to say that tensions have been high
between prince harry and his family over
the past few years is a serious
understatement so what did harry talk
about with his grandmother the queen on
a recent visit the answer straight ahead
after his fairy tale wedding to american
actress meghan markle prince harry and
the new duchess of sussex begin to feel
the pressures of royal life in the
spotlight from unfair media coverage to
constant comparisons to prince william
and kate middleton and the tabloids
harry and megan eventually decided to
step back from the firm to put the final
nail in the coffin the pair sat down
with oprah winfrey and really let the
skeletons out of the royal closet
confessing that racism within the family
and an unrelenting press made their
experience unbearable megan recalled the
tragic experience she faced while
pregnant telling oprah that she felt
suicidal due to the pressures she faced
from royal life in response harry shared
his fears with winfrey alluding to the
unfair treatment his mother diana also
faced from the paparazzi and public i've
got to do something for my own mental
health my wife's um and for archie's as
well because i could see where this was
headed it has officially been two years
since the two embarked on their exodus
to los angeles with their family and
ahead of the invictus games megan and
harry went to visit queen elizabeth in a
surprising move given that megan and
harry have established a reputation as a
couple that does not hold their feelings
back people have been paying attention
to their comments amid their impromptu
return to england so what has harry said
about the couple's reunion with the
queen and where do things stand between
the california-based family and the
royals across the pond ever since harry
and megan's departure from the united
kingdom significant life events have
come and gone and each time the british
public thought they'd finally visit they
simply wouldn't on top of megan 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 not working
royals perhaps that's why the couple's
uk dropped by in april 2022 is not made
out to be a big deal but rather a stop
along the way to the netherlands we are
so grateful to the netherlands for
welcoming us and for hosting the
invictus games with her 96th birthday
coming megan and harry decided to drop
by and visit queen elizabeth on their
way to the invictus games speaking to
the bbc harry shared that it was great
to see her as well as sharing that the
queen wished the team luck she had
plenty of messages for team uk which
have already passed on to most of them
so it was great to see her and i'm sure
she would love to be here if she could
harry hasn't been in the united kingdom
since july 2021 while megan hasn't
returned since their departure in 2020
per the bbc fans of the couple were
delighted to see their return and it was
especially heartwarming to hear about
harry reuniting with his grandmother
prince harry and his grandmother have
witnessed significant changes throughout
their family over the past few years and
to say that their relationship has been
put to the test is an understatement the
monarch and her grandson are said to
have shared a close bond since harry was
young and while dynamics have certainly
been challenging harry's latest visit
with elizabeth was said to have gone
very well while harry has had his fair
share of criticisms regarding the royal
family he has always gushed about his
grandmother especially in the oprah
interview in march 2021 the duke of
sussex confirmed that they are closer
than ever despite the literal distance
as a result of his move
my grandmother and i have a
really good relationship
and an understanding and i have a deep
respect for her he's my colonel in chief
right in the epilogue of finding freedom
harry and megan and the making of a
modern royal family a close source
described harry and the queen's
relationship best the source said
despite everything that has happened he
has the utmost love and respect for her
her life of duty and service is one of
the many ways in which she has inspired
him to also serve
