The Queen’s new Meghan and Harry Jubilee ban revealed

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly told a firm “no” when they tried to do one thing on their Jubilee trip to Windsor Castle.

The Queen banned Harry and Meghan from bringing a photographer into Windsor Castle to capture the moment Lilibet met Lilibet.

The Sussexes introduced their daughter Lilibet to her great-grandmother for the first time on Thursday afternoon, The Sun understands.

They wanted to bring a private snapper in to capture their first face-to-face meeting but were told “no”.

Lilibet was controversially named after the Queen’s childhood nickname, causing a storm amid claims Her Majesty was “told, not asked” about the decision.

Then the Sussex family flew back to California on Sunday afternoon without a snap.

There were fears any photos of the Queen and Lilibet taken by the couple’s photographer would be shared by them with US TV networks.

They were kept at arm’s length by the royals during the Platinum Jubilee and left without any public appearances alongside the Queen, Charles, Camilla, William or Kate.

An insider said: “Harry and Meghan wanted their photographer to capture the moment Lilibet met the Queen.

“But they were told no chance. It was a private family meeting.”

Buckingham Palace did not want to comment.

The couple had agreed to stick to the script to keep a low profile for the weekend, with no Netflix cameras.

And they were relegated to second row royal status at the Queen’s Thanksgiving Service at St Paul’s on Friday.

Harry looked less than pleased when photographed after landing back in the US yesterday.

The Queen’s refusal to be photographed with Lilibet comes as Harry and Meghan reportedly invited Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children to Lilibet’s first birthday party as an olive branch – but the family did not attend.
