Prince Harry says he's 'making sure Queen is protected' in latest revealing interview

Prince Harry has claimed he is making sure the Queen has "the right people around her" to "protect" her in his latest revealing interview.

The Duke of Sussex told America's the Today Show that it felt great being back with his grandmother but insisted the US was now his "home" - for the time being.

It was confirmed on Tuesday that the Duke of Sussex had sat down for an interview with America's Today show.

Harry and Meghan have made a series of bombshell claims since they walked away from the Royal Family, and Buckingham Palace will be braced for more when the full interview is aired later today.

Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry recently failed to make it over for Prince Philip's recent memorial due to security concerns and amid ongoing rumours of a rift between the Duke and his brother, Prince William, and dad, Prince Charles.

Harry was revealed to have discussed all sorts of things from the Invictus Games to life with his wife Meghan Markle, with Today Show anchor Hoda Kotb - with the interview set to air on Wednesday.

The royal was also said to have talked about his surprise visit to his grandmother, the Queen, which took place recently.

A preview clip from the two hour chat was released on Twitter on Tuesday evening, teasing what was ahead in the interview.

In the short clip, Harry told the host of his joy at being back in his grandmother's company and revelled in making her laugh.

He told the host: "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."

The host 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."

Harry, who met the monarch at Windsor Castle on a secret stop-off before the Invictus Games in the Netherlands, had also previously said it was "great to see her".

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."

The latest interview comes after Harry spoke to the BBC about his visit with the Queen, and revealed what they spoke about.

He said: "She had plenty of messages for Team UK which I've already passed on to most of them. So, it was great to see her and I'm sure she would love to be here if she could."

Harry has conducted a number of interviews in the past year after walking away from royal life.

His most explosive interview came in March last year when he and wife Meghan Markle shocked the world with a tell-all chat with Oprah Winfrey.

Any interview he has since done has seemingly struck fear into the the royals over what he might say.

At the time, Meghan spoke honestly about her mental health and said she had suicidal thoughts during her time in the royal family.

Harry also claimed he felt "let down" by dad Prince Charles and said he was cut off financially by the family after moving stateside.

Harry also has an upcoming tell-all book set for release which is eagerly anticipated and set to send further shockwaves through the royal world.

It is said the words will "shake royals to the core" as the prince reveals his true feelings about the future Queen Consort Camilla.

Prince Harry's Today show interview airs on Wednesday.
