Queen Elizabeth

With the imminent publication of Harry's memoir, he and Meghan might not be expecting the warmest of royal welcomes, but even the queen may ice them out, ...

While Harry and Meghan have said that they are visiting the U.K. While their spokespeople would not be drawn into actively denying they made the “no plans” comment, The Daily Beast has no reason to believe that this policy of not providing anonymous quotes is not still in effect, suggesting that they did not make the remark.

While this is not in itself a particularly lengthy meeting, the queen, who is known for her assiduous work ethic, will demand extensive briefing notes to prepare for her meeting with the new PM (likely to be right-winger Liz Truss) and would be unlikely to welcome trifling domestic distractions as she prepares to anoint the woman who might, conceivably, be her last prime minister. [Daily Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/08/15/duke-duchess-sussex-travel-uk-next-month/) made the astonishing “no plans to see the Cambridges” claim in a report published Monday evening by their royal correspondent, Victoria Ward. A source at Buckingham Palace said the “no plans” comment had not come from them either.
