Prince Harry and Meghan secretly visit Queen in Windsor: Duchess sets foot on UK soil for first time in two years for 'olive branch' meeting after couple snubbed Philip's memorial on security grounds - but Lilibet and Archie stay in California

Good.
I'm pleased they're visiting the Queen.
I think Harry's a softie at heart and is probably very fond of his grandparents.

Lucca Thu 14-Apr-22 22:23:16

So. Let’s see if they got that wrong in some way. On your marks….

MawtheMerrier Thu 14-Apr-22 22:32:12

Might this be another indicator that HM is not very well or is as frail as many are finding her?

maddyone Thu 14-Apr-22 22:36:06

It could well be Maw but not necessarily.

I'm glad he's finally seen his Grandmother. It would have been a shame not to, being so close.

It was on ITV News

No great-grandchildren though, as far as we know so far.

Glad to read Harry and Meghan have visited the Queen.

Good new for the Queen and Harry. It would have been very sad if he'd never seen his grandmother again.

I still find it utterly shameful that they didn’t attend Prince Philip’s memorial service ‘because of security concerns’ yet managed to visit the Queen within any trouble.
I bet that the Queen is dreading his ‘tell all’ book due out this autumn.
Presumably she’ll never meet her little granddaughter or see Archie again either, so sad.

My mother died at age 95. She never managed to meet 3 of her great grandchildren due to distance, it happens. But a lot of nice things happened to her as they have to the queen.

Calendargirl Fri 15-Apr-22 07:08:23

And they’re off…

They’ve visited the Queen, quietly, privately, discreetly, whatever you want to call it. On their way to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands, I think.

So why all the fuss a while ago? I seem to recall many on GN wondered why this type of visit couldn’t have been made before, and the public informed about it after it had happened, which is what now seems to have happened.

Storms in teacups, all of H&M’s own making.

M&H haven't visited the Queen. Bad Harry!

Is this the fourth royal family thread on the go at the moment ? !

merlotgran Fri 15-Apr-22 07:43:52

I’m glad they have visited the Queen.

No point in any further comment.

The Queen will have been happy to see Harry. He is her grandson despite all the problems. I am glad he has visited her secretly without the media being involved till after they left.

25Avalon Fri 15-Apr-22 07:51:04

oh to have been a fly on the wall! I bet we will see plenty of this is what was said comments from royal so called close advisers flies on the wall.

Serendipity22 Fri 15-Apr-22 07:57:11

This news is wonderful. I am so thrilled that Harry came over. I like Harry, despite everything that has occurred, we have no idea what his life must be like but our Queen is his grandma and hes flown over to be with her, wonderful.

Hmm, yes, this taking place does make me look at the core reasoning and i ask myself why?.

Obviously, Royal threads are more appealing to some on GN than other threads.

Coastpath Fri 15-Apr-22 08:48:07

Only they really know what happens in their family as in all families. Every single thing we read about their relationships in the press is either second hand tittle tattle from someone with an agenda or a complete work of fiction. I remember as a child reading about royal relationships in the Sunday People (!!) It was utter tripe then and it's utter tripe now.

I hope their time together was full of love and made them all very happy.

Pleased that H & M have visited the Queen. I hope it’s not because they know something we don’t regarding her health.

Just goes to show all the fuss about the Met providing them with security was a fuss about nothing and proves they can fly under the radar when necessary.

TillyTrotter Fri 15-Apr-22 08:54:19

I’m happy for the Queen that she has been visited by Harry especially.
I’m also glad that Harry & Meghan can do something without TV camera’s, and a big hoo-ha.
