Good morning 7 and welcome to the bbc news at 9. Senior members of the royal family are said to be hurt, after the duke and duchess of sussex announced that theyre stepping back from their royal roles. Harry and meghans decision is believed to have shocked the royal family, with reports the couple didnt consult the queen or Prince William. In a statement, the sussexes said Buckingham Palace responded with a statement saying our royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell reports. Theyd had a six week break and theyd clearly been considering their future. Back in london on tuesday, during a visit to canada house, harry and meghan seemed settled, yet they were about to spring a major surprise on the wider world and even on their own family. They did not consult the queen, the prince of wales or Prince William before issuing their personal statement welcome to the canada gallery. The statement leaves many questions unanswered. What is a progressive new role . How do they intend to become financially independent . Only one real detail was given. They will henceforth, they said, balance their time between the United Kingdom and north america. Buckingham palace issued a terse statement, saying the clearest indication there can be that they think sussexes have not thought this through. At the same time it was being made clear that senior members of the royal family, including the queen and harrys father and brother, felt disappointed and hurt with the way in which the sussexes had behaved. The signs that the couple were unhappy with their royal life have been apparent for some months, notably during and since their tour of southern africa. My british friend said to me, im sure hes great but you shouldnt do it because the british tabloids will destroy your life. And i very naively, im american, we dont have that there, what are you talking about . Its all a far cry from their wedding 20 months ago when a british prince married his amercian bride. They brought a freshness to the royal family and seemed to engage with a new audience. Now, some at least of those hopes have been dashed. For a royal family which is looking more and more to the core group of younger members, the partial withdrawal of the sussexes is a setback and coming so soon after the controversies around another second son, Prince Andrew, it is, as officials have indicated, a disappointment. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. Sarah campbell is at Buckingham Palace for us now. Good morning to you. This is extraordinary by royal standards, isnt it, almost an airing of laundry in public . I think that is right. I think if you have watched prince harry and meghan over the last few months, listen to those interviews you heard there in that package, it was clear there were issues. So the fact that they might have been looking for a different way of working, the fact that they we re way of working, the fact that they were unhappy shouldnt come as a surprise to anyone. But i think initially, when we are talking about it today certainly, its the manner in which they have gone about this announcement which really seem so shocking, really. That is what many of the headlines in newspapers are talking about today, the fact it has because the queen, Prince Charles, senior members of the royal family, hurt. Because although our understanding is they were aware a week ago prince harry and meghan we re week ago prince harry and meghan were planning a move of this, it is oui were planning a move of this, it is our understanding that it was in early stages and that was the understanding at Buckingham Palace. Then this statement dropped at 6 33pm yesterday evening, which showed harry and meghan were in a very different headspace and that has what caused the problems. And there are so many questions about how the couple would make this progressive new role at work. There are so many questions and questions to which we really havent got a nswe rs questions to which we really havent got answers for at the moment. They talked about the fact that they want to be financially independent. They say was continuing to honour and support the queen. Now, interestingly they also launched yesterday a new website, sussex royal dot com. If you look at that website, there are some detailed a nswe is website, there are some detailed a nswers to website, there are some detailed answers to some of those questions. They talk about things like they value the ability to work leek and a professional income. Does that mean they want to go and getjobs . Perhaps, yes. We knew they would launch a Charitable Foundation this year, thats not part of their plans. They plan to balance their time between the uk and north america, possibly canada. This is where they have spent the last six weeks mulling these thoughts over in their heads. Will they continue to live at Frogmore Cottage . The cottage in the grounds of Windsor Great Park which was given to them by the queen for their use. They said they would like to continue having Frogmore Cottage as the uk base. Then there is a question, if you are not a working royal, will you are not a working royal, will you be expected to pay rent . So money is a huge issue which people will be asking questions. They get money from the sovereign grant at the moment and are also fronted by, the moment and are also fronted by, the majority of their expenses are funded by the prince of waless private income, the duchy of state. That has to be ironed out as well because not many commentators speaking this morning and saying they dont see how this half in, half in being a royal, honouring the queen and helping her doing her work whilst also being this global ambassadorfor their own whilst also being