Charles, William and Harry are set to follow the Queen’s example and call for calm on Brexit

Senior royals are set to follow the Queen’s example and call for calm on Brexit after the monarch urged people to find ‘common ground’ in a rare intervention, reports say.

The Queen stressed the importance of ‘respecting’ other views and said Britons should not lose sight of the ‘bigger picture’ during an event at the Sandringham Women’s Institute on Thursday. 

Buckingham Palace sources have now reportedly revealed the monarch has urged Charles, William and Harry to follow suit and promote compromise, the Sun reported.

Speeches and public engagements by the three royals are now allegedly being planned – but it is not yet known when and where they will take place.

The Prince of Wales could speak on the subject during his upcoming engagements in Northampton on Monday, January 28.

Charles will visit shoe firm Gaziano & Girling in Kettering before calling at the London EV Company’s manufacturing plant in Coventry.

He will then visit handmade shoe company Tricker’s as it celebrates its one hundred and ninetieth year.

An investiture ceremony – in which honourees receive their awards – will also take place at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, headed by a senior Royal.

Ministers praised the monarch for her ‘wise’ call for calm amid the bitter national row over Britain leaving the EU.

Theresa May’s spokesman echoed the Queen’s plea for Britons to find common ground. Her official spokesman said: ‘The Prime Minister’s own view is that we should always show great respect for the point of view of others.’ 

Chancellor Philip Hammond said ‘we should seek common ground and we should seek a way forward’. 

As a neutral head of state, the Queen does not often speak publicly on politics – but her words on Thursday appeared to reference the debate surrounding Brexit. 

In a speech to mark the centenary of the Sandringham Women’s Institute, she said: ‘Reflecting on a century of change, it is clear that the qualities of the WI endure.

‘The continued emphasis on patience, friendship, a strong community focus, and considering the needs of others, are as important today as they were when the group was founded all those years ago.

‘As we look for new answers in the modern age, I for one prefer the tried and tested recipes, like speaking well of each other and respecting different points of view; coming together to seek out the common ground; and never losing sight of the bigger picture.

‘To me, these approaches are timeless, and I commend them to everyone.’

The monarch also appeared to address the topic during her Christmas speech. 

She said: ‘Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding.’ 

A Palace source told the Sun last night: ‘Her Majesty would never try to influence a vote.

‘Seeking to raise the tone of public debate, urging cooperation not conflict amongst those with power and influence – that is the job of her and her family. There will be more to come in the weeks and months ahead.’
