Prince Harry tells of his '˜huge respect' for his '˜boss' the Queen

Prince Harry views the Queen more as his boss than his grandmother, he has told a documentary to mark the monarch's 90th birthday.

Harry, who was interviewed for the BBC’s Elizabeth At 90 - A Family Tribute, discusses the respect he has for the royal matriarch, according to this week’s Radio Times.

“I still view her more as the Queen than my grandmother. You have this huge amount of respect for your boss and I always view her as my boss - but occasionally as a grandmother,” the Prince said.

The programme, which will be broadcast on BBC1 on April 21, the Queen’s birthday, also sees the Princess Royal describe the monarch’s mixed feelings about becoming the nation’s longest reigning sovereign.

Anne said: “Don’t forget there’s a very double-edged sword. People tend to forget when she passed the longest reigning monarch, that was only because her father died so young.

“So you know for her that’s a very mixed blessing, and you know it’s a record that she would much rather not have been able to pass.”

The documentary also features home cine movies shot by the monarch and the Duke of Edinburgh. Much of the footage has never been seen publicly before.