this global ambassador for their own personal charities, how is that going to work . It hasnt been tried before. People commentating saying today they can just see it as a very, very difficult thing. In the Statement Released by Buckingham Palace last night, and a statement that was very terse, Buckingham Palace said, we understand their desire to take a different approach but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through. I should say, they are getting a lot of support, particularly on social media. They have a lot of support around the world. They have a huge global fan base. A lot of people saying they are base. A lot of people saying they a re really base. A lot of people saying they are really pleased that prince harry has taken this step and meghan, and they were clearly unhappy with their roles. But among the country to that, from the royal family, all that, from the royal family, all that global interests, the fact they brought a different face to the royal family at the royal family we re royal family at the royal family were hoping to harness that star power, that clearly looks like it will be less likely to happen now. So so many more questions to answer. 0k, sarah, thank you. Sarah campbell at Buckingham Palace. The couple have said they intend to become financially indpendent and have outlined where their funding has come from until now. The sovereign grant covers just five percent of costs for the duke and duchess, 95 of the funding comes from income allocated by hrh the prince of wales, generated through the duchy of cornwall. Dan wootton broke the news of harry and meghan spending more time in canada yestersay on the front page of the sun. He joins us live on the line now. A big scoop for you. Congratulations, and with this statement absolutely bearing out what you are writing about yesterday, what is your take on how the couple are going to make this plan of theirs work . Well, its going to be a lot more difficult for them now, because of the fact that they did rush the statement out when we broke the story yesterday in the sun. The plan was for there to be many weeks of discussion with the queen, Prince Charles, senior members of the royal family. But harry and meghan like to own their own narrative and so for them it was important to rush the announcement. However, that has gone down like a bombshell among the royal family, the queen deeply disappointed. Im told Prince Charles and Prince William are incandescent with rage. That is not the usual type of thing you hear from that is not the usual type of thing you hearfrom senior members that is not the usual type of thing you hear from senior members of the royal family. In my story yesterday, idid point royal family. In my story yesterday, i did point out that one of the long options would be for prince harry and meghan relinquishing or being stripped of their hrh title. You have to think that that is a stronger possibility today after the way they have chosen to handle this announcement. Always interesting to get your take on that. That was one of the questions i was going to ask you, about their titles. Talks come as you say, were going on about the future of the suffixes and their role but clearly they have decided ata role but clearly they have decided at a much earlier stage than the rest of the royal family were hoping, make this announcement. What does it say about the relationship currently between meghan and harry and senior members of the royal family . Its incredibly bad. There isa family . Its incredibly bad. There is a civil war going on amongst the royal family. For a long time, people have tried to tell reporters like me who have been on the story for a long time, you are exaggerating, things are not that bad, surely Prince William and harry are getting on. The reality is, there is a civil war right now, this has now exploded into the open, so how do they deal with it, what is the next step . There are so many basic questions that are not a nswered basic questions that are not answered right now. Will they stay in Frogmore Cottage . Harry and meghan say they will be but that is up meghan say they will be but that is up to the queen, she owns it. The public just renovated it up to the queen, she owns it. The publicjust renovated it to the tune of £3 million. What about their security . Who will pay for that . Will it bejustin trudeau and canada who have to foot that bill orwell harry and meghan harry and meghan expect the queen to van that . So many questions, and again i reported in the sun this morning, they want to start taking on commercial deals. Again, there is a reason why members of the royal family dont take on commercial deals, because as youve seen with Prince Andrew how difficult that can get. So lots of questions. Right now, there are no a nswe is questions. Right now, there are no a nswers for questions. Right now, there are no answers for any of them. So much of this is absolutely uncharted when it comes to the royal family. Harry maybe six in line to the throne but he and his wife had star power, which is Sarah Campbell mentioned, the royal family certainly had hoped to continue to harness. Im sure they wont want to lose that, but if harry and meghan are not in the uk has a permanent presence of permanent presence, what does that do to that plan . Well, exactly, it throws that plan into turmoil. What is particularly interesting, in their statement, harry and meghan only point to north america but i revealed yesterday that the plan is very much for them to make their permanent base, at least for a decent proportion of the year, canada. The thinking there is it is a commonwealth country, so harry and meghan can keep on doing the work on behalf of the queen or