Prince Harry’s Relationship With Queen Elizabeth Was Reportedly ‘Badly Damaged’ By His Oprah Interview, New Book Claims

Although Prince Harry doesn’t seem to have a bad word to say about his beloved grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, a royal author believes that their relationship was “quite badly damaged by” his attitude when he married Meghan Markle in 2018, and further damaged by their infamous Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021.

According to Ingrid Seward’s new book, My Mother And I, which is released on February 15th, Prince Harry’s “high-handed attitude” at the time of his royal wedding left the late queen “dismayed.”

While the book doesn’t go into specifics, it could likely be referring to an alleged disagreement with the Queen’s dresser Angela Kelly over Meghan’s wedding tiara, which they had reportedly requested access to ahead of time for a wedding hair trial. Prince Harry also touched on this in his bombshell memoir Spare, released in January 2023, writing: “Her eyes were fire. She started having a go at me. ‘Angela, you really want to do this now? Really? Now?’ She fixed me with a look that made me shiver. I could read in her face a clear warning. This isn’t over.”
