Prince Harry Speaks Out About His Secret Visit With Queen Elizabeth

Tensions have been high between Prince Harry and his family in the past few years. Because, you know, when you and your wife do an interview with Oprah and air the dirty laundry, things get weird. Especially when your grandmother is the Queen of England. Then there's also Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's choice to leave the royal family. It's officially been a two years since the two embarked on their journey to Los Angeles with their family, and Markle and Prince Harry went to visit Queen Elizabeth II for the first time. It turns out it wasn't as awkward as you might think.

Okay, let's be honest. You never really know what's going on with the royal family. In fact, until Markle and Prince Harry gave their sit-down interview, the world didn't know much about what was happening behind closed doors. So if there was one royal couple to tell it like it is, it would definitely be them. That makes their comments about their recent visit to see Queen Elizabeth all the more interesting. Here's what we know about Prince Harry's feelings after the visit.

It's been a big month for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Their first trip back to England brought some anxieties for the family. On top of Meghan Markle having a harsh time with the media, the couple announced in January 2022 that they didn't feel safe enough to visit England, as they weren't provided police protection now that they're out of the royal family. Apparently all is well though, because Prince Harry tells BBC that his recent visit to see his grandmother went pretty well.

Markle and Prince Harry went to visit the Queen before the Invictus Games, and they reportedly spread her well wishes while there. "She had plenty of messages for Team UK which I've already passed on to most of them," Prince Harry told the publication. "So, it was great to see her and I'm sure she would love to be here if she could."

Despite the interview and the literal family fallout, Prince Harry and his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, seem to have as good of a relationship as ever. The two have reportedly always been close, and Prince Harry doesn't seem to be the one to hold back the truth. 

He gushed about his grandmother in the CBS interview in March 2021, saying that they're closer than ever — despite the literal distance. "I've spoken more to my grandmother in the last year than I have done for many, many years," he said during the interview. "My grandmother and I have a really good relationship and an understanding. And I have a deep respect for her. She's my Colonel-in-chief, right? She always will be."

Here's to hoping this means that all is well between the family members. Because nothing is worse than having tension in the family.
