Prince Harry has admitted he doesn't know if he will return to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations this summer.
Harry sat down for a tell-all chat with NBC TV host Hoda Kotb, which has been broadcast today on American morning show Today.
He was asked if he planned to return to the UK for the Jubilee celebrations, which take place in June, with his wife Meghan and children Archie and Lilibet.
But he said: "I don't know yet. There's lots of things: security issues and everything else.
"So this is what I'm trying to do, trying to make it possible that, you know, I can get my kids to meet her."
The latest revelations came after a preview clip of the chat was released last night where Harry claimed he is making sure the Queen has "the right people around her" to "protect" her.
That was also shown in the interview this morning, and he said that it felt great being back with his grandmother but insisted the US was now his "home" - for the time being.
He told Hoda: "It was great, it was really nice to see her in some element of privacy, which was nice.

"I haven't had a chance to go back to the UK for a couple a years apart from those times, once for my grandfather's funeral and once for unveiling a statue of my mum.
"Being with her, it was great.
"It was just so nice to see her … She’s on great form. She's always got a great sense of humour with me and I'm just making sure she's protected and got the right people around her."
Hoda went on to tell Harry how it's common knowledge he has a habit of making the Queen laugh and asked if he was able to again.
With a smile on his face, he nodded as he responded: "Yes, I did. Both Meghan and I had tea with her and it was really nice to catch up with her."
When asked the best thing about her, he said: "Her sense of humour and her ability to see the humour in so many situations.
"We have a really special relationship, we talk about things that she can't talk about with anybody else."
The prince went on to tell Hoda how the United States now feels like his home and he praised the community in which he is currently living.
He continued: "You know, home — home for me, now, is you know, for the time being, is in the states.
"We've been welcomed with open arms and it's got such a great community up in Santa Barbara."
Harry and Meghan met the Queen at Windsor Castle last week on a secret stop-off before the Invictus Games in the Netherlands.
They also saw Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall in a closely-guarded visit to Windsor Castle.
However they did not meet Prince William, who is believed to have been on a skiing holiday in the French Alps last week with wife Kate and their three children – although they were aware of Harry and Meghan’s visit.
Senior royal sources have described the meetings as “incredibly warm and good natured” and “very cordial”.
The Duke and Duchess told Her Majesty their plan to return so the Queen can spend time with 11- month-old Lilibet and Archie, two.
A source close to the Sussexes said: “Both the Duke and Duchess are very mindful the Queen is getting older and has had health issues associated with her great age.
“They have made it clear they are certainly planning to return to see the Queen with their family in the near future.”
