The "Daily Mail" newspaper said that Queen Elizabeth II will extend an "olive branch" to Prince Harry and his wife Megan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, after their fiery interview with American media Oprah Winfrey.

The newspaper said that the Queen, who prevented employees from discussing the contents of the interview publicly, will communicate with her grandson and his wife to hold "peace talks", and they are expected to speak on the phone in the next few days.

She explained that although Harry and Meghan were informed of the Buckingham Palace statement before its official release on Tuesday, the Queen thinks it is time for a personal approach.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan abandoned their royal duties in January 2020 and moved with their first son, Archie, to Southern California in the United States for a more independent life and away from the British media.

Harry and his wife's interview with Oprah, broadcast on CBS last Sunday, sparked the biggest crisis in the British royal family since the death of Princess Diana, Harry's mother, in 1997 when the family led by Queen Elizabeth II was widely criticized for being late in commenting.

During the interview, Harry and Meghan accused a member of the royal family of making racist statements about Archie, stating that the unidentified person had expressed concern about their son's skin color, and Megan said she felt rejected to the point that she was suicidal.

Harry also stated in the two-hour interview that his father, heir to the throne Prince Charles, had "let him down," and the prince added that he felt he was in a "trap" because of life as a member of the royal family.

The British royal family expressed their grief over the difficulties faced by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, stressing that "Harry, Megan and Archie will always be very beloved members of the family."
