Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and baby Archie have held a video call with the Queen to wish her a happy birthday - just days after a 'vague discussion' with her of their plans to boycott Britain's most popular newspapers.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are thousands of miles away living in Los Angeles after quitting as working royals, spoke with the monarch, who is marking the occasion at Windsor Castle, away from her family, while the country is in lockdown.
Archie, who turns one in a fortnight, was with his parents as they delivered their birthday wishes.
With the Sussexes eight hours behind because of the time difference between the west coast of America and the UK, they contacted the Queen later in the day.
Reports yesterday said the Queen was due to have a Zoom call with the royal family together, but today the Palace refused to confirm who was on the call and added that any calls between the family would be 'private'.
A source told The Times that Prince Harry called the Queen from his new home in Los Angeles at the weekend to discuss his plans - but 'did not go into specific details'.
Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Charles led tributes to Her Majesty today, as the now 94-year-old celebrates an unconventional birthday in lockdown.
