Queen 'often pops in to Frogmore Cottage to visit Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as she bids to keep them in the Royal fold - but disagrees with their approach to the media'
- Queen is believed to visit Harry and Meghan regularly at home in Windsor
- She 'disagrees with some of decisions couple have made over press coverage'
- Experts claim Queen has intervened to try to ease tensions within the family
- Comes after Palace announced Sussexes won't spend Christmas with the Queen
The Queen is trying to help the Duke and Duchess of Sussex cope with the pressures of royal life in a desperate bid to reunite the family, it was claimed today.
Buckingham Palace yesterday announced Harry and Meghan will not be spending Christmas with the rest of the royals at Sandringham, fueling speculation of tension in the family.
A statement said the Sussexes had the 'full support' of the monarch to be with Meghan's mother Doria Ragland, instead, as Harry's brother William and wife Kate have previously chosen to spend the festive period with her parents in Berkshire.
Although some described the move as a 'snub' of Harry's 93-year-old grandmother, it has today been claimed the Queen is at the centre of the bid to bring the family back together.
She is trying to counsel them through their difficulties with media coverage and often visits them at Frogmore Cottage when she goes to neighbouring Windsor Castle, The Daily Express reports.

The newspaper claims the Queen does not agree with some of their decisions about press coverage, but is trying to guide them to heal rifts.
A spokesman for the Sussexes said last night: 'Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, their Royal Highnesses will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the duchess's mother Doria Ragland.
'This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty the Queen.
'For security reasons, we will not be providing further details on their schedule at this time.'

Although the Palace stressed that the couple's decision to miss the Royal Family's traditional Christmas celebrations on the monarch's Norfolk estate was in no way a 'snub', it comes after they turned down an invitation to join her at Balmoral this summer.
But an aide insisted: 'The duke and duchess see a lot of the Queen as they now live at Windsor.
'That's why they didn't go to Scotland this summer and why the Queen is supportive of their decision about Christmas.'
The couple could spend it quietly at their new Windsor home with Miss Ragland for the first time – seen as the most likely option – or go abroad, either to the US or even Africa, which Harry views as his 'second home'.
The six-week sabbatical will begin after Harry's last official engagement of the year on Sunday.
It is likely to coincide with Thanksgiving, which falls on November 28 this year.
Two years ago, Meghan joined the Royal Family for her first Christmas at Sandringham and the couple were seen putting on a united front with William and Kate. But this year they will spending it with Meghan's mother Doria Ragland instead
