It is understood that the Sussex flew first class to Heathrow on a commercial flight, accompanied by their security personnel. In the Netherlands, they have been granted VVIP status, with the Dutch government providing them with enhanced security. Some royal commentators have suggested that the Queen, who will turn 96 next Thursday, will not feel that she is taking advantage of the visit, but will be happy with the visit of her grandson and his wife. Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, said: “It’s a wonderful opportunity to clear the air and offer an olive branch. After all that happened, it must have taken a long time for Harry and Megan to go to Windsor. “Also, Good Thursday is a very special day for the Queen, as it is about forgiveness. She is not one of those who hold grudges and I think she would gladly welcome her with open arms “. A spokesman for the Duke said he would not discuss the details of the visit, but said: “We can confirm that they visited the Duke’s grandmother, as we said earlier that she hoped to do. “They stopped from the United Kingdom on their way to The Hague to watch the Invictus Games.”
