Prince Harry says Queen Elizabeth on ‘great form’, wants her to be ‘protected’
- Reflecting on his last week’s meeting with the monarch, Prince Harry told TV host Hoda Kotb that she is in ‘good spirits’ following her recent bout with Covid-19
- He also said that living in the US genuinely feels like home after being ‘welcomed with open arms’
Prince Harry said it’s been “great” to see his grandmother Queen Elizabeth again and gave an update on her health.
Speaking to “Today” show anchor Hoda Kotb from the fifth Invictus Games, an international sports competition for injured veterans and service members which he founded, Harry reflected on his visit with the British monarch at Windsor Castle.
“Being with her, it was great,” Harry said in a video clip of the interview, set to air on Wednesday. “It was just so nice to see her.”
The queen, who turns 96 on Thursday, has been experiencing mobility problems, cutting back on public duties after spending a night in hospital in October and testing positive for Covid-19. She attended a memorial service last month for her late husband Prince Philip and has continued to meet virtually with diplomats and politicians.
The queen also did not attend the Easter Sunday service at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle, a fixture in the royals’ calendar.
