Queen issues ‘special invitation’ to ‘isolated’ Harry and Meghan in ‘real move of unity’
The Queen has reportedly issued a “special invitation” for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have already returned to Canada. New Idea’s Zoe Burrell and royal commentator Angela Mollard discussed the “real move for unity” on their Royals podcast.
Ms Mollard told listeners: “Straight away the Queen has issued a special personal invitation for Harry and Meghan to go to Balmoral.
“And what’s more, they’ve accepted, which is quite a departure from last year.
“Last year, they didn’t go to Balmoral, they went to Elton John’s mansion in the south of France.
“They said that Archie was too young to travel and that he wasn’t ready to go up to Balmoral.”
She continued: “There was a lot of subtext about it, that they’d been falling out with the Cambridges or with other members of the Royal Family.
“I think this is very interesting, I think the Queen is working very, very hard to ensure that Harry doesn’t feel isolated.
“I think he wants to do the right thing. Remember this comes obviously not long after the Sussexes responded to the Queen banning them from using the word ‘royal’.
“There was that piece on social media saying she had no jurisdiction outside the UK to use the word ‘royal’.”
The royal commentator added: “I think there’s a real move, both from Harry and Meghan and from the Queen, to have some unity.
“Obviously, at the moment, unity is the whole flavour of what we’re supposed to be working towards.
“The fact that they’re actually going to go to Balmoral I think will be very interesting.”

Ms Mollard also said: “What will also be interesting is to see who is there at the same time.
“I think William and Kate will be there with the kids, the question is whether they overlap.
“The Queen is there for several months so it’s perfectly possible that everyone can go visit her at different times.
“You would hope that Charles and Camilla would be there. The fact is that Harry needs to catch up with his dad.”
