Prince Harry reveals details of his secret meeting with the Queen: 'Meg and I had tea with her'
Prince Harry has broken his silence on his shock palace meeting with the Queen, revealing during a tell-all chat he is still "protecting" his grandmother while living abroad in the US.
The Duke of Sussex spoke about his sweet relationship with Her Majesty, what they spoke about during his recent visit and gave an update on the Queen's health during a sit-down interview with TODAY in the US.
Speaking with host Hoda Kotb, Harry, 37, said he was able to have a laugh with the Queen and his wife Meghan Markle over a pot of tea during his stopover at Windsor Castle.

"She's always got a great sense of humour with me," he said of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
When Kotb asked Harry if he made the Queen laugh, the duke replied humbly: "Yeah, I did, both Meg and I had tea with her. It was really nice to catch up with her."
"Being with her, it was great," Harry said in the interview, which was held in the Netherlands during the 2022 Invictus Games.
"It was just so nice to see her, she's on great form."
Harry said while California is "home for the time being", he assured Kotb he was still looking out for the Queen from across the Atlantic and ensures she is "protected".

"I'm just making sure that she's, you know, protected and got the right people around her," he explained.
"You know, home – home for me, now, is, you know, for the time being, in the states."
The father-of-two, who ditched royal life and moved to the US with his wife Meghan in 2020, also said he was "welcomed with open arms" back to the palace during their meeting.
