Prince Harry spoken more to the Queen in the last year than in his entire life

by

Prince Harry insists his relationship with the Queen is better than it has ever been.

The 36-year-old says he and his grandmother have spoken more over the last year than they have in the rest of his life.

Harry gave a bombshell interview to US chat-show host Oprah Winfrey where he and wife Meghan Markle made a number of damaging claims.

But Queen Elizabeth appears to have come out of it almost unscathed.

He said his father Prince Charles ‘stopped taking my calls’ after he stepped back from Royal life in early 2020.



He says the Queen is an ally – and that they share a unique understanding

Harry said he never ‘blindsided’ the Queen about their decision to leave the UK and that they are in fact on very good terms.

They have had numerous Zoom calls since departing for California last year – and stressed things couldn’t be better.

“I’ve spoken more to my grandmother in the last year than I have done for many, many years,” he said.

“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.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their stepping back as senior working royals in January last year.

But he told Oprah when she asked about how his relationship with the Prince of Wales is now that there are bridges to build.

“There’s a lot to work through there,” Harry said.

“I feel really let down because he’s been through something similar,” he continued, perhaps referencing the death of Princess Diana.

“He knows what pain feels like. And Archie’s his grandson. But at the same time, I will always love him.

“But there’s a lot of hurt that’s happened. And I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship. But they only know what they know.”

He was later asked about the situation with brother William.

“Our relationship is ‘space’ at the moment,” he said. “And time heals all things, hopefully.”
