British Queen Elizabeth II gave Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle only 15 minutes of her time during her platinum jubilee celebration (the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne), a royal source confirmed to the British newspaper, The Sun.
According to the source, the meeting that brought the Queen together with her grandson, the Duke of Sussex, his wife and their two children Archie and Lilibet was very “official and fast”, and did not exceed 15 minutes.
The source confirmed that Harry and his wife were prevented from bringing a photographer to Windsor Castle to capture the moment the Queen saw Lillibit for the first time since her birth, “to preserve the privacy of the family.” Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the source’s statement.
Harry and his wife appeared for the first time following leaving the royal family during the thanksgiving service that was held at St Paul’s Cathedral in London on Friday 3 June.
Informed sources said: The royal family was happy that he brought Archie and Lillibit to meet the Queen and the rest of the family. Nevertheless, the Sussexes refused the opportunity to have snacks and drinks with the family at the Guildhall Building in Windsor, preferring to remain alone at Frogmore Palace. Harry and his wife returned to the United States an hour before the British royal family appeared for the last time on the platinum jubilee of Queen Elizabeth.
A royal source said Harry and Meghan chose to leave in silence and without making a fuss. The cost of a round trip trip for the couple and their two children is estimated at 160,000 pounds. It is not known who paid for this trip. Harry and Meghan gave up their royal duties in March 2020.
Since that time, Harry and his wife have attacked the royal family on more than one occasion, the most famous of which is the controversial interview they gave to the American media, Oprah Winfrey, which was broadcast in March 2021. In which Harry said that his father and brother are “prisoners” of the regime, as members of the royal family, He also stated that he “felt let down by his father”, who stopped answering his calls and stopped financial support for him when he and his wife traveled to the United States of America.
Megan also said during the interview that the royal family refused to provide psychological help to her, following she had the idea of suicide, and she and Harry revealed a conversation in which an unnamed person in the royal family expressed “concern” regarding the color of their son Archie’s skin during Megan’s pregnancy with him.
