Harry left the UK yesterday - flying back to the US to be with pregnant wife Meghan Markle, as the Queen marked her 95th birthday today.
But Mr Scobie said Harry had been able to talk with his grandmother "at least twice" during his time in Britain.
It would have been the first time Prince Harry spoke to the Queen in person since his and Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah.
The co-author of Finding Freedom wrote in: "The love and respect he has for his grandmother will always be unwavering.
It comes as:

“This trip was to honour the life of his grandfather and support his grandmother and relatives.
"It was very much a family-focused period of time. Saturday broke the ice for future conversations but outstanding issues have not been addressed at any great length.
"The family simply put their issues to one side to focus on what mattered.”
Released last year, Finding Freedom is an explosive biography telling the story of the Duke and Duchesses decision to step away from royal life - a project they claim they had no input in.
Mr Scobie confirmed Harry stayed at Frogmore Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle while he was in the country.
FAMILY REUNION
The Duke saw a number of family members, a source told Scobie, including Princess Eugenie and her newborn son.
He also had the first face-to-face conversations with his dad and brother since officially stepping down as senior royals last year.
The Queen is celebrating her 95th birthday today, after Harry touched down back in the US yesterday.
She issued a personal message thanking the nation for support and kindness following Prince Philip's death.
It was thought Harry might stay to see his grandmother on her birthday, after buying an open-ended ticket - but with pregnant Meghan Markle at home in the US he rushed back.
Scobie claims while no plans have been officially confirmed, Prince Harry is expected to come back to the UK in July.
This would be for the unveiling of a statue of his late mum, Princess Diana.
