Queen Elizabeth II: Meghan pays her respects with a deep curtsy
Over the past week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a few appearances to honour the late Queen, following her death on September 8. Speaking on the latest episode of Royally Us, royal expert and author Christopher Anderson discussed how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex still appear "uneasy" alongside the Royal Family, noting that it is going to "take an awful lot" for the couple to make amends with the family.
Speaking of the Sussexes, he said: "I just think Harry and Meghan still are uneasy.
"We have seen that in a recent interview that Meghan gave.
"So it'll take an awful lot, I think, for them to amend those fences, to get things back to where they were."
Mr Anderson also noted that William "did the reaching out" prior to the Sussexes walkabout in Windsor with Kate and William on September 10.

He added: "Lets not forget, this is to pay respects to their grandmother.
"They were so close to Elizabeth, they admired her as anyone else would their grandmother."
He also stated that "she was also their Queen", adding that William, in particular, was the recipient of all sorts of attention from the Queen".
He continued: "She knew he was the future of the monarchy, he and Kate [and their three children] are the future of the monarchy."
