Despite Prince Harry's estrangement from his royal lineage, Queen Elizabeth had a deep affection for him, as revealed by Robert Hardman in his recent book, "The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy." During an appearance on GB News, Hardman discussed the dynamics of the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and his late grandmother.
In response to queries about whether the late monarch remained upset with Harry following the infamous Oprah interview in 2021—conducted a year after he stepped down from his royal position with wife Meghan Markle—Hardman shared that the Queen "adored" Harry. He suggested that the interview might not have been something that troubled her at night.
Hardman emphasized the need to consider the Queen's perspective, pointing out the significant challenges she faced throughout her life and reign. In the grand scheme of things, the Oprah Winfrey interview wasn't a major concern for her, given the backdrop of dealing with World War II and the constant fear of her family being "wiped out" during her reign.
In comparison, the situation with Harry and Meghan didn't weigh heavily on the late monarch.
Furthermore, Prince Harry has frequently spoken about his "special relationship" with the late Queen Elizabeth II, especially in his memoir, "Spare."
