Emotional Harry recalls how he used to trick her grandmother, the Queen

Queen Elizabeth

Prince Harry was the only royal who could ever trick Queen Elizabeth and get away with it. Even William didn’t enjoy this much liberty.


The special bond between Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth has a long history.



Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry used to have a very, very special bond. The roots of which go way back to Harry’s childhood. An emotional Prince Harry revealed that he was the “only one” who would get away after tricking the Queen.

This was something he apparently took full benefit of as a kid. Former royal butler Paul Burrell agreed with Prince Harry and said “I know the Queen very well. I also know the fact that she was very fond of Harry,” Burrell told OK! magazine.

He further added by saying “William would sit and have tea with her after school. Harry would silently come and put plastic flies in the sugar bowl! It was hilarious. Prince Harry was the only one who could trick his granny.” It is said that Paul Burrell last spoke to Queen Elizabeth in 2018, according to The Mirror.

Prince Harry shares another tale about his boyhood mischief. Harry revealed that his late mother, Princess Diana, also helped encourage his practical jokes, particularly when it came to shopping for his Christmas gifts.


“My mother, Diana, would spend hours searching for jokey things for their stockings”. “One fine year, I got a fake dog poo,” Harry said. Prince Harry promptly started looking for places he could put fake dog poo where I would find it, the Queen revealed many years ago.

According to the head cook at Althorp Estate, where Harry stayed with his parents as a child, he enjoyed flushing slippers down the toilet whenever he was visiting. The trick, reasonably, created a lot of chaos in the estate.

“Whenever Prince Charles and Diana brought William and Harry to Althorp, Harry was a little mischief—he was stuffing slippers down the loo,” the chef said, according to The Royal UK.
