Royal historian Robert Hardman claims the late monarch would have hoped that her grandson Prince Harry could repair his relationship with his brother Prince William and father, King Charles III.
“The Queen adored Harry right to the end, and Harry adored her,” the author of Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II told PEOPLE.
“I think she was one of the conduits between Windsor and California, and it would have been one of her dearest wishes that they patch things up.”
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have become distant from other family members in recent years. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their senior royal roles in early 2020 and have resided in Meghan’s home state of California since.

The Queen adored Harry right to the end, and Harry adored her.
Elsewhere, royal author Katie Nicholl has claimed that the alleged feud will likely never end.
“There have been real repercussions, particularly for William,” she said in extracts from her book published by Vanity Fair.
William reportedly expected Harry to “be his wingman” throughout their adult lives.
However, the book claimed that William is still finding it difficult to “forgive” Harry’s actions.
Can the royal family mend the ‘feud’?
The book also alleged: “The brothers’ estrangement also threatens to cast a shadow over Charles’s reign and possibly William’s. Charles knows his public reputation could suffer if he is seen to be turning his back on his youngest son.”
Despite everything, it’s believed that King Charles is determined to mend the family rift.
