Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter Lilibet is set to meet her namesake! This week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will make their first return to the U.K. — with their two children, Archie, 3, and 11-month-old Lilibet -- in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
The Sussex’s return will fall on the week of Lilibet’s first birthday, freeing up the opportunity for the queen to meet her great-granddaughter for the first time. A source tells ET that the 96-year-old monarch will not attend the Epsom Derby on Saturday, which leaves time for her to meet her great-granddaughter. “The Queen is not likely to attend the Epsom Derby which falls on Lilibet's first birthday, June 4, which will free her up to meet her great-granddaughter for the first time,” the source says. “Queen Elizabeth, who has been experiencing episodic mobility problems, has been spending the past weekend at Balmoral to rest ahead of the Platinum Jubilee festivities.
The decision to miss the Derby is due to the Queen pacing herself,” the source adds. Prince William and Kate Middleton will not be available to meet Meghan and Harry’s baby girl, as they will be in Wales on Saturday, at an engagement at Cardiff Castle. Meghan, 40, and Harry, 37, welcomed their daughter in 2021, almost a year after they stepped down from their positions as senior royals and moved to Santa Barbara, California.
Harry and Meghan honored the duke’s grandmother and mother by naming their daughter Lilibet Diana. The family’s return for the four-day Platinum Jubilee celebrations will mark the first time they have visited since stepping down as senior royals in 2020.
