Prince Harry needs to say 'sorry' to the Queen after making controversial comments about the Queen, say royal fans.The 37-year-old Duke of Sussex has drawn criticism online after he said that he was hoping to ensure his grandmother was "protected" and "had the right people around her" in an interview with NBC’s Today show on Wednesday (April 20).Harry made the comments only days after making a surprise visit with wife Meghan Markle to Windsor Castle last week, where he met with Her Majesty and his father Prince Charles.But some have said his US TV appearance from the Invictus Games in The Hague was yet another attempt at stirring trouble within the Royal Family, drawing comparison to his ‘calculated digs' from his bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2020.One expert claimed this had indeed been the effect of his remarks on The Firm, and suggested that he had made them as there was still "bitterness" over how he and his wife were treated before their move to CaliforniaRichard Palmer, the Daily Express’ Royal Correspondent, said to Royal Roundup host Pandora Forsyth: “It's been seen as a dig at some of the senior advisers to the Queen.“I think there's a little bit of bitterness left over from after he and Meghan got married and they felt Meghan didn't get the help and support she needed.”Royal fans on social media have also condemned his behaviour, with one writing: “He needs to apologise to everyone from the Queen down. He has insulted everyone.”Another agreed, replying: “Absolutely Harry should apologise.”While another believed they showed a condescending attitude toward the Queen, and said: “Harry's comments tried to diminish and patronise the Queen who has all her faculties and is still working.
