Queen Elizabeth is understood to be "deeply upset" by Prince Harry's latest criticisms towards his family and has taken the comments "very personally".
The monarch, 95, is believed to be particularly hurt by her grandson's apparent digs at the parenting style of his father Prince Charles, which through association also criticise the Queen and her late husband the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Duke of Sussex spoke in detail about his childhood and the death of his mother Princess Diana, during his new project with Oprah Winfrey The Me You Can't See.
In the mental health-focused docuseries Harry said pleas for help to his family were met with "total silence or total neglect".
He again took aim at Prince Charles, a week after slamming his parenting approach during a podcast with Dax Shepard.
In the Apple TV+ series, Harry of his dad's experiences as a child, "just because you suffered it doesn't mean your kids have to suffer".
He was referencing the distant parenting style employed by the Queen, who put duty to the Commonwealth first and used nannies to help raise her four children, including the Prince of Wales.
The comments have not gone down well with Harry's family and those inside Buckingham Palace.
Royal sources have told the Mail on Sunday: "Harry's grandmother has taken this very personally and is deeply upset by what Harry has said, in particular his comments about Charles's parenting and suggesting his father knows no better because of how he was brought up. It has been a very upsetting time."
Prince Charles is believed to be hopeful of a reconciliation with his son despite all that has been said in recent weeks.
A friend of the Prince of Wales said he will "want to engage" with his son, saying Prince Harry's comments were being seen as "very callous within the family".
"Charles is such a gentle man and a dedicated father first and foremost," the friend said.
"He'll be feeling wretched. He wants to seek a reconciliation. He is not vindictive at all."
Harry went into great detail to Oprah, describing how he tried to seek help from the royal family after Meghan experienced suicidal thoughts.
He said attempts to get help were "met with total silence or total neglect".
"I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence, total neglect," Harry said.
"We spent four years trying to make it work. We did everything that we possibly could to stay there and carry on doing the role and doing the job. But Meghan was struggling."
Speaking about Prince Charles Harry said, "My father used to say when I was younger, he used to say to William and I, 'well it was like that for me so it's going to be like that for you'. That doesn't make sense.
"Just because you suffered it doesn't mean your kids have to suffer. In fact it's the opposite. If you suffered, do everything you can to make sure any negative experiences you had mean you can make it right for your kids."
