"Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family," read her statement. My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family."It continued: "Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives. It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK. These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days."[video_embed id='1875131']The Queen agrees to a 'period of transition' following Meghan and Harry's announcement[/video_embed]The ultimate goal is to see if Harry and Meghan's potential working model is doable for everyone, particularly the institution, and while things won't be resolved overnight it looks like they're all aiming to figure this all out sooner rather than later.

You know when casts of TV shows say they're best friends with their fellow actors? Sometimes it's doubtful but it's clear that Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer truly do still love each other. Friends may have ended in 2004 but these six's friendship won't. Plus, with a reunion special in the works, it only gives us one more Friends-y thing for fans to look forward to. Until the next Instagram post!
Earlier that same day, it was announced that Mark-Paul Gosselaar would be reprising his role as Zack Morris, though whether he'll shave off his real-life beard or he'll revert to his preppy days remains to be seen. A scruffy Zack? Yes, please.
The presentation was amazing, as she thanked her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, and husband Alexis Ohanian for being so patient with her. "It's a lot, I'm a lot," she laughed. After giving a shoutout to daughter Olympia, Serena then announced she would be donating her $43,000 prize money to Australia and the wildfire relief.A first title in three years for @serenawilliams !
