Queen beams now Megxit deal signed off as she attends church with Prince Andrew

The Queen has been spotted beaming this morning as she took Prince Andrew to church after releasing a statement on Harry and Meghan's future yesterday night.

She arrived at St Mary the Virgin church in Hillington, Norfolk, to attend a Sunday church service.

Her Majesty was accompanied by Prince Andrew and she sported a broad smile after the tumultuous events of the last 24 hours.

The monarch stepped out of her Bentley just after Prince Andrew, who waited for his mother to head inside the chapel before following her.

The Queen was wearing a grey and white coat with a matching hat with grey and white flowers.

The church is near the royal Sandringham estate, where the Queen resides for much of winter.

Prince Andrew is believed to have remained in Sandringham for the past few weeks, the Daily Express reports.

On Christmas Day, the Duke of York was seen walking between Sandringham House and the chapel first with his daughter Princess Eugenie and then with Prince Charles.

Andrew was given permission by The Queen to "step back from public duties for the foreseeable future" following the Epstein scandal.

In a BBC interview, he claimed he met Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in a Manhattan jail, through Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of media baron Robert Maxwell.

The Queen's attendance at church this morning follows a statement by the monarch explaining what the future of Meghan and Harry will be.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement that the Sussexes will stop using their HRH titles and that the changes will take effect starting from this spring.

When Harry and Meghan announced their intention to step back from their roles as senior members of the Royal Family, they also said they want to split their time between the UK and North America.

The Duchess of Sussex is currently in Canada without her husband Harry and it is not clear when he will join her and their son Archie.
