Prince Harry, Meghan make surprise visit to Queen
CBC ^ | April 14, 2022

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have visited Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle on their first joint visit to the U.K. since they gave up formal royal roles and moved to the U.S. more than two years ago.

The couple's office says they visited the 95-year-old Queen, Harry's grandmother, Thursday on their way to the Netherlands to attend the Invictus Games. Harry is a founder and patron of the international sports competition for wounded military veterans.

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals and moved to North America in 2020, citing the unbearable pressure of their roles and racist attitudes of the British media.

The couple, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, lost their taxpayer-funded police guard when they walked away, and Harry is suing the British government for refusing to let him pay for his own police security on his visits to the U.K. His lawyers say Harry wants to bring his children — Archie, who is almost three, and 10-month-old Lilibet — to visit his home country but that it is too risky without police protection.

Harry and Meghan are expected to attend a reception in The Hague on Friday for the Invictus Games, which run from Saturday to April 22.

The visit to the Queen came on Maundy Thursday, a day in the week before Easter that the Queen for decades marked by distributing silver coins known as "Maundy money" to pensioners at a church service. This year, the Queen, who has been experiencing mobility issues in recent months and came down with COVID-19 in February, did not attend. She was represented by her eldest son, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla.

The monarch also is expected to miss the Royal Family's Easter Sunday church service. She has continued to perform royal duties, including virtual audiences with politicians and diplomats.

Great-grand kids are part of a power struggle. Selfless parents would get over it.

Little Harry and the Meghan Imperial sing,
Take Me Back, I’m Begging Please,
Take Me Back, I’m on my knees.

Probably not. The Queen seems well enough when her virtual audiences appear in the news. The grifters know that no one gives a fig about them without his connection to the royal family, so this was probably yet another PR exercise for them. Today (Good Friday) would have been a more appropriate day for Judas Iscariot Mountbatten-Windsor to visit the family he betrayed.

pretty sure Harry was spoiled rotten- I am sick to death of folks making excuses “because his mother died when he was so young,” blahblahblah.- and Meghan is driving this car anyhow.
2 low class brats imho.

That was my first thought. She’s in her final days and this was probably his goodbye visit.

Maybe but Harry and Megs need content for their Netflix series. Only thing that got them the deal in the first place was Harry being a (WASP) Royal willing to throw his family under the bus. But that access has been cut. They skipped the Prince Phillip memorial knowing they’d be treated as if they had the plague. Who’d want to say anything to those two knowing they’d leak every conversation with their own spin on it? How long before Megan favorable “insider knowledge” of the meeting with the Queen leaks?

A couple of millennial morons visit their grandmother on Easter Weekend. But they cannot be bothered to stay for dinner.

With the econimic pressure put on Russian oligarchs lately, they are probably homeless and need a place to crash.

It should be easy enough to get content. Just film themselves in L.A. Kardistans are doing that.

She’s in a wheelchair and very frail. Likely not long for this world. Harry probably wants to see her one last time.
