Prince Harry and Megan Markle have finally visited Queen Elizabeth II together for the first time in more than two years, Page Six can confirm.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reunited with the monarch just days before her 96th birthday.
They have stopped in the UK while on their way to The Hague for the Invictus Games, their spokesman told Page Six on Thursday.
The 95-year-old queen met with them at her home in Windsor Castle, along with Harry’s father, Prince Charles.
The couple flew to London Heathrow Airport from their home in California, as TMZ first reported. They left their two young children, Archie, at 2 and 10-month-old Lilibet, whom the Queen has never met in person, at home.

Sussex is believed to have spent the night at his home at Frogmore Villa in Windsor Castle, where Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie now lives with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their young son August.
“We can confirm that they have visited the duke’s grandmother, as we said earlier that she hopes to do so,” the spokesman said. “They stopped in the United Kingdom on their way to The Hague to attend the Invictus Games.”
We were told that Harry and Megan were already in the Netherlands.
Their visit to the United Kingdom came despite Harry’s security dispute with the British government, as he says his wife and children are not safe in his homeland.

While Harry visited Princess Diana Memorial last summer, he has not returned to the UK with Markle since they left the royal family in 2020 and gave his bombastic interview with Oprah Winfrey.
During this televised sitting, they made allegations, including that racist remarks had been made about the skin color of their future children.
Harry’s relationship with his 73-year-old father was also reportedly damaged after he said he felt that both he and his brother Prince William were “trapped” in their royal roles.

The Queen, who recovered from COVID-19 last month, will celebrate her 96th birthday on April 21. Her platinum anniversary will be celebrated in June.
She was suffering from mobility problems, but arrived at the memorial service for her late husband, Prince Philip, in London last month – which Harry and Markle were criticized for not attending.
The palace announced this week that the queen will not attend Easter services at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
