The return of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan to the UK with their children has been eagerly awaited. During the anniversary celebrations, Queen Elizabeth finally got to know her great-granddaughter Lilibet. However, the monarch should not have taken much time for the meeting, it is said now.
It must have taken a lot of effort for her after the events of the past few years: Prince Harry, 37, and Duchess Meghan, 40, traveled for the first time with their two children Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, from their adopted home in the USA to Great Britain .

After all, the monarch had not yet met her great-granddaughter Lilibet. According to palace staff, the meeting was said to be rather “formal” and only lasted 15 minutes.

The meeting is said to have taken place on Thursday, June 2, 2022, the day that kicked off the four-day celebrations with the “Trooping the Color” parade. “It was a quick affair. It was all very formal,” one of the insiders told The Sun. The visit lasted only 15 minutes, they say.
Prince Harry upset at UK reception
In addition, the Queen is said to have strictly refused a request from the Sussexes to bring their own photographer to Windsor Castle to capture the first meeting between the Queen and her namesake.
The fact that the other members of the royal family made little fuss about the return of the royal dropouts is said to have caused displeasure with Harry and Meghan. So on Sunday, June 5, 2022, before the end of the anniversary celebrations, they were back in the private jet on their way back to Montecito, California.
