A rare statement issued on behalf of both brothers, just hours before a crunch family summit at Sandringham, cited their many campaigns on mental health. Prince Harry has now arrived at the Queen's private estate to face the monarch, Prince Charles and Prince William over his decision with his wife to "step back" as senior royals. The historic meeting at Sandringham will be the first time the four have met since the bombshell announcement. With the crisis coming to a head, here is how the royal drama unfolded. One of the Army's most senior former officers said he would not raise a toast to Prince Harry if he pursued commercial ventures. And a video has emerged apparently showing the Duke touting his wife Meghan for a voiceover job to Disney chairman Robert Iger at the Lion King premiere last summer.

The nominations echo those titles recognised by the Golden Globes and Bafta nominations last week, along with the criticism aimed at the latter's jury after no people of colour were nominated across all four Bafta acting categories and no women directors received recognition.
