Lilibet Diana: Archie's little sister not about to see the UK!
It is possible that the granddaughter of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Lilibet Diana, may not come to the UK before Christmas or even Trooping the Color 2022. That is to say that the royal family will meet for the first time this new little being in about six months thus destroying the hopes of a baptism with his relatives.
Another news that will not delight the Crown. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their second child and first granddaughter, Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor to their family less than two weeks ago. She is the first of Elizabeth II's great-grandchildren to be born abroad since the Duchess of Sussex gave her life in California, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Since her birth, there has been a lot of speculation about the small family returning to the UK for the christening of Lilibet Diana. But according to information from the Express, that seems unlikely.
First, the coronavirus pandemic has made international travel very difficult. And second, conflicts between royalty do not make a courtesy visit easy without first attempting to mitigate them. Which therefore means that the royal family will undoubtedly have to be satisfied with seeing the new member of the family via video exchanges. But also, his non-arrival in the United Kingdom will not allow his baptism. A heavy blow for the Queen, who is the head of the Church of England and a deeply devout Christian in her personal life.
According to Royal Daily Mirror editor Russel Myers, Lilibet Diana is not ready to visit those around her. Maybe at Christmas or even at Trooping the Color in June of next year. He also suggested the royals could head to California for a sunny holiday season at the sprawling Sussex mansion. But it's hard to imagine Her Majesty breaking the long-standing tradition of celebrating Christmas at Sandringham. We still have to wait 6 months before knowing.
Meghan Markle has no plans to return to UK
Designated as the surprise guest of the inauguration of a statue of Diana, scheduled for July 1 at Kensington Palace, Meghan Markle finally fails. According to journalist Victoria Ward's tweet: "The Duchess of Sussex will not be traveling to the UK to join Harry at the unveiling of his late mother's statue." For the simple reason that she has just given birth to their baby girl Lilibet Diana. To see Meghan again alongside the royal family, it will therefore be necessary to wait.
