British Royal Family News: Palace Staff Blocked Prince Harry From Seeing His Own Grandmother, Queen Elizabeth
Harry told Oprah that the Queen invited the couple to come up to Sandringham and stay for dinner after they arrived in the UK from Canada on January 6th of last year but unfortunately, that never happened.
Harry told Oprah that he received a text message from his private secretary telling him that he cannot go to Norfolk as the Queen was too busy to see him.
He told Oprah: “That announcement that we put out on the 8th January 2020, the contents of that was put in a letter to the institution, to my father, which was then shared at the end of December while we were in Canada. And to then get back on the 6th after my grandmother had said: ‘The moment you land, come up to Sandringham, would love to have a chat. Why don’t you stay for dinner because it’s going to be a long drive and you’re going to be exhausted.’”
Harry continued, “The moment we land in the UK, I got a message from my private secretary, Fiona, at the time, cutting and pasting a message from the Queen’s private secretary saying: ‘Please pass on to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, he cannot come to Norfolk. The Queen is busy, she’s busy all week.'”
Oprah asks: “After she’s just invited you?”
Harry replies: “She’d just invited me. So I rang her from Frogmore that night and said: ‘I was thinking about coming anyway but I hear you’re now busy .And she said: ‘Yes, there’s something in my diary that I didn’t know that I had.’”
Harry added that he didn’t want to push, because he knew what was actually going on behind the scenes. Oprah then asked, “But doesn’t the Queen get to do what the Queen wants to do?”
After a pause, Harry says: “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.”
