She hasn't seen Prince Harry's children in person since his move to America. 💔
Royal followers have wanted to see Queen Elizabeth and Lilibet meet each other ever since Prince Harry’s baby girl was born—and now, the Queen is even more eager to make it happen.
Harry and Meghan made sure to introduce baby Lili to her great-grandmother virtually, however. According to The Royal Observer, the monarch met the newest addition to the family over Zoom shortly after she was born. “Meghan is now resting at home and she and Harry have already introduced the Queen to her great-granddaughter via Zoom,” an insider told the site in June 2021, adding at the time, “Since the couple moved to L.A., the Queen has become very familiar with Zoom.
The Queen’s desire to meet her great-granddaughter Lilibet comes after a series of recent health troubles, including her COVID-19 diagnosis in February 2022 and hospitalization in November 2021. Understandably, these recent setbacks have made the possibility of meeting her grandson’s daughter more urgent. Prince Harry, however, has struggled in recent months with the decision to bring his family to the United Kingdom due to a series of security concerns.
The statement went on to note that while Harry and Meghan pay for their own security team in the U.S., they “cannot replicate the necessary protection needed whilst in the U.K.” without the British government’s permission. “In absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return home.”