the commonwealth. That is a bit more palatable than having them swanning around full time in hollywood, but it is still going to cause quite a lot of eruptions. I think the British Public. Meghan and harry might have a lot of support on social media but i dont necessarily think the British Public are so on board with the idea of funding this couple and keeping the part of the royal family when they are not going to be living full time in the uk. Just a final thought, dan, clearly meghan, the duchess is a very accomplished woman. Harry has set up the invictus games, hugely successful as well. Clearly this is a couple who feel they can strike out, present a new face of the royal family, a very modern face of the royal family, perhaps not one that anyone has been used to because of the protocol that surrounds the royal family but if you look on the flip side of this, you have the detractors that some might say this could be exactly what the royal family needs . Absolutely. And i believe that the model that harry and meghan are going for is one that is much more based on barack and Michelle Obama or oprah or bill, hillary and chelsea clinton. They are the models they are looking towards. One thing that hasnt been mentioned is prince harry already has a big tv deal in place with apple, which Oprah Winfrey helped him secure, looking at the issue of mental health. Does this new deal means that prince harry can be paid millions and millions of pounds by apple to make that show . Previously, under a previous arrangement, he wouldnt have been able to. Potentially this new arrangement means that he might. Tim cook of apple might now be playing for harry and meghan for tv shows in the same way he pays Reese Witherspoon and jennifer aniston. Interesting to see how this all evolves. Damn, thank you very much. The foreign secretary, dominic raab, says talks in washington with his us counterpart about how to deal with iran have been positive and constructive. The meeting with secretary of state mike pompeo came after tehran fired missiles at air bases housing american troops in iraq. The attack was in retaliation for the killing of the top Iranian Military commander, general soleimani. Heres our north america correspondent, peter bowes. Another tense night. Foreign government buildings, including the us embassy, are based in baghdads green zone, where several rockets fell. The Iraqi Military said there are no casualties. On tuesday night, the pentagon says iran launched 16 short range Ballistic Missiles against two us bases. Again, there were no casualties. But it was a gesture of retaliation that met with strong support on the streets of tehran. Donald trumps response was measured. He suggested iran was standing down and that americans should be grateful. But iran and the us are still locked in intense stand off. The question is what happens next . In washington, the British Foreign secretary met with his us counterpart to discuss the ongoing crisis. We are absolutely committed, as our american and European Partners are, to avoiding iran acquiring a nuclear weapon. Weve obviously been committed to thejcpoa but weve reached a point where noncompliance has been so acute in the most recent steps taken by iran that obviously we are going to be looking very hard at what should happen next. Ever since the killing of the iranian general, qasem soleimani, there have been questions about the trump administrations claim that there was an imminent threat to the united states. Us senators have now been briefed about the intelligence that led to the attack. I am convinced that had Decisive Action not been taken, we could very well be standing here today talking about the death of dozens, if not hundreds, of americans at the hands of shia militias working as proxies for the iranian regime. Democrats in the house of representatives plan to vote on a resolution designed to curb the president s military actions against iran. The International Rhetoric may have softened, but mr trump still faces strong opposition at home. Peter bowes, bbc news. Drjulie norman is lecturer and researcher on middle east politics at University College london and joins me now. Thank you forjoining us. America says it is ready to negotiate, engage in serious negotiations with iran. Those are positive words but they are just words at this stage and translating that into action will be a difficultjob, isnt it . That is exactly it. It welcomed words, especially after the rhetoric we heard from trump in recent days, which looked towards a military escalation. There is some relief for this of course but as you said, this is just words and its coming just after trump spoke yesterday after pushing how such sanctions are not iran. Doubling down on backing out of the nuclear deal and pushing other states to do the same. This is not the time to be expecting much to come from negotiations with that other kind of messaging coming from the white house. As security editor made the point earlier today that in terms of the retaliatory action weve seen from iran, that is just the end of the overt action. He wouldnt be surprised if we have now proxy action carried out on behalf of iran by other actors in the region . That is certainly one of the concerns. Right now, this does seem to be the official response from iran but we know there are a number of allied militia groups around the region who even unsanctioned may carry out certain kinds of attacks, certain kinds of missed locations and that could spiral things. This conflict is still very tense and even though things had seemed to pause for the moment, the way that iran is operating in the region, the way the uss impact has been in iran, will be impactfulfor a while. Europe is sandwiched i
