PRINCE Harry has revealed he was “happy” for the Queen as she lay on her deathbed as it meant she would be reunited with her beloved Prince Philip.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, said he was not invited on the plane up to Balmoral with Wills, Kate, and other Royals, even though it had “12, 14, maybe 16 seats”.

He told CBS on Sunday night: “I was not invited.”

As he described the moment he arrived at the Queen’s Scottish estate, Harry said: “I walked into the hall, and my aunt was there to greet me.

“And she asked me if I wanted to see her. I thought about it for about five seconds, thinking, ‘Is this a good idea?’

“And I was, like, ‘You know what? You can – you can do this. You – you need to say goodbye’.

“So I went upstairs, took my jacket off and walked in and just spent some time with her alone.”

Host Anderson Cooper asked: “Where was she?”

Harry answered: “She was in her bedroom.

“I was actually – I was really happy for her.

“Because she’d finished life. She’d completed life, and her husband was waiting for her. And the two of them are buried together.”

The Queen was staying at her Scottish estate when she died last September.

And Harry claimed he found out his grandmother had died online.

He relived the moment he found out about the Queen’s death in the explosive tell-all memoir, Spare.

The Prince said he spent most of the flight to Balmoral reliving the last few moments he had spoke to his grandmother.

But as he landed he went on the BBC news website where he found out the Queen had died and his father was the King.

Harry said he was welcomed to Balmoral by Princess Anne, before going to see his grandmother after she had died.

“I stayed in one place without moving, gazing at her for a long time, gathered strength and continued going forward,” he said.

The Duke then recounted how he “whispered to her that I hoped she was happy and that she was with grandpa”.

And he said he told her he “admired her for having carried out her functions to the end… the Jubilee, welcoming the new Prime Minister”.

In his explosive memoir, Harry also claimed his father told him that Meghan should not come to Balmoral.

The prince wrote: “Then my father called again. He told me I was welcome at Balmoral, but… without her.

“He started to explain his reasons, but they didn’t make any sense at all, and it was disrespectful as well. I did not tolerate it from him.

“Don’t even think about talking about my wife like that.

“Repentant, he said, stammering, that he simply didn’t want the place to be full of people. Nobody’s wife was going to go, not even Kate, he told me, so Meg shouldn’t either.”

The prince’s hugely anticipated autobiography has already elicited shock and outrage, as he makes allegations about being attacked by brother William.

In another bombshell, Harry accuses Camilla of leaking details of her conversation with William to the press.

And Harry dropped a number of bombshells in Sunday night’s ITV interview with Tom Bradby – including the claim that William and Kate did not welcome Meghan into the family.
