Queen Elizabeth invites Prince Harry for lunch at Windsor Castle

Harry and the Queen

The Sun, citing sources, reported the Queen has "invited Prince Harry for lunch at Windsor Castle" in what will be their first private meeting since he quit the Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth

"The lunch will be a chance for them to talk things through," the Sun citing the Mail.

The invitation for lunch by Her Majesty was made before the birth of Meghan and Harry's daughter on Friday.

And this will be the first time Harry has had a sit down chat with his grandmother since he and Meghan sensationally left the UK and quit life as senior royals in 2020.

The Duke of Sussex is said to be meeting with his grandmother for a "chance to talk things through" as he flies back to the UK for the unveiling of Princess Diana's statue next month. Queen Elizabeth

Royal author Phil Dampier told the Sun, these actions were only an “opening move” and there is much work to be done.

“The relationship between the so-called former “Fab Four”- Harry, Meghan, William and Kate - is now so broken and delicate that everyone is looking for the slightest signs it is getting better…or worse.

“The discussions after Prince Philip’s funeral were a start, but were clearly very strained and only an opening move.

“Harry and Meghan now have all they want to make them happy if they are going to be.

“A son, a daughter on the way, their freedom from the royal family and the means to make money and get involved in cases which interest them.

“To carry on a war with Harry’s blood family is unnecessary and counter-productive, and the sooner they realise that the better.

“They should get on with their lives, stop playing the victim and stop playing on their royal connections by leaking stories while pleading for privacy. Queen Elizabeth
