THE Queen often pops over to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as she attempts to unite the family and keep them within the royal fold, an insider has claimed.
The monarch is said to be quietly helping the Duke and Duchess of Sussex cope with the pressures of royal life.
According to the Daily Express, the 93-year-old frequently visits Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, as well as six-month-old Archie, driving herself overto Frogmore Cottage when she's at Windsor Castle.
The Queen is also said to have given the Sussex's her ‘support’ to spend Christmas with Meghan’s mum, Doria Ragland.
The insider said: “The Duke and Duchess see a lot of the Queen as they now live at Windsor.
“That's why they didn't go to Scotland this summer and why
the Queen is supportive of their decision about Christmas.”
It has been confirmed the couple will not spend the festive season with the monarch and the royals at Sandringham, which they have done for the last two years.
Instead they will have Archie’s first Christmas with Doria, 63,after announcing they are taking some time off to recharge.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes said: “Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, their Royal Highnesses will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the duchess's mother Doria Ragland.
“This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty the Queen.
“For security reasons, we will not be providing further details on their schedule at this time.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton have previously skipped Christmas at Sandringham to spends the holidays with the Duchess' family.
Harry and Meghan's decision comes after the Duchess admitted she was "not OK" in their TV documentary, where she also spoke of feeling vulnerable while pregnant with Archie and her fears she and Harry are "existing not living".
The royal couple will be taking a six-week break following Prince Harry’s last engagement of the year on Sunday.
Their break coincides with Thanksgiving, on November 28, which
could also be spent with Doria.
