Just days earlier in January 2020, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle made the shock announcement that they were quitting down as senior royals, less than two years after their wedding.
Meghan Markle snubbed from life-changing royal meeting over 'leak fears' It was five years ago today that an unprecendented emergency meeting saw senior royals summoned to Sandringham by the late Queen.
Instead, Harry flew back to Britain from Canada alone with Meghan left some 5,000 miles away on Vancouver Island, where the couple had spent Christmas with Prince Archie.
But according to the Daily Mail's Richard Kay, there was a specific reason as to why there was no open line to Meghan in Canada.
Their decision led to a gathering between the former monarch, then-Prince Charles, Prince William and Harry, dubbed the 'Sandringham Summit'.
