The Queen met her namesake great-granddaughter (Elizabeth's nickname is Lilibet) for the first time last Thursday at Windsor Castle — and reportedly, a second time the day after.
Lili has only had one formal portrait released, which came in honor of her first birthday in June 2022. It was taken at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor by Meghan's favorite photographer Misan Harriman when the family visited England for the late Queen Elizabeth II's platinum Jubilee.
But Princess Diana's two sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale, were present at the ceremony, The Mirror reported.
Under British royal protocol, both Lilibet and Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, the couple's 3-year-old son, are entitled to the titles of princess and prince as grandchildren of the sitting U.K. monarch.
The Princess of Sussex resides in California with her father Harry, mother Meghan, and brother Prince Archie of Sussex, 4. Harry and Meghan moved to the U.S. in 2020 after stepping down from their roles as working royals in January of that year.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are proud parents to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, perhaps inspiring their support of a report on fatherhood today.
In some photos, Archie's hair appears to be red like Prince Harry's, while in others it's clear the little one has inherited Markle's brown eyes. However, side-by-side photos comparing baby Archie to baby Harry show the father and son are a lot alike.
That is the agreement — they can be prince and princess but not HRH because they are not working royals.
The meeting between Queen Elizabeth and Lilibet, who was named after her great-grandmother's childhood nickname, likely occurred in June, when Prince Harry and Meghan traveled from California to the U.K. with their children to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Following the news of Lilibet's christening, Harry and Meghan's spokesperson confirmed in a statement that both their children will now indeed be known as Prince and Princess. “The children's titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch,” they wrote.
"According to sources, when Diana passed away in 1997, Margaret didn't even bow her head in respect. "Apparently she gave a lazy salute to the casket that has been compared to shooing away a fly." According to TheTalko, Margaret felt as though "Diana had turned her back on the Royal Family".
Who gave the eulogy at Diana's funeral? Princess Diana's eulogy was delivered by Charles Spencer. The funeral was one of the biggest televised events in history and with the eyes of the world on him, Earl Spencer delivered a moving tribute to his late sister.
Sarah Spencer is the name of the alleged hidden daughter of Princess Diana of Wales and the now King of England, King Charles III. The theory signals that she would have been born before William and Harry and has had to live in the low profile to prevent suspicions of her existence.
Prince Harry reveals that his daughter, Lilibet, has the 'same blue eyes' as Princess Diana, and the little one's godfather is revealed in the latest episode of the Netflix docuseries.
Hilaria Baldwin had a double rainbow baby with the birth of their fifth child after two miscarriages, And Meghan Markle became a royal rainbow mom with the birth of Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor.
She wears a powder blue dress, a bow over her full head of red hair and has a redhead trait: the blondest of eyebrows. Meghan and Hary's first child Archie also has red hair, so many people were wondering if Lilibet also inherited her dad's genes.
He hadn't met Lilibet, his granddaughter, and so to meet her for the first time was very emotional—it was a wonderful thing.” During the trip, Lilibet was also able to meet her great-grandmother for the first time. The infant is named after the monarch, as Lilibet was the queen's childhood nickname.
The reason? They're simply too young to attend such heavy royal events. It seems the Prince and Princess of Wales, aka William and Kate, made a similar choice with their youngest child, Prince Louis, who is 4 years old.
Harry and Meghan's decision not to include Archie and Lilibet in the memorial services is understandable, given the high-profile nature of the occasion, not to mention the fact that Harry and Meghan are fiercely private about Archie and Lilibet's privacy.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet: Why Harry and Meghan waited until now to use royal titles for their children. Technically Harry and Meghan's children became a prince and princess when the King acceded to the throne, but they have remained "master" and "miss" on the Buckingham Palace website for the last six months.
The couple referred to their daughter as “Princess Lilibet” during her christening, ending speculation about their children's public titles. Prince Harry and Meghan's children have officially taken on royal titles.

Like her father and paternal grandparents, Princess Lilibet appears to have blue eyes. And this has been highlighted by her parents Prince Harry, 38 and Meghan Markle, 41.
Princess Kate is the only member of the current British royal family to have green eyes, although they can appear light brown or hazel in certain lighting conditions.
It's meant there's a lot of discussion around who the royal tots look most alike - mum Kate or dad William. Kate Middleton has hazel-green colour eyes, and dark brown hair, while Prince William has fair hair and blue eyes, and it seems each child takes after them in different ways...
