Harry opened up about his "special relationship" with his grandmother and revealed he missed his family.
But in the same breath he managed to snub the Queen a staggering five times.
Here's how Harry spurned the Monarch and his family in his bombshell interview...
Jubilee uncertainty
Harry refused to say whether he would return to the UK to celebrate the Queen's 70 years on the throne.
He instead used the opportunity to make a barbed remark about his ongoing row with the UK government over his security.

When asked whether he will return to the UK to mark the Platinum Jubilee, Harry said: "I don't know if I'll come. There are lots of issues with security and everything else."
It came after sources claimed Meghan and Harry could be "invited" to join the Royal Family on the Buckingham Palace balcony in June.
The family is understood to have extended an invite to celebrate the occasion.
Missing Lilibet
Harry told US journalist Hoda Kotb Lilibet hasn't met the Queen yet despite him visiting the UK twice since she was born.

The duke came home in July last year to unveil a statue of Princess Diana - around a month after Meghan Markle had given birth.
He then returned to the UK for a visit to the Queen with Meghan - their first joint visit since they quit the royal family.
But with his uncertainty around returning for the jubilee, it is likely Her Majesty will get to meet her namesake any time soon.
Harry said: "I'm trying to do everything to make sure my kids can meet her."
US is his new home
Harry only ditched the royal family for the US two years ago but the States appears to have firmly cemented itself in his heart.
He praised his neighbours in the Montecito area of Santa Barbara in California for welcoming his family.
The royal said: "Home for me now, for the time being, is in the States and it feels that way as well.
"We've been welcomed with open arms and we have such a great community up in Santa Barbara."
'Special relationship'
Not content with just rebuffing the Queen, Harry also isolated his family in the interview as he gushed over his "special relationship" with the monarch.
He told how he had tea with his gran and Meghan and claimed he made her "laugh" on the visit.
Harry also claimed she is able to open up with him, which gives her "peace".
He said: "We have a really special relationship.
"We talk about things that she can't talk about with anybody else, so that is always a nice peace to her."
'Protective' Harry
As the row over his own royal protection rumbles on, the duke sensationally revealed he wants the "right people" around the Queen.
He said: "Being with her, it was great. It was just so nice to see her. You know, she's on great form.
"She has always got a great sense of humour with me and I'm just making sure she's protected and has got the right people around her."
Royal experts branded his misguided remark a "gross insult" that showed his "arrogance".
Author Angela Levin blasted: “His comment on US TV is a gross insult to all the royal family, the royal doctors and all the aides around HM. His arrogance knows no bounds.”
Fellow expert Robert Jobson added: "Prince Harry says on US TV he is making sure the Queen is 'protected and has the right people around her'. How so?
