Queen Refuses to Take Picture with Lily, Thwarting Meghan and Harry’s Plan to Profit

In a surprising turn of events, Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly declined to pose for a photograph with her great-granddaughter, Lilibet, effectively sabotaging Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's alleged scheme to monetize the image.

According to a renowned royal photographer, fears that such a picture might overshadow the Queen's upcoming plans are the reason behind this decision.

As the nation eagerly awaits the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend celebrations, preparations are underway for Meghan and Harry to introduce their children, Archie and Lilibet, to the monarch.

While Queen Elizabeth was present at Archie's royal christening in July 2019, she has yet to meet her newest great-grandchild.

However, those hoping for a glimpse of this momentous meeting have been cautioned not to expect an influx of photographs.

A royal expert has suggested that the focus will likely be on other events during the Jubilee celebrations, rather than the family gathering.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards, who had previously penned a letter urging the Sussexes not to divert attention from the Queen, remains steadfast in his belief.

“If they publish a picture when the Queen meets Lilibet, that will overshadow everything else,” Edwards expressed candidly during an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored.

“It will undermine the Queen's efforts to make appearances and disrupt the entire event.

I hope they don't bring a photographer to capture the moment, but even if they do, I doubt the Queen will allow it.”

However, not everyone on the panel shares Edwards' viewpoint.

Katie Nicholl, royal editor of Vanity Fair, offered a different perspective, highlighting the Queen's remarkable capacity for forgiveness.

Nicholl believes that this forgiving nature will extend to the Sussexes, suggesting that tensions may ease over time.

In an unrelated development, it has been announced that Harry and Meghan will not be included in the Royal Balcony appearance during the upcoming Trooping the Colour parade on June 2.

Buckingham Palace recently clarified that only working members of the royal family will participate in this event.

This decision comes after footage from a 2019 event appeared to show Harry instructing Meghan to turn around on the Royal Balcony, possibly indicating that the national anthem was about to begin.

In other news, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie and Lilibet, will not be in attendance at the Queen's Thanksgiving ceremony.

During a segment on the Jeremy Vine show, presenter Storm Huntley revealed that the Sussexes, along with Prince Andrew, will join the Queen for the ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral on the morning of June 3.

Huntley also mentioned that this will be the only event Prince Andrew will attend.

Notably, both Harry and Meghan will participate as private individuals, as they are no longer working senior members of the royal family.

Huntley further explained that Archie and Lilibet will not be present due to their young age, but some of the older grandchildren will attend.
