Queen decided within seconds to push Harry to the sidelines on Remembrance Day

Queen Elizabeth had a major decision to make at hand on Remembrance Day - whether to let Prince Harry lay the Cenotaph wreath or not.

However, the monarch decided within 'two seconds' to ban this from happening in order to teach Harry and Meghan a lesson.

According to palace insiders, Queen turned down Harry's request of a wreath being laid on his behalf and made the decision "in less than one minute."

"Remembrance Sunday is sacrosanct when it comes to Her Majesty's diary, it's one of the most important dates in her calendar and nothing is done without her knowledge," an insider told the Daily Mail, adding it took "all but two seconds."

"People were suggesting the Palace's reaction to what Harry asked was petty but it was the Queen's decision. And what's more, she actually had very strong views on the subject," the source added.

A second insider confirmed the intel saying, "The Queen is very firmly of the opinion that you can't pick and choose what you do when it comes to the institution, either you are in — or you are out."
