Queen's biggest wish before her death
Words: Nicki Gostin
Queen Elizabeth II never gave up hope that Prince Harry would reconcile with his family. “The Queen adored Harry right to the end, and Harry adored her,” royal author Robert Hardman said. 
“I think she was one of the conduits between Windsor and California and it would have been one of her dearest wishes that they patch things up,” Hardman said.
Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been distant from the family since they announced in January 2020 that they no longer wanted to be working royals.
Harry’s frayed relationship with his family hit a new low following the explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he claimed his father and brother, William, were “trapped” in their royal roles.

In the same interview, Markle claimed that she had contemplated suicide while pregnant with their son, Archie, due to the pressure of dealing with life as a royal and her treatment at the hands of the British media.
Royal watchers had hoped the days between the Queen’s death and her funeral would help heal fractured relationships. But several missteps seemed to have put a damper on any détente.
Harry was distraught when the military uniform he was allowed to wear to stand vigil by his grandmother’s casket had her initials removed.
The Duke and Duchess were also invited and then “uninvited” from a state reception for world leaders and foreign royals. They were also snubbed in the seating arrangement at the funeral, where they did not sit in the front row.
