The world waited in anticipation yesterday as Prince Harry, his father Charles and

brother William arrived at Sandringham to meet the Queen.


The unprecedented 'Megxit' summit was so top-secret not even Meghan herself
was allowed to join on a video call from Canada for fear the line would be hacked.
But despite Her Majesty's official statement that she hopes to come to a final
decision 'in the coming days', royal commentators remain unconvinced things will
be sorted that quickly.

While the Mirror's Russell Myers claims the Queen is the one in charge, showing
great leadership in the graceful way she dealt with the heartbreaking reality of her
grandson stepping down, Phil Dampier wrote in the Express that Harry and
Meghan 'have won'.

Meanwhile royal press photographer Arthur Edwards believe the Duke of Sussex
may even 'change his mind'.

Here MailOnline brings you a round-up of what Britain's newspaper columnists


made of the historic showdown between Prince Harry and his grandmother.

PHIL DAMPIER, Daily Express: 'Make no mistake it means only one thing – Harry
and Meghan have won!'

'Make no mistake it means only one thing – Harry and Meghan have won! I can't believe
this would have happened if Prince Philip was 20 years younger and still actively head of
the family.

'The Queen hates loose ends and will want this resolved quickly, but I'm sure she is
absolutely heartbroken. She adores Harry and will be devastated by this.

'They metaphorically held a gun to her head and she has given in. She may say she fully
supports their desire to create a new life, but we all know the opposite is probably true.

'In the long term I hope Harry knows what he's doing. If, God forbid, his marriage doesn't
work out, I'm not sure the British public will welcome him back with open arms.'
