After news broke Wednesday that royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were planning to leave their royal duties behind in favor of a move to North America, everyone eagerly awaited The Queen's response.

However, it does not seem like Queen Elizabeth II will be giving the couple her blessing anytime soon.

In a released statement from Buckingham Palace, The Queen said, "Discussions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that we will take time to work through."

While The Queen's response kept things curt and corporate sounding, the couple's reveal post had a much happier tone.

On the Royal Sussex Instagram page, Meghan and Harry explained their choice was the right move because it will allow them to spend more time with their son and on their new charity project.

The caption explained that the decision was one that had been in the works for "many months" and was backed by numerous "internal discussions."

In addition, they emphasized their continued support for The Queen and England and asked for everyone's understanding during this time.
