The late Queen Elizabeth II made Prince Harry feel "nervous" and "afraid", a royal expert has said, pointing out he used these very words in his bombshell memoir, Spare.

It has previously been reported that Harry, 38 shared a close relationship with his grandmother, and even after he stepped down from his senior royal duties in 2020, it's thought he still managed to maintain a close bond with The Queen.

But royal expert Tessa Dunlop shared that in Harry's explosive memoir Spare, he said that Her Majesty made him "nervous" and "afraid".

Historian, writer and broadcaster Tessa spoke exclusively to OK! and said: "He used the two words in his book Spare". She added that Harry had reportedly said: "he would have loved to have hugged her, but he didn’t".Talking further about the Queen's relationships with her family Tessa said: "I think we know even from Harry's account, the Queen didn't offer an emotional abundance. "The Queen wasn’t some sort of cuddly woman, she was an institution and that bled into the way she managed her family". "The Queen was not a hugger”, the royal expert added.Tessa previously spoke about the Queen's relationship with Kate and said they had a "respectful relationship" and it was "as warm as the Queen ever warmed”.The Duke of Sussex will return to the UK to attend his father's Coronation on Saturday 6 May and it was reported he had issued a series of demands before he confirmed his attendance at the historical event.
