Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released the news that they called the Queen on her birthday – despite saying they wanted to keep their personal life private just days ago.

However, on Tuesday, the couple leaked the news that they made a private video call to Queen Elizabeth, to celebrate her 94th birthday.
According to reports, the couple video called the Monarch from their new LA home, and they had their son Archie on screen.

Meanwhile, Meghan will face a court battle this Friday via video conference, as she continues legal action against the Mail on Sunday for publishing a letter she wrote to her father in confidence.
As the court case begins, text messages between Meghan and Harry and her father Thomas Markle were released.
