Queen Elizabeth Doesn’t Want Prince Harry To Feel Estranged Despite Bombshell Exit, Source Says

Queen Elizabeth II doesn’t want Prince Harry to feel estranged even though he left the royal family.

There are rumors that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in conflict with the royal family after the monarch banned them from using the “Sussex Royal” brand. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fired back by saying that the Queen has no jurisdiction over the word “royal” overseas before adding that they never plan to use it anyway.

Despite the rumored rift, the Queen has made it clear that she will always be there for Prince William’s younger brother. An insider told Us Weekly that the grandmother and grandson had a heart-to-heart talk on Sunday.

“The last thing Elizabeth wants is for Harry to feel estranged from his family and she made her feelings clear about this in the meeting,” the insider said.

Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth II’s meeting marked the first time they saw each other in person since their meeting about the Sussexes’ decision to step back from their royal roles.

Another insider shared the same thing to Dan Wootton, executive editor of The Sun. The insider said that the Queen assured Prince Harry that he and Markle are always welcome in the palace.

“She made it very clear to him that he and Meghan are always able to come back if they change their minds and she will welcome them with open arms,” the source said.

“Hopefully the chat cleared the air and the way forward is looking more positive. But she wanted to make certain Harry knew there were limits and the whole set-up is subject to a review after 12 months.”

Prince Harry and Markle’s statement after the Queen banned them from using the Sussex Royal brand irked the netizens and experts. Wootton said that it was “despicable and disgusting.” He added that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should have not talked about the Queen not having the rights over the word “royal” internationally because the monarch “does own it.”

Meanwhile, royal expert Phil Dampier felt that the Sussexes were aiming at Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice when they said that there was precedent to other titled members of the royal family seeking employment outside of the institution, but they were only given a 12-month review period. He said that their statement toward the York princesses was “petulant, painful and totally unnecessary” because Prince Andrew’s daughters do not receive money from the Sovereign Grant and they don’t have police protection.
