Title: Queen Elizabeth Denies Harry and Meghan’s Request for Official Photo with Lilibet

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, recently made a trip back to the UK from their California home to attend the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

During their visit, they reportedly brought along their children, Archie and Lilibet.

However, it has been revealed that the palace denied their request for a photo opportunity capturing the moment Lilibet met the Queen.

According to a source cited by The Sun, Harry and Meghan wanted their own photographer to capture the special moment, but they were informed that it was a private family meeting and no photos would be allowed.

Undeterred, Prince Harry persisted in requesting a professional photograph of the two Lilibets together at some point in the future.

Journalist Camilla Tomini, writing for The Telegraph, reported that when the Sussexes made another attempt to arrange a photo session at Windsor Castle, the Queen refused their request.

She claimed to have a bloodshot eye and skillfully denied them the opportunity they desired.

Unfortunately, this would be the last chance for such a photo, as the Queen passed away three months later.

Royal fans speculate that Queen Elizabeth, upon realizing Meghan Markle's intentions to merge connections, decided to refuse any further photos.

It is said that the Queen did not even attend Archie's christening and declined a photo of Lilibet, using her eye condition as an excuse.

Currently, the only existing photo of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip with Archie is the famous picture taken in St George's Hall shortly after his birth.

It is worth noting that Meghan Markle had made a secret deal with Gayle King and CBS News for the timing of the photo release to coincide with the start of a morning show.

BBC and ITV were excluded from this arrangement.

At this point, Meghan and Harry were primarily working with Sunshine Sachs and their own PR team, setting up deals in the USA.

They disregarded the advice of their royal office staffers and refused to release details about the birth, disclose the names of the godparents, or engage with the royal rota except through chosen media outlets.

This has led to speculation that Archie may have been born via a surrogate and that the agreement with CBS was made after his birth.

Furthermore, there have been unusual conspiracy theories surrounding the picture of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip with Archie.

Some individuals on social media claim that the photo is fake.

One user on Quora, named Sue Kelly, asserted that the Queen's outfit in the photo was worn at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, where she and Prince Philip were looking at a foal.

Another user agreed, suggesting that the Queen and Prince Philip were superimposed onto the photo, and the original image was from a horse show.

While these theories may circulate online, it is important to note that the authenticity of the photo has not been officially disputed.

Nevertheless, it is clear that Harry and Meghan's desire for official photos with their children was met with resistance from the royal family.

In a separate interview, Harry acknowledged a mistake he made regarding the timeline of Archie's growth, initially stating that babies change significantly over two weeks when it had only been two days.

He attributed the error to lack of sleep, clarifying his statement and taking responsibility for the confusion.

As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to navigate their new roles outside of the royal family, their interactions with the Queen and the rest of the royal family remain under scrutiny.

The denied photo opportunity serves as another chapter in the ongoing narrative surrounding Harry and Meghan's relationship with the monarchy.
