What is the back story here? Is there a concern about her handlers?

It's morning here - and I'm having my coffee and catching up on the real news and also the gossip....and I've just been reading about this. So Harry is in The Netherlands for the Invictus games, Meghan went as well for the first couple of days. They are filming a documentary for Netflix and they have the crew in tow wherever they go. It's being reported (and some sources say leaked to the press) that as they are so close to the UK, Harry was "invited" (ordered) to see The Queen on this trip. The reports are that Harry had to see Charles first and some rules laid down and then he met with The Queen. The meeting with Charles (seemingly confirmed by Palace insiders) lasted only 15mins and then he had his meeting with TQ which lasted a bit longer. One set of reports say Meghan was not involved in the meeting with TQ. Now he's done and interview with Hoda Kotb: www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10731543/Prince-Harry-discuss-meeting-Queen-interview-Today-show.htmlIt hasn't aired yet but I've read that there a clip (but I've not seen it myself though so I don't know if it's accurate) where Harry says to her that he's "protecting the Queen" and he's making sure "she had the right people around her" He apparently also points out that Meghan did have "tea with The Queen" |

I seriously doubt he has any pull with those in the inner circle. |

Exactly, like the OP's astonishment, he's seriously delusional. He left, he lives in another country and he's made two very brief visits in 2 years, he didn't see his Grandfather as he was dying, nor did he attend his memorial service, yet he thinks "he's making sure she has the right people around her"?? WTF is that even? The Queen has 3 sensible & responsible children and their spouses around to support her (plus one we don't like, but who she still seems to rely on quire a bit), as well as a bunch of grown up grandchildren who all also seem have her best interests at heart. What exactly does Harry think he needs to protect her from? and based on how he's conducted his life recently and betrayed his family over and over, he's the one she should be protected from.There's also been a bunch of stories about TQ wanting H&M back for the Jubilee celebrations and that they will be on the balcony for the Trooping Of The Colour ...now that he's doing an interview and if he speaks negatively about the family again, we'll know that's all bullshit. Harry looks to have been quite moody at the Invictus Games events so I'm thinking his meetings didn't go the way he hoped. |

Not gonna lie. I almost want to tune in and see Harrys interview on CBS in the morning. Should be funny if he is claiming he is trying to protect the Queen.

Harry's a fucking loon. I won't watch the interview, but I'll be interested to hear about it from others who did.

I have a question. Do any of you have or had an elderly parent or grandparent that lived in another state or country. And this person is/was in ill health?
If so wouldn’t you be a bit concerned about the care they were getting especially if you weren’t there on a regular basis to check in on them?
From what I gathered Harry is close to his grandmother. One would have to be a dimwit if they didn’t grasp the simple fact how frail the Queen has become in a short period of time.
Harry and his family live in CA which means he can’t just pop in at any old time to check in on her.
I tracked down the snippet of the interview and listened to what he said twice.
It was a grandson reassuring himself his grandmother is being well taken care of since he is not there. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Of course you lot aren’t going to see it that way because some of you have this animosity toward the kid so no matter what he does you will find fault with it. Even if there is no fault to find.
As far as the gossip about what supposedly happened, without verifiable facts that it actually did happened it’s nothing but gossip..

It’s really sad the Invictus games are about Harry and Megan and not the athletes.

The kid? He's 38! Far from a kid. Umm, it's not just "us lot" plenty of reports and papers are taking the comment the same way and if you read the comments section of any of the reports, they are overwhelmingly negative. The majority of people can see that going on TV in an interview and publicly calling himself "protector" of the Queen when he has seen her 2-3 times in the last 2 years is a dick move. And let's not forget that he hasn't even bothered to bring her great-granddaughter over to meet her. It was a grandson reassuring himself his grandmother is being well taken care of since he is not there Sure you can twist it around to make it sound like that, but that denies the facts of the situation...which are that grandson has a HUGE family, and a significant number of them live very close to that grandmother and see her on a regular basis. That grandmother also has plenty of trusted staff who have looked after her best interests for many years and she has access to the best medical care in the UK. The idea that he has to "check" on this and doesn't already know it (when we all do) is laughable. |

And frankly, I don't necessarily believe some of the Queen's kids or grandkids (looking at you, Andrew, Charles, and William) do have her best interest at heart. |

Why would you say that Charles and William don’t have the Queen’s best interest at heart? I have seen nothing but love and loyalty from them. Are there things being reported about them that we don’t get to hear in the UK? |

If my father, uncles and aunts, brother etc were all around her as well as her trusted doctors, medical team and staff were on hand whenever she needed them then no, I wouldn't have any worries about the level of care she was getting. And lets not forget, she may be struggling with her back but this woman is no fool and as sharp as a tack and can call on or enlist any help whatsoever that she wants. |

What exactly has Charles & William done except being a very hands on son and grandson who think the world of her and is far more involved with her well being on a daily basis than Harry is or ever will be. Oddly enough we ( general we) have managed to look after her and protect her for 95 years and will continue doing so without someone popping up from thousands of miles away for 30 minutes to check up on her. He really needs to think about what he is saying before he opens his big mouth and make stupid statements like he does. He's digging that hole he's in, bigger and bigger everyday. |

If i cared so much about my grandmother... i would've been standing beside her as she lost the love of her life... i would be there to give her a big hug every time i see her sad.. she would know and love my children... He may not be able to pop in all the time... but he sure as shit could go more often then he has.... And the royals may not have embraced his marriage in the way he hoped but there is definitely fault to find... on both sides of the ocean... he is not innocent of fault |

We're talking about THE QUEEN here for god's sake not some doddery old great grandmother who is living in a little house with no one to look after her. A woman who has access to the best healthcare from the most prominent and highly trained medical staff in the country. Who has been served by staff that have been with her years and shown total loyalty to her and a large close family unit who think the world of her. A normal person would reply by saying he was pleased to see her and she was doing well considering her age not that he needed to check up on her as some knight in shining armour coming to her rescue! He's not a kid for goodness sake. He's a 37 year old man. Words have meaning and it has nothing to do with any animosity towards him. It is a simple fact that some of us, especially the Brits on this forum, who know far more about the situation surrounding the Queen and know the background of what is is referring to as being totally out of zinc to reality. Maybe he should take a few lessons from his grandmother and be far more astute and thoughtful, not to mention her diplomacy in what comes out of his mouth. . |

Pete wasn't happy was he!  But he's right about one thing - how insulting Harry's comments are to the rest of the Royal family who are close (emotionally and geographically!) to the Queen. |

Pete definitely did not hold back and generally entertainment repoters aren't so blunt about what they think, they usually sit on the fence. I think this illustrates how fed up a lot of people are by how H&M have behaved the last few years. They have been shitting all over TQ and her family and legacy and then act as if he needs to check on her. And the post about us not knowing the facts made me snort out loud, H&M woukldn't know a fact if it slapped them in the face. We do know one fact about them...they lie. |

Harry can indeed pop over at any time. He’s got the money and the time since he doesn’t have a job. His grandmother is a plane ride away. Maybe he could go to England on his own and spend some time with her.

I think you would have to have a pretty high opinion of yourself to think that you could jet in for a quick visit w/ your 96 year old grandmother who is the Queen of England and make a judgment as to the advice she is getting from those who are around her on a day to day basis. I wonder what Prince Edward and Princess Anne and the other royals who are dedicated to Queen Elizabeth think when Harry drops by for a quick visit and announces to the world that he has confirmed that the Queen is in good hands.
I also wonder what the Queen herself thinks when she reads that Harry has announced to the world that he confirmed she was getting good advice. She probably wonders how England survived WWII without Harry's sage advice.
