Lilibet Meets Queen Elizabeth: How Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's Daughter Could Become a Key for Their Return to Palace?

The long-awaited family reunion is said to have happened when the Sussexes returned to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee weekend. The touching meeting took place at Windsor Castle 48 hours after Harry and Meghan returned to the UK by private plane on Wednesday.

Despite this, no formal confirmation has been received. Archie, the couple's other child, has not seen the Queen since he was only a few months old in 2019. Lilibet's first birthday is tomorrow, and it comes on the same day as the Queen's visit to the Epsom Derby.

Queen Elizabeth To Prioritize Attending to Lilibet's Birthday

However, due to persistent mobility concerns, the Queen opted out of attending the famed horse races and was replaced by Princess Anne. She is expected to make time to see her grandson Prince Harry and his children once more, according to the Daily Mail.

At the time, there was some debate about Lilibet's name, with reports that the Sussexes had not sought permission to use it before doing so. This comes after months of speculation regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's involvement in the Platinum Jubilee weekend.

According to reports prior to the four-day weekend, they planned to keep a low profile throughout the celebration and had their Netflix cameras turned off. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen holding hands and joining the Royal Family for a thanksgiving ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral with other royals, as per Mirror.

Lilibet Is Expected To Be Christened in the UK

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's baby Lilibet is expected to be baptized tomorrow, according to former BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole. Lilibet, who will be one year old tomorrow, is now staying in the United Kingdom with her three-year-old brother Archie.

In place of the Epsom Derby, the Queen may attend the christening ceremony tomorrow. Meghan Markle's close friend Omid Scobie claimed earlier today that the birthday celebration will be private, with no photos will be released to the media, Express reported.

While other royals traveled from St. Paul's to a banquet held by the Lord Mayor of London at Guildhall in London, the Queen remained at Windsor, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle not expected to attend.

According to experts, Lilibet might be the key to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returning the Firm. In his recent column for the Daily Mail, royal commentator Richard Kay makes this assertion. After arriving in the United Kingdom, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to reunite with the senior royals on Friday for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex came to the United Kingdom this week to honor the queen, and were spotted at the Trooping the Colour parade with other royal family members. They were not allowed on the balcony, which was reserved for working senior royal members.

Although they were not on the balcony, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen on camera shushing a few younger royals in a viral moment. "It must have been painful for Harry and Meghan, as well as their children Archie and Lili, to be excluded from the Buckingham Palace balcony," a royal analyst told Fox News.
