"Very emotional": Prince Charles meets granddaughter Lilibet for the first time

The daughter of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan is already a year old, but for a long time there was no meeting between her and grandfather Prince Charles. Only now does the heir to the throne embrace his little granddaughter Lilibet for the very first time. The meeting was "very emotional".

The heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, has held his one-year-old granddaughter Lilibet, the little daughter of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, in his arms for the first time. This was reported by the British news agency PA, citing palace circles. The meeting a few days ago was "very emotional". Charles and his wife, Duchess Camilla, were overjoyed to see the little one and brother Archie, as well as parents Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.

Queen Elizabeth II met Lilibet at her great-granddaughter's birthday party at Frogmore Cottage, where the family of four, including Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan, Archie and Lilibet, were staying. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in England from the US to attend the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The monarch had not met Lilibet, who was named after her and was born in California.

However, Prince William and Duchess Kate did not attend the birthday party and instead stayed in Cardiff, Wales, 200 kilometers away, as part of the platinum anniversary celebrations. The relationship between the two brothers Prince William and Prince Harry is still tense. However, the Duke of Cambridge and his brother want to work to gradually improve their relationship with regular video calls and messages.

Harry and Meghan had broken away from the closer circle of the royal family in 2020 and had moved to the other side of the Atlantic. They live with their children in the US state of California. The couple had made serious allegations against the royals and expressed them publicly in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Due to the pandemic and other reasons, the two have not been in the UK for a long time.
