Prince Harry and Meghan keen to see Queen despite pandemic crisis

Despite their highly publicised self-isolation from royal status, Prince Harry and wife Meghan are said to be very keen to see the Queen this summer.

The couple and baby Archie are due to visit the 93-year-old monarch at Windsor Castle this summer.

But coronavirus may have scuppered the plan, The Mirror reports.

An insider told The Sun: "Harry and Meghan are still desperately hoping that they will be able to come over in the summer and spend time with the Queen.

"They are looking forward to the visit immensely and are hoping by the time of the trip, which is scheduled for around June or July, that the situation will have settled down.

"But everyone at the moment is mindful that things may have to change and that the health of the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family will be put before anything else.”

It is reported Harry and Meghan are self-isolating at their Vancouver Island home in British Columbia, Canada.

Meghan has reportedly given staff who buy food and run errands "strict hygiene protocol", including wearing latex gloves "at all times".

She is said to have whittled the number of people down to a "select few" who have direct contact to her, Harry and Archie.

Harry and Meghan, who are set to step down as royals at the end of this month, are understood to be working on an online support system for people who are "most vulnerable", including new mums battling postpartum depression.
