The royal family recently mourned the loss of Queen Elizabeth II with a large state funeral, which was a rare instance of the family coming together, as all four of the late monarch's children, as well as all eight of her grandchildren, were in attendance. Even Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were a long way from home, but it makes sense the pair showed up, given that the Duke of Sussex reportedly always had a close relationship with his grandmother.
In a recent interview with People, royal expert and historian Robert Hardman said that up until Queen Elizabeth's passing on September 8, 2022, she “adored Harry right to the end, and Harry adored her.” The author of Queen of Our Times: The Life of Queen Elizabeth II added, “I think she was one of the conduits between Windsor and California, and it would have been one of her dearest wishes that [the family] patch things up.”
