Royal Family News: The Real Reason Queen Elizabeth Spent Only A Few Minutes With Baby Lilibet?

British royal family news reveals that Queen Elizabeth did not spend an inordinate amount of time with her great-granddaughter and namesake Lili during the Platinum Jubilee. After all, the four day bank holiday was all about her, not Lili’s parents Harry and Meghan who outed the royals for not coming to her birthday party. Did they not know the Queen was celebrating 70 years as monarch, with festivities planned in advance? Silly Markle’s.

According to royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti there was a good reason why the queen could not spend loads of time with the American-born youngster. He told Us Weekly, “She was working very hard to maintain her strength. I think it’s totally understandable that she was saving her energy as best she could for all the events that she wanted to be at if she possibly could.”

In fact, the 96-year old queen was seen on just two of the four days, owing to mobility issues and general “discomfort.”

Royal Family News – The Markle’s Were Booed

The Markle’s infamously fled the tragic kingdom two years ago and have been trash talking his family and the monarchy ever since. When they appeared on day two at St. Paul’s Cathedral, they were booed.

An insider told Us of the meet-up, “Harry and Meghan visited the queen at Windsor Castle with Lilibet and Archie.” Due to the brevity of the meeting, speculation began that, “tensions are still high between Harry and his relatives, but Sacerdoti doesn’t think that’s the case.”

The royal expert told the outlet, “We’re talking about someone in their 90s and a baby.” He also noted that Her Majesty was not able to attend many of her own jubilee events. “We saw that she did manage to appear several times in public, and that’s great.”
