Prince Harry Says He Was Told NOT to Visit the Queen After She Personally Invited Him

From Cosmopolitan

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah is far from over. New clips were shared on CBS This Morning, including footage of Prince Harry saying that the Queen is also trapped within the confines of the monarch.

Harry spoke about the Queen personally inviting them to dinner in Sandringham after Meghan and Harry stepped down from their senior royal duties. But when they landed in the U.K., Harry said he got a message from his then-private secretary telling him "the Queen is busy, she's busy all week, do not come up here."

Harry said he called the Queen directly, and that she told him she was suddenly busy that night and "the rest of the week" as well—prompting Oprah to ask if she was in control of her own schedule/life. Harry's response? "No, when you're head of the Firm, there's people around you that give you advice. And what has also made me really sad is that some of that advice has been really bad."

During the interview last night, Harry spoke fondly about his grandmother and said their relationship continues to be good—insisting that he never blindsided her. "No. I've never blindsided my grandmother I have too much respect for her," he said, adding that "I hazard a guess that [the story] probably could have come from within the institution."

He also said that his brother and father were "trapped" in the monarchy, saying re: Prince Charles "When we were in Canada I had three conversations with my grandmother and two conversations with my father before he stopped taking my calls."
