Speaking on American programme, the Today Show, Harry said: “Being with her it was great.

“It was just so nice to see her, she’s on great form.

“She’s always got a great sense of humour with me.

“I’m just making sure that she’s protected and got the right people around her.”

The duke added: “Both Meghan and I had tea with her, so it was really nice to catch up with her.”

However, royal experts have criticised Harry’s comments about wanting to ‘protect’ the Queen.

One commentator called it an “insult” to the Royal Family.

Royal author Angela Levin wrote on Twitter: “In 15 mins Harry felt he made sure the Queen is ‘protected and has the right people around her’.

“His comment on US TV is a gross insult to all the royal family, the royal doctors and all the aides around HM.

“His arrogance knows no bounds.”

Meanwhile, Robert Jobson told GB News on Wednesday: “I think actions speak louder than words.

“Prince Charles has been stepping up and supporting his mother.

“All of her children, and daughters-in-law Countess of Wessex and Camilla, have been there behind the scenes as has Prince William.

“So I think for him to waltz in, leaving his Netflix crew at the door and talk about protecting his grandmother is slightly bizarre.”
