“It was a quick in and out job. It was all quite formal.”
that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent visit to the U.K. for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee wasn’t likely what they hoped it would be, as they apparently ran into a brick wall trying to mend fences with the royal family.
One of the couple’s highlights of their time in the U.K., surely, was introducing one-year-old Lilibet Diana to her namesake, the Queen, at Windsor Castle —the first time the two had ever met, and the first time Her Majesty had seen great-grandson Archie in person since the Sussex step back from life as working royals in January 2020., the Sussexes and the Queen didn’t have much time together: only 15 minutes, the outlet reports.
For their part, the Sussexes watched Trooping the Colour from the Major General’s Office on Thursday, attended the aforementioned Service of Thanksgiving on Friday, celebrated Lili’s first birthday—including a backyard garden party at their U.K. home, Frogmore Cottage—and flew out Sunday. As the royals might say, all diaries were quite full, and we also know the Queen was experiencing discomfort after Thursday’s festivities.
And, opposed to the photo we got of Her Majesty meeting Harry and Meghan’s son Archie after his birth in May 2019, we still haven’t seen a photo of the moment—however brief it may have been—that Lilibet met Lili.Rachel Burchfield is a writer whose primary interests are fashion and beauty, society and culture, and, most especially, the British Royal Family.
