Prince Harry has begun speaking with Hoda Kotb in an interview filmed from the fifth Invictus Games in The Netherlands.

In the beginning of the interview, the Today show host asked the royal whether he now feels at peace, to which he acknowledged that mental health is about management.

“I think everyone ends up feeling lighter, I think is the best way to describe it. For so many people, it is about management. You know the things that trigger you, therefore you try and stay away. But what I do know is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for absolutely everybody,” Harry said.

The Today show will begin in about one minute, with Prince Harry’s interview soon to follow.

We're now half an hour away from the start of NBC's Today show, which will include Prince Harry's interview. Here are the key points so far:

• Harry and Meghan had tea with the Queen last week during a secret visit to the UK

NBC's interview with Prince Harry took place while he was visiting the Netherlands to attend the Invictus Games, a sporting competition for injured and sick military service members and veterans that he founded in 2014.

The Games, named after William Ernest Henley's famous Victorian poem – the title of which means "unconquered" in Latin – were the prince's attempt to inspire hurt service members following his time in the British Army in Afghanistan.

However, the games were postponed in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and again in 2021, making this installment an emotional one for the Duke of Sussex.

“To the key workers on the frontlines in the battle against the pandemic, we are with you,” said Prince Harry and various associates in a collective video last February. “When the world is ready, we will compete with all we have, with all we are.”

Another preview clip from NBC showed the Duke saying he wanted to make sure his grandmother the Queen is "protected" and has the "right people around her".

While Prince Harry did not elaborate on his meaning during the preview clip, his comments about protecting the monarch come after he and Meghan shared a number of surprising claims about their time as royals during an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

At one point during the interview with Winfrey, Prince Harry alleged that the Queen, who he described as the “head of The Firm,” is badly advised by those around her.

In a preview clip from NBC last night, the Duke of Sussex revealed that California feels like “home” to him and that he and Meghan Markle have been welcomed with “open arms” in the Golden State.

"Home for me now is, for the time being, it’s in the States,” Prince Harry said. "And it feels that way as well. We’ve been welcomed with open arms. And it’s got such a great community up in Santa Barbara."

Prince Harry told TV host Hoda Kotb that his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II was on “great form” after her recent bout with Covid 19.

According to new preview footage released by NBC News last night, the Duke of Sussex opened up about his recent secret visit to the Queen last week.

“She’s on great form," said the Duke. She’s always got a great sense of humour with me, and I’m just making sure that she’s protected and got the right people around her.”

In his NBC interview, Prince Harry opened up about how much he enjoyed being reunited with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, during his and Meghan Markle’s surprise visit.

“Being with her was great, it was just so nice to see her. She was on great form, she’s always got a great sense of humour,” the royal said during a preview clip of the interview shared during NBC’s Nightly News with Lester Holt on Tuesday.

That trip marked the first time that Prince Harry and Meghan have been in Europe together since they stepped back from their roles as senior members of the royal family in March 2020 and relocated to California.

The Queen is set to spend her 96th birthday today in "modest" fashion at a farmhouse beloved by Prince Philip.

According to Mail Online, Queen Elizabeth II will travel by helicopter to her family's estate at Sandringham in Norfolk on Wednesday to stay at Wood Farm, where her late husband lived after retiring from public life.

Friends and family will visit her there over the next few days. Buckingham Palace is not planning any major publicevents to make her birthday.

The context is that the Queen's advanced age and mobility issues have cast doubt on the extent of her involvement in public celebrations for her platinum jubilee this June.

If you ever wanted to see his royal highness the Duke of Sussex, sixth in line to the throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, driving around in a tiny little car, today is your lucky day.

As part of the Invictus Games, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were chauffeured around a very small track in very small Land Rovers driven by children, which was thankfully caught on video.
