Forever Loading Screen

The screen is stuck on "Joining Realm..." when attempting to join your purchased realm or any other realm on Minecraft Bedrock.

What I expected to happen:

After tapping on a realm, the loading screen would stick around for 4 to 6 seconds before showing the "Generating World..." and the "Done" message, allowing me to play on the realm.

What actually happened:

After tapping on a realm, the "Joining Realm..." screen would last for about 8 seconds before the "Loading resources..." screen appeared. This screen would last for about 1 second before switching back to the "Joining Realm..." screen.  Then, it loads forever or basically, until I lose my will to watch the screen.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch a copy of Minecraft Bedrock
2. Join a realm

Notes: 

• Other players who are allowed on my realm are able to join using other environments.
• I logged on using another account to join realms using the problematic environments and the same bug happened.
• Happening recently, appears to be a new bug.
