The Queen met her great-granddaughter for the first time three months before her death at her Platinum Jubilee.
Touching. Prince Harry gave a heartfelt tribute to Queen Elizabeth and the time Lilibet and Archie met their royal great-grandmother. The Archewell co-founder made a public statement about his grandmother’s death on September 12, 2022, to remember her legacy.
In his statement on the Archewell website, Prince Harry remembers all the fond memories he had with his grandmother when she was alive. “Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings — from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my commander in chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren.
Queen Elizabeth met with Meghan and Harry’s first-born, Archie, 3, before they left for Montecito, California after they stepped down from their royal duties. Lilibet Diana was born in California in June 2021. Queen Elizabeth didn’t meet with her great-grandaughter until her Platinum Jubilee in June 2022 when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to England to celebrate Her Majesty’s 70 years of service.
Harry and Meghan made sure to introduce baby Lili to her great-grandmother virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to The Royal Observer, the late monarch met baby Lilibet over Zoom shortly after she was born. “Meghan is now resting at home and she and Harry have already introduced the Queen to her great-granddaughter via Zoom,” an insider told the site in June 2021, adding at the time, “Since the couple moved to L.A., the Queen has become very familiar with Zoom.
