said they would begin a transition period living in the UK and Canada.</p>

<p>The move has raised questions over the costs of the couple’s security during their time in North America and who would foot the bill.</p>
<p>Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau said the costs, and what role they will play in Canadian life, would be the subject of future discussions.</p>
<p>Asked during an interview with Global News on Monday whether Canadian taxpayers would have to pay he replied: “That is part of the reflection that needs to be had and there are discussions going on.</p>

<p>“We’re not entirely sure what the final decisions will be, what the dispositions are and those are decisions for them.</p>

<p>“I think most Canadians are very supportive of having royals be here, but how that looks and what kind of costs are involved, there are still lots of discussions to have.”</p>
<p>Harry and Meghan spent six weeks over the festive period based in the Canadian province of British Columbia staying at an exclusive property on Vancouver Island.</p>
<p>The duchess, a former actress, lived and worked in Toronto during her time starring in the popular US drama Suits, and knows the country well having lived there for seven years.</p>
<p>Mr Trudeau said the federal Canadian government had not been involved “up until this point” about what the couple’s move to the country will involve.</p>
<p>He added: “There are still a lot of decisions to be taken by the royal family, by the Sussexes themselves, as to what level of engagement they choose to have.</p>

<p>“We are obviously supportive of their reflections but have responsibilities in that as well.”</p>
<p>The Sussexes enjoyed a “general feeling of appreciation” in Canada, he added.</p>
<p>Boris Johnson has said he is “absolutely confident” the royal family can resolve the crisis around Meghan and Harry’s future roles.</p>
<p>The Prime Minister told BBC Breakfast: “My view on this is very straightforward: I am a massive fan, like most of our viewers, of the Queen and the royal family as a fantastic asset for our country.</p>
<p><!--Ads5--></p>
<p>“I’m absolutely confident that they are going to sort this out.”</p>
<p>He went on to say: “But they are going to sort it out much more easily without a running commentary from politicians.”</p>
