Harry and Meghan ‘offer olive branch’ to Queen in low-key reunion

Royal observers say get-together was welcome if long overdue move' by couple after UK exit two years ago

After the high drama of their royal exit, it was a low-key reunion behind the walls of Windsor Castle for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with the Queen on Thursday.

Prince Harry and Meghan may not have announced their visit in advance, the first by the duchess to Europe in the two years since the couple left the UK in March 2020 and unshackled themselves from formal royal life. But this would have been classed as a family occasion, like all private get-togethers", and not an official engagement, so would not have been announced in advance, according to Joe Little, the managing editor of Majesty magazine.
