HEARTBROKEN QUEEN 'PLEASE STOP THIS HARRY!'

INSIDE THEIR TWO-HOUR REUNION AT WINDSOR CASTLE

- 

In the year that's passed since Prince Harry was last home in the UK, relations with his family had, somehow, managed to reach new lows.

After Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021, Harry managed to raise the royals' ire even further by naming his daughter after the Queen, reportedly without permission, and announcing he's writing a tell-all book.

Understandably, it was with some trepidation then that Harry, 37, approached Windsor Castle for a meeting with the Queen earlier this month. En route to the Netherlands for his Invictus Games, his wife Meghan clutched his hand for support.

"The tension melted away as soon as they saw each other," says a source. "They were so relieved to have some time alone to talk.

"It was supposed to be a quick catch-up so as not to overtax the Queen, who is still recovering from illness and mobility issues, but she insisted Harry and Meghan stay longer. The Sussexes spent two hours with her.

"There were tears. Harry was emotional about how frail she's become in the year since he's seen her."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Queen privately before heading to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.

A separate palace source says the Queen "wasn't interested in berating him she was keen to move forward".
