If you subscribe to the People Push, you will no longer miss anything from the world of the rich, beautiful and people who are not entirely clear why they are actually famous.

That’s how it’s done: Install the latest version of the 20-minute app. On the home screen, tap the three strips at the top right, then tap the gear. At the bottom of «Themes», slide the bar on «People» to the right – it’s already going.

On Instagram the 20-minute people team is also on the go.

In addition to the Queen (93) in the meeting at Sandringham Castle, the three princes Charles (71), William (37) and Harry. Duchess Meghan, who has already withdrawn to Canada with son Archie, is said to be added by phone. Various advisors to the royal family will also be present. The meeting should take place at 2 p.m.

These sticking points are on the royals’ agenda today:

In their statement last week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they wanted to be financially independent in the future. In doing so, they are foregoing the 2.5 million Swiss francs of taxpayers who are still entitled to them due to their position.

The situation is different with the support of Prince Charles: he has so far paid his sons part of the profit from his lands. Last year that was over six million francs. The Sussexes expect this to continue in the future. Will Harry’s dad agree today?

In any case, thanks to their resignation, Meghan and Harry have enough other ways to make money. They are now allowed to conclude advertising deals. In addition, Meghan is said to already have one Have signed a contract with Disney.

The couple have already announced on their new website that they want to keep their noble titles. The new Sussex Royal brand, which Harry and Meghan recently registered, also indicates that the two do not want to give up their royal status.

According to the Daily Mail, it is unlikely that the titles will be withdrawn against their will. The Queen’s approval will still be needed.

The Sussexes write in their statement that they want to call two countries home in the future. It is believed that the two are planning a second home in Canada. A home in Los Angeles would also be possible – but only when Donald Trump (73) is no longer the US President, according to the “Daily Mail”. How much time you will spend overseas each year will probably be one of the sticking points today.

However, according to reports from last month, Meghan is said to be applying for British citizenship. This would require that she spend no more than 90 days a year abroad.

Meghan and Harry’s English home will also be hotly debated today. They are currently living in Frogmore Cottage – owned by the Queen. They recently had it renovated for CHF 3 million at the expense of taxpayers.

According to the Daily Mail, surveys have shown that the public would not like it if they continued to live there, even if they spent a large part of their time abroad.

The toughest question today will be how far Meghan and Harry will have to fulfill their royal duties. In their letter last Wednesday, they stated that they would continue to perform their duties towards the Queen.

According to the Daily Mail, however, the family fears that it will not work if the couple keeps one foot in the British royal family and one in the normal world.

Prince Harry is said to have performed 201 royal missions last year, Meghan 83. This will decrease drastically in the future. One possibility would be that Meghan and Harry would only attend big, important events, such as the annual Trooping The Color parade.

Another hot spot: The Queen named Meghan Vice President and Harry President of her nonprofit, the Commonwealth Trust. Will the couple be able to continue these mandates? These questions are so complex that it could take several months to clarify.

State-funded security is available to the Sussexes around the clock as Royals, regardless of whether they are currently performing royal duties or on vacation. Meghan and Harry have made it clear that they continue to find this appropriate.

The security costs are around CHF 1.2 million per year. The Metropolitan Police Service has indicated that they want to continue to support the two, but cannot issue a check if the royal couple lives abroad. So a compromise is needed.
