Meghan Markle may be an ocean away from the royals, but that hasn’t stopped her from reaching out to her relatives-in-law in the wake of the family’s recent tragedy.
WATCH: Prince William and Prince Harry have one-on-one conversation at Prince Philip’s funeral
As she is currently in the late stages of pregnancy, Meghan Markle was advised not to fly to the UK for Prince Philip’s funeral.
Prince Harry thus attended the service solo. However, the Duchess still managed to honour the late Duke as she watched the funeral from home, teaming up with her husband to send a special wreath accompanied by a handwritten note.
Now, new reports have revealed that Meghan didn’t just reach out to the royals through wreaths; she also connected with the Queen herself ahead of the service.
According to a report from People, Meghan Markle and her son Archie spoke with the Queen in the lead up to Philip’s service.
“Meghan and Archie spoke with the Queen earlier this week.” the source revealed.
They also went on claim that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been in constant contact while Harry has been on UK soil.
“Meghan and Harry have been in touch every day. She knows the trip to England has been difficult for Harry. He didn’t want to leave Meghan and Archie alone. Meghan has insisted to him every day though that they are fine. She hasn’t wanted him to worry.”
While it was initially reported that Harry would be rushing home to the US to reunite with his pregnant wife, the Duke hung around longer than anticipated to engage in “peace talks” with his father and brother.
According to The Sun, after Prince Philip’s funeral, Prince Harry engaged in a two-hour chat with Prince Charles and Prince William.
The outcome of this chat remains unclear, however royal observers are hoping the discussion was more productive than last time.
However, despite prolonging his stay ever-so-slightly, Prince Harry has reportedly arrived back in the US to reunite with Meghan Markle.
While there was speculation as to whether Harry would stay in the UK to celebrate the Queen’s 95th birthday, it seems the Duke has decided to head home.
Her Majesty, however, is sadly spending the milestone mourning the great love of her life, Prince Philip.
In an emotional message, the Queen has spoken of her “great sadness” as she spends her first birthday without her husband.
“I have, on the occasion of my 95th birthday today, received many messages of good wishes, which I very much appreciate,” she began the statement.
“While as a family we are in a period of great sadness, it has been a comfort to us all to see and to hear the tributes paid to my husband.”
