The Duke of Sussex said his grandmother, Her Majesty, had personally invited them to Sandringham for a “chat, tea, and dinner,” and to stay the night because it’s a “long drive”.
It came as they flew back from Canada for the first time since fleeing Britain for their new life – and just two days before HOAR exclusively revealed Megxit.
Harry and Meghan had been staying in Vancouver – where they spent Christmas together – as the tense details of Megxit were thrashed out with the palace.
On January 6, the Queen told the pair that the “moment they land” they should go and see her in Norfolk.
But Prince Harry claims the invitation was dramatically revoked when they arrived in the UK.
Prince Harry told the Oprah Winfrey in the new bombshell clip: “The moment we landed in the UK, I got a message from my private secretary Fiona, cutting and pasting a message from the Queen’s private secretary.
“Basically saying, please pass along to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that he cannot come to Norfolk.
“The Queen is busy. She’s busy all week.”
He went on to explain that when he called the Queen up from Frogmore Cottage, she said that she had something in her diary “that she didn’t know she had.”
Prince Harry candidly told Oprah: “I didn’t want to push because I kind of knew what was going on.”
When asked whether the Queen, as the head of the family, could just do what she wanted, the Duke responded: “When you’re head of the firm, there are people around you that give you advice.
“And what has also made me really sad is some of that advice has been really bad.”
Two days later, Harry and Meghan made a statement on Instagram on January 8 2020 announcing their decision to quit Royal life.

This is the latest allegation made against members of the Royal Family during the Sussexes’ explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
During the tell-all two-hour interview, Meghan Markle said Archie wasn’t made a prince after “concerns and conversations” about “how dark” his skin would be when he was born.
The Duchess of Sussex said there had been conversations with Prince Harry and a “family” member about their unborn son and what colour his skin would be – and “what that would mean or look like”.
But the 39-year-old declined to say who had started those conversations, saying it would be “damaging” for them.
She also revealed she had felt suicidal and “didn’t want to be alive anymore” after joining the royals.
Speaking to Oprah, Meghan said the concerns had been raised at the same time that the future parents were told Archie would not receive security as he was not a prince.
She said: “All the grandeur around this stuff is not really important to me.
“But in those months when I was pregnant, all around same time: we have in tandem he won’t be given security, a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”
Asked whether there were concerns that her child would be “too brown” and that would be a problem, Meghan said: “If that is the assumption you are making, that is a pretty safe one.”
Prince Harry confirmed he had been involved in the conversations but said he would never share the details.
Meanwhile, the Duke said that Princess Diana would have been “very angry” about how the drift from the Royal Family has panned out.
He revealed that his mother – who had her own split from the Firm when he was just a child – only ever wanted her son to be happy.
Prince Harry said during the prime-time bombshell interview with Oprah: “My mum would feel very angry about how this has panned out and very sad.
“Ultimately, all she’d ever want is for us to be happy.
“We didn’t want to turn our backs on the associations and the people we were supporting.”
Meghan Markle also likened herself to the Little Mermaid’s Ariel, saying she married a prince and lost her voice just like the Disney character.
