Queen Elizabeth is a doting great-grandmother in addition to being a monarch. “The queen is in her element when she’s got her great-grandchildren sitting on her lap and having that family time,” a royal expert recently told Us Weekly. So one would imagine she’d be over the moon at the thought of seeing Prince Harry’s children over her Platinum Jubilee weekend. She has yet to meet little Lili, and she hasn’t seen 3-year-old Archie in person since he was a baby.
But royal biographer Angela Levin thinks the Sussexes should have picked a better time for a family reunion. “I think it is wrong for them to bring their small children over at this time,” she recently told GB News (via The Express). “The Queen is going to be very heavily in demand.” Levin added that Harry and Meghan should have been more considerate. “It will be hard for her because she doesn’t have the energy nor the mobility,” she said. “To have small children, who don’t know her, coming around for tea is another burden on her.”
Like other anti-Harry pundits, Levin thinks their Jubilee trip is just an attention-getting ploy. “They could have come any time before now, and done it quietly and nicely, and that would have been a very special and intimate family event,” she said. “But with so much going on during the Jubilee, it is just the wrong time.”
