Prince Harry and Meghan Markle paid a visit to Queen Elizabeth in the UK this week, before they travelled to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.
A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has confirmed that the couple spent Thursday morning, April 14, with the Queen in Windsor.
Harry and Meghan hadn’t been in the UK together since they stepped down as senior working royals in March 2020, and moved to California.
According to BAZAAR.com, Harry and Meghan also met with Prince Charles and Camilla for the first time since March 2020.
The Royal family are yet to meet the couple’s second child, Lilibet Diana, who was born last June.
Their daughter was named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet.
Their visit also marked the first time they met with the Queen since their explosive interview with Oprah last year.
The CBS special aired in March 2021, and made headlines all over the world.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a number of shocking claims about the Royal family during the interview, as they discussed their decision to step down as senior working royals.
Meghan claimed there were “concerns and conversations” within the Institution about “how dark” their son Archie’s skin might be when he was born.
Meghan refused to reveal who was having those conversations as it would be “very damaging” to them, but claimed there were “several conversations about it, with Harry.”
The Duchess also opened up about her mental health during the interview, and admitted she was suicidal during her time as a senior working member of the Royal family.
After the interview aired, Buckingham Palace addressed the couple’s claims in a shock statement.
The statement said: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extend of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.”
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.”
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members,” the statement concluded.
While Meghan hasn’t been in the UK for two years, Prince Harry has returned to his homeland on two occasions.
The Duke attended his grandfather Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021, and returned in July 2021 to unveil a statue of his late mother Princess Diana alongside his brother Prince William.
Harry and Meghan are currently in Europe to attend the fifth Invictus Games, taking place in the Dutch city of The Hague.
The international sports competition, which was founded by Prince Harry for wounded service members and veterans, will officially kick off this weekend.
