We only caught a glimpse of them behind a large window, but their appearance delighted everyone: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are back on British soil! Accompanied by their two children, Archie and Lilibet, they had been invited by the queen herself to the ceremonies of her jubilee and took part this Thursday morning in all discretion in the military parade Trooping The Color, which they observed from the inside the palace, with the children.
If we only saw them very quickly, the royal family spent a lot of time with them according to the DailyMailin particular during an informal lunch which brought together Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla as well as Prince Harry and his entire family, finally allowing the sovereign to meet her last great-granddaughter, Lilibetwho will be 1 year old tomorrow.
Born in California, the girl had never set foot on British soil and therefore met this week all the members of her paternal family, whom she surely saw in video. On the other hand, we do not know if Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton were in the game, they who have been angry with the Sussex couple for a few years. Maybe they allowed the children to meet… The mystery remains!
In any case, the two couples will participate this Friday morning in a mass given in the chapel of Saint Paul, for which the whole family has been invited this time. Prince Charles will take the place of his mother, too tired by the Trooping The Color parade, for which she appeared on the balcony. Little George and Charlotte from Cambridge could well be there too, but there is little chance of seeing Archie and Lilibet there: too small, the children should stay at Frogmore Cottage all weekend.
This Saturday, the youngest of the clan will celebrate her birthday there, an event to which the queen is expected. This one could indeed miss the horse races that she loves so much to please her grandson. On the other hand, we should not see Kate and William there: the Cambridge couple should have a trip to Wales during the day.
