With the 95-year-old queen’s recent health struggles and Prince Harry reportedly refusing to attend his grandfather’s memorial at Westminster Abbey with his children, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun that he believes it’s very “unlikely” that Queen Elizabeth II will ever meet Lilibet Diana.
“I think it’s a great pity, what this means is it regrettable the rift will remain unhealed,” Fitzwilliams said. “If they don’t bring Lili over, then obviously that won’t happen. It’s all something that’s clearly not going to be resolved in the foreseeable future. And it doesn’t seem like they’re going to come over.”
Another royal expert even sees Harry’s actions as tantamount to a child throwing a tantrum. “He has got this all wrong,” said royal biographer Angela Levin, per Daily Mail. “If he comes over for a royal event he gets police protection. What they won’t do is, if he goes out with his friends he gets security. He’ll probably use this same excuse to try to get out of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations,” she said. Only time will tell if Harry and his children make the trip back to his homeland.
