The Queen is ‘desperate’ to see great-granddaughter Lilibet
- Replies 9
Prince Harry and Meghan’s second child and first daughter, Lilibet, was born on June 4, 2021, at a Santa Barbara hospital in California. She is the eleventh great-grandchild of and was named after, Queen Elizabeth II, who was called “Lilibet” by her family.
And ever since the Sussexes decided to step back as senior members of the British royal family on January 8, 2020, the Queen has never had the chance to meet her great-granddaughter, with the exception of a few video calls.
Now, according to a royal expert, the 95-year-old monarch is “desperate” to meet the 9-month-old princess in person.

According to Mr Hoey, the people within the Royal Household believe that the Queen would not just like, but would actually love to see her great-grandchildren in the near future.
He also added that a meeting between the baby and the Queen could have a powerful impact on the general public.
And when he was asked if the news of a reunion between the Sussexes and the Queen could signal that the royal rift is slowly being mended, Mr Hoey said: “Yes, it would.”
“It would be a very easy thing for the rift to be healed between them.”
“It may not be as bad as we on the outside think it is anyway,” he followed, while on the topic of the reported tension between the royals.
“I am absolutely sure the Queen holds no feelings of disapproval towards Harry and Meghan, none whatsoever, she would certainly welcome them back if they came,” claimed the royal expert.

However, this meeting still seems unlikely, given that Prince Harry feels ‘unsafe’ after being told he’d no longer get the “same degree” of security when visiting from the US.
The prince claims that he doesn’t feel safe bringing his family back to the UK from Montecito without additional police protection on his side, which the royal family is not currently allowing.
It is not yet known if the Sussexes plan to return to the UK for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, which will begin on Thursday, June 2, 2022, and will continue over the weekend until June 5.
Ever since the Sussexes moved to America, they have not flown back to the UK as a family. Although Prince Harry has returned twice but only on solo trips – once for Prince Philip’s funeral, and the other on the unveiling of his mother, Princess Diana’s statue.
Aside from Lilibet, the Queen also hasn’t been able to see Harry and Meghan’s two-year-old son, Archie, in-person in a couple of years.
According to royal expert Phil Damper, there is a “very real danger” that the Queen may never actually see Archie and Lilibet ever again, which is quite tragic.
“I can’t see how when they [Meghan and Harry] go on about compassion and family problems but don’t let their grandfather or great-grandmother see Archie,” he said.
It’s sad to think that the Queen may never meet the Great Granddaughter named after her, but we can’t help but understand Prince Harry and Meghan’s fear of going to the UK with minimal Police protection. What do you think?
