So, would it be an attempt at reconciliation with the Duchess of Cambridge or a simple coincidence? For the moment, no one knows, but it could be a sign, as the two women will meet again during the week for the start of the Jubilee ceremonies. Not necessarily on good terms – during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle accused Kate Middleton of having made her cry – they may take advantage of this to reconcile, especially around their children, who will meet for the first time. time.
Indeed, if Prince William and Kate Middleton know little Archie, born a few months before the sensational departure of the Sussex couple in the United States, they have never yet seen little Lilbet, born in 2021. This one will celebrate d elsewhere his first birthday in London on June 4 and is also expected to meet Queen Elizabeth II for the first time on this occasion.
A long-awaited family return
For their return to London with his small family, Prince Harry will also find the whole family: his cousin Eugenie, who had come to visit him in the United States, now lives in Frogmore Cottage where he lived for some time before leaving. move to California and where he will be staying during his stay. With her too, diapers and baby bottles can be a topic of conversation: Prince Andrew’s daughter welcomed a little August in February 2021. This one is also expected for the Jubilee, just like her sister Beatrice (recently mother of a little Sienna) and their cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, who should each be accompanied by their children.
But none of them will go up to the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional Trooping the Color parade: to avoid the many controversies, the Queen has indeed taken the decision that only active members of the royal family will be there. Prince Charles and his wife Camilla will therefore be there, as will Prince Edward and his wife Sophie and Prince William and Kate Middleton. On the other hand, Prince Harry, who promised his grandmother to keep a low profile, will only be present at the traditional mass.
