A statement released on behalf of the former couple revealed that the pair believe it is the "best course of action for their two children and ongoing friendship". 

"The decision to divorce and share custody came about after many months of discussions and although sad, is an amicable one," a spokesperson for the royal duo said. "The couple's first priority will remain the continued wellbeing and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla."

It has been confirmed that the former couple will share custody of their daughters, Savannah (nine) and Isla (seven).
