QEII understood that completely and always went to great lengths to ensure those two 'roles' were separate - her family life could not hold precedence over the Monarchy, and the institution of the Monarchy must be protected in all circumstances (in effect, she thought of herself as the 'caretaker' of the Monarch).Yes I get all that, the irony for me is that if she had in fact sat with Harry, she would have protected the Monarchy, by not doing so, she effectively destroyed it. After all, at the point, Harry was part of it. Its real simple, If you want popularity in 2022, act human FFS.
Hence, if the Grandmother wanted to do something that would be counter-productive for the Monarch, it would not be done.
