Queen Elizabeth Meets Princess Beatrice’s Daughter Sienna Before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Second Child

Queen Elizabeth made a special visit to meet her newest great-grandchild, Sienna Elizabeth, the daughter of Princess Beatrice, according to reports.

The Queen was spotted on her way to church in Windsor, marking her first public appearance since the beginning of the pandemic.

It is believed that she may have stopped by Prince Andrew's residence, where Princess Beatrice and Sienna reside, on her way back home.

Sienna Elizabeth, who shares her middle name with the Queen, was reportedly named after her great-grandmother.

The meeting between the Queen and her great-granddaughter took place at Windsor Castle, where the Queen returned after spending several weeks at Balmoral Castle.

This encounter was described as a bittersweet moment for Princess Beatrice, as she had initially planned to name her daughter Lily, only to discover that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had chosen the same name for their own daughter.

Princess Beatrice found solace in the fact that the Queen decided to meet her daughter before meeting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's child.

However, it seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be following the royal tradition of a christening for their daughter Lilibet.

In contrast, Princess Beatrice's new baby, Sienna, is expected to have a traditional royal christening in the near future.

The decision to raise Lilibet in the United States alongside her older brother Archie means that she is unlikely to have a traditional royal christening.

This has raised concerns that it may be seen as a snub to the royal family, especially when compared to Princess Beatrice's child, who is set to have a christening ceremony.

Princess Beatrice, her husband Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Sienna, who reside at St. James's Palace in London, are anticipated to visit the Queen for this special occasion.

Due to the Queen's reluctance to travel abroad, particularly during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it is highly unlikely that she will be present for Lilibet's christening in the United States.

This further emphasizes the contrast between the two families and their approach to royal traditions.

Rumors of tension between Meghan Markle and Princess Beatrice have circulated in recent weeks.

Some reports suggest that Princess Beatrice feels used by Markle, while others claim that she is upset with Prince Harry and Markle for overshadowing Princess Eugenie's wedding and pregnancy announcement.

The timing of the Sussexes' own pregnancy announcements coinciding with important moments for Princess Eugenie has allegedly caused friction within the family.

Royal expert Daniela Elza believes that the christening of Lilibet could either improve or worsen Prince Harry's relationship with his family.

The location of the ceremony, whether in the United States or back in the UK, will play a significant role in determining the outcome.

If the Sussexes choose to have the christening in the UK, it could be seen as an olive branch after years of discord within the family.

However, recent reports suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have abandoned their plans to have Lilibet christened at Windsor Castle.

Instead, it is now more likely that they will opt for a ceremony in California.

Despite previous speculation about a christening in the UK, sources have confirmed that it is highly unlikely to happen.

The Episcopal Church of the US is now being considered as the venue for Lilibet's christening.

This decision indicates that the Sussexes are leaning towards a stateside affair rather than a traditional royal christening in the UK.

The Queen, who is yet to meet her great-granddaughter, will not be present at the ceremony.

In conclusion, Queen Elizabeth's meeting with Princess Beatrice's daughter Sienna Elizabeth marked a significant moment for the family.

However, the differing approaches to royal traditions between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Princess Beatrice have become apparent.

While Sienna is expected to have a traditional royal christening, Lilibet's christening will likely take place in California, further highlighting the contrast in their choices.
