The royal missed his grandmother's birthday

In latest Prince Harry news, he apparently had a power lunch in LA while his grandmother the Queen celebrated her 95th birthday in the UK.

The royal returned to England from the US this month for the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip.

He jetted back to America a few days later, on the eve of the Queen’s birthday, leaving some people wondering why he hadn’t extended his stay.

However, according to Page Six, Harry was keen to get back to his pregnant wife Meghan Markle.

He had also lined up a meeting with American philanthropist Wallis Annenberg on the Queen’s big day (April 21).
