Prince Harry furious and ‘wants apology from Royals over rift’

The Queen met Prince Harry and Meghan for just 15 minutes when they returned to the UK for her Platinum Jubilee.

Their time with the monarch — who got to see the couple’s daughter Lilibet, one, for the first time — was kept “formal” by Buckingham Palace aides, The Sun reports.

Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, who were also with son Archie, three, saw the Queen at Windsor on Thursday, June 2, as the Jubilee celebrations got under way.

“It was a quick in and out job. It was all quite formal,” a source said.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

The Sun told on Tuesday how the Sussexes were banned from bringing a photographer to Windsor Castle to capture the moment The Queen met namesake Lilibet.

Until now, the recently refurbished Adelaide Cottage was understood to be the family’s first choice when they move from London to Berkshire.

But in time, The Sunday Times reports the Cambridge’s could move into “the big house,” as Prince Charles does not plan to spend as much time at Windsor Castle as the Queen when he is King.

Meanwhile, Prince Andrew could be sent away to Scotland to escape the “public gaze” after the Queen held secret talks on his future.

Her Majesty has reportedly spoke with the Duke of York and senior members of the Royal Family regarding ways the scandal-hit Prince can rebuild his life away from the attention of the public.
