It was further mentioned that she was not upset because of the bombshell interview Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave on Oprah Winfrey’s show,

She liked her so much that she wasn’t even put off by the Sussexes’ infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey. I can say, because I know, that the Queen was always more concerned about Harry’s well-being than ‘this TV nonsense.’
