“Courtiers will have an appointment with the Queen and it’ll be three weeks hence but he can turn up at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle, walk in, say hi and get the Queen to be involved in the Invictus Games.”
He continued: “The Queen has got a soft spot for Harry because obviously the tragic nature of his mother’s death, his struggles to cope with that, his mental struggles, the fact that he’s cursed with charisma in a way.
“When I see him on royal engagements it’s very much like watching Diana kneeling down hugging kids it’s remarkable.”
Harry will soon be reuniting with the Queen again when he and wife Meghan Markle visit the UK for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The couple recently confirmed they’ll be attending the celebrations with their two children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, 11 months.
