Buckingham Palace recently announced that Queen Elizabeth II won’t be attending the COP26 conference in Glasgow next week, and this coupled with her recent night in hospital has seen fears for her health grow among members of the British public. Prince Harry, 37, is known to be extremely fond of his grandmother, however, since his US move last year alongside his wife Meghan Markle, 40, there has been no trip to the UK made by the couple and their two children.

       A source for US Weekly claimed Harry still “feels guilty about not saying goodbye” in person to Prince Philip, who died aged 99 in April.

       According to the source California-based Harry “would never forgive himself if the same thing happened with his beloved grandmother.”

       They said: “[He is] hoping to go back home for Christmas with Meghan, if not before so that she can finally get to meet [her great granddaughter] Lilibet and see [great grandson] Archie again.”

       However, the actions of Meghan and Harry have been criticised by some royal fans who claim the couple has “no excuse” for not returning to the UK sooner to see the 95-year-old monarch, who celebrates her platinum jubilee next year.

       Twitter user @leonora_loves wrote: “I think what is the most sad thing of all is that our beloved Queen hasn’t seen her great grandson Archie since he was 9months old & she’s never met her youngest great grandchild Lilibet.

       “H&M have access to nannies & private jets - there is no excuse. Utterly despicable & selfish”

       While @LL18again claimed that the UK return over the festive season would be means of the Duke “easing his conscience”.

       They wrote: “To ease his conscience no doubt. Should have done it sooner, without MM”
