Queen Elizabeth to meet her great granddaughter for first time

96-year-old Queen Elizabeth is expected to meet her almost one-year-old great granddaughter, as the monarch’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations kick off

Lilibet is Harry and Meghan’s second child, and will turn one while the family is in the UK, with a gathering being held at Frogmore Cottage, just near Windsor Castle.

The Queen is expected to miss this year’s upcoming Derby Day race meeting, which just so happens to fall on Lilibet’s birthday, which she will likely attend instead.

It will be the third time in the Queen’s reign she will miss the key race meet, with three of her horses pulling out last-minute.

Harry and Meghan caused quite a stir when naming their second child, after reportedly “telling, not asking” the Queen they were naming Lilibet after her.

As the Platinum Jubilee’s events kick off, Queen Elizabeth’s aides are making every attempt to manage Her Majesty’s diary, as she battles mobility issues.

In March, she had a 62,000 pound golf buggy delivered to help, featuring hi-tech ad-ons such as a fridge and entertainment screen.

She also had a lift installed at Balmoral Castle.
