In this week’s royal news update, Queen Elizabeth II banned Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from getting a private photographer to capture the moment she met Lilibet for the first time.
A new adorable portrait of Lilibet from her first birthday party was shared, and Prince William and Kate Middleton made a joke about Prince Louis’ cheeky behaviour at the platinum jubilee celebrations this past weekend.
The 96-year-old monarch met Harry and Meghan’s daughter, Lilibet for the first time on Thursday when the couple arrived in the UK for her weekend long Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
According to The Sun, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted to hire a private photographer to capture the moment when Lilibet met her great grandmother for the first time, however, they were allegedly banned from getting a photographer because they were told it was a “private family meeting”.
The reason for this, Palace insiders believe, is that there might be fears that any photographs taken by Harry and Meghan’s private photographers would be shared with television networks in the United States.
