On his way to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands last week, Prince Harry stopped by to see his grandmother with wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Prince Harry is in Europe as a private patron of the Invictus Games, which feature 500 injured and sick military personnel and veterans from 20 countries competing in a week of adaptive sports. The event, which he founded, aims to aid recovery, support rehabilitation, and promote greater understanding of injured and ill servicemen and women. In a television interview in the United States, he said it allowed him to ensure that the monarch, 95, has “the right people around her.” “It was great to catch up with her,” he said on NBC’s Today show. The duke also used the interview in The Hague, Netherlands, to describe the United States as his “temporary” home, where he has been “welcomed with open arms.” The Duke of Cambridge described his surprise visit to see the Queen as follows: “It was wonderful to be with her. It was great to see her… she’s in great shape.” “She’s always had such a great sense of humour with me, and I’m just making sure she’s protected and has the right people around her,” he said in a preview of the full interview, which will air later in the United States. According to reports, Prince Harry and Meghan, who have not visited the UK together since they stepped down from royal duties in early 2020, also saw Prince Charles while they were at Windsor Castle. Last month, the 37-year-old did not attend a memorial service in London for his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh. He is currently involved in a legal battle with the UK government regarding his police protection in the UK. Meanwhile, the Queen, who turns 96 on Thursday, has been forced to cancel several key events in recent weeks, including a traditional Easter Sunday church service, after speaking about her mobility issues.
Royal staff accused Prince Harry of ‘breathtaking arrogance’ last night. In an extraordinary interview in which he claimed he wanted to ‘protect’ the Queen, they said his self-delusion knew ‘no bounds.’ One well-placed royal source told the Daily Mail that many people were shocked by Harry’s ‘breathtaking arrogance,’ and that his delusion knew ‘no bounds.’ “It is the Queen’s birthday, and despite a difficult year, people are working hard to make her Platinum Jubilee a memorable event that properly honours such a remarkable woman.” “She doesn’t deserve it,” they said. “I have no idea what he meant or didn’t mean by saying this, but Harry needs to think before he opens his mouth.”
