Meghan Markle Fears Daughter Lilibet Will Be Written Out Of Royal History As Queen Elizabeth Declines Photoshoot Request

Lilibet, the daughter of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, first met the royal family a few weeks ago. By all accounts, it was a success. However, the Duke and Duchess reportedly do worry that Lili won't get to spend more time with her great-grandmother and will therefore be "written out of royal history."

According to The Express, when asked about the circumstance by a source, royal analyst Neil Sean stated: "According to that good source, it appears that both Harry and Meghan feel that their daughter is going to be re-written out of history. This is because if you think about it logically, when are they next going to return? When will the opportunity be there to have a formal portrait with our gracious monarch? And at 96 years old they have to look logically at that. So will their daughter Lili ever truly get to meet her great-grandmother again?"

When Meghan and Harry would return to the United Kingdom with their children is unknown. But during their journey for the Queen's Jubilee, they reportedly were refused permission to take a photo of Lilibet and Her Majesty. When Lili first saw her namesake, The Sussexes wanted to bring a photographer along, but they were told no due to privacy concerns, according to an article in The Sun at the time.

“Harry and Meghan wanted their photographer to capture the moment Lilibet met the Queen,” a source said . “But they were told no chance. It was a private family meeting.” On Lili's birthday, the pair ultimately decided to share a solitary portrait of her, which can be seen here.

The meeting's existence was not confirmed by the palace. Sean hypothesized that the royal pair might have been dissatisfied by the lack of official images taken during Queen Elizabeth and Lilibet's initial meeting.

However, according to a source from the New York Post, the royal couple didn't want a picture. The Sussexes reportedly shared an intimate and private time with Queen Elizabeth, according to an unnamed source with knowledge of the matter. According to reports, they skipped asking for pictures because the "Queen wasn't feeling well."
