Queen Elizabeth once reportedly greeted a phone call from Prince Harry with a "stony silence" and the "uncomfortable" reaction was "memorable" according to one former Buckingham Palace staff member

Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith got details about Elizabeth and Harry’s alleged dynamic from the monarch’s cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson.

Queen Elizabeth bestowed Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, with the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex upon their royal wedding day, and the couple later honored her by naming their daughter Lilibet Diana in a tribute to the Queen's childhood nickname of Lilibet, used by family.
