Queen may never meet Lilibet

Prince Harry has apparently taken away the Queen's smile by confirming that he won't travel to the UK to attend Prince Philip's memorial this month.

The Duke of Sussex's decision has cast doubt on whether the Queen will ever meet her great-granddaughter Lilibet, who was born in California last June. 

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has shared his thoughts on the much-talked topic with a media outlet, saying: "It's increasingly unlikely."

On whether the 95-year-old monarch will ever meet Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, Fitzwilliams told The Sun: "It's increasingly unlikely.

"If they don't bring Lili over, then obviously that won't happen.

"It's all something that's clearly not going to be resolved in the foreseeable future. And it doesn't seem like they're going to come over."

Fitzwilliams comments come after Prince Harry confirmed he will not return to the UK for Prince Philip's memorial service later this month.
