Prince Harry says he's making sure the Queen is 'protected' and with the right people after his visit to the UK

• Prince Harry said he's ensuring the Queen is "protected."
• In an interview with Today, Harry spoke about his recent meeting with the monarch.

The Duke of Sussex said he's ensuring that Queen Elizabeth II is "protected" and surrounded by the right people.

Prince Harry sat down for an exclusive interview with NBC News' "Today" show to promote The Invictus Games, a sporting tournament that he founded for wounded service personnel that's currently taking place in The Hague, the Netherlands. In an exclusive clip released on Tuesday, Harry spoke to Hoda Kotb about visiting the Queen in the UK before flying to The Hague.

"Being with her, it was great, it was just so nice to see her," Harry said of Her Majesty. "She's on great form. She's always got a great sense of humor with me, and I'm just making sure that she's, you know, protected, and got the right people around her."

Harry added that "home for me, now, for the time being, is in the States" and that he has a "great community" in Santa Barbara, California, where he currently resides with Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

The full interview will air on NBC News' "Today" show on Wednesday, April 20.

The visit to the UK marked Markle's first time back to the country since the couple stepped back from royal life in April 2020. Harry made two previous visits, for Prince Philip's funeral service in April 2021 and for the statue unveiling of Princess Diana in July.

The Telegraph reports that the Sussexes have been invited to join the royal family in June for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, which mark her 70 years on the British throne. It has not yet been confirmed if the invitation was accepted.
