Queen spent just 15 minutes with Harry and Meghan during Platinum Jubilee

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were permitted only a ‘formal 15-minute meeting’ with the Queen during the Jubilee when she met Lilibet, according to a source.

The Queen met Prince Harry and Meghan for just 15 minutes when they returned to the UK for her Platinum Jubilee, according to inside reports.

The couple’s meeting with the monarch — who was introduced to their daughter Lilibet, one, for the first time — was kept “formal” by Buckingham Palace aides.

Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, who were also with son Archie, three, saw the Queen at Windsor on Thursday, June 2, as the Jubilee celebrations got under way.

According to The Sun, a source said: “It was a quick in and out job. It was all quite formal.”

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

The Sun had previously reported that the Sussexes were banned from bringing a photographer to Windsor Castle to capture the moment The Queen met her namesake Lilibet.

The pair were then kept at arm’s length by senior royals during the Jubilee.

They jetted back to California last Sunday before the Platinum Jubilee celebrations had finished and Harry was soon seeing playing polo again back home in California.

Prince William and Kate, meanwhile, were left taking centre stage at the star-studded Jubilee pageant, with Prince Louis stealing the show.

While the Sussexes settle back into life in Montecito, California the Cambridges are expected to move to a house on the Windsor Estate this summer.

Until now, the recently refurbished Adelaide Cottage was understood to be the family’s first choice when they moved from London to Berkshire. But The Sunday Times reports the Cambridges could move into “the big house,” as Prince Charles does not plan to spend as much time at Windsor Castle as the Queen when he is King.
