In a touching moment shortly after Princess Lilibet‘s birth, Princess Kate shared her heartfelt sentiments for her niece.
Just days after Lilibet entered the world in June 2021, the Princess of Wales expressed her hopes and excitement about meeting her newest family member.
As the second child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Lilibet has an older brother named Archie, who is now five years old.
Despite earlier claims by Harry that his late grandmother had met Lilibet during the Platinum Jubilee festivities in 2022, it remains uncertain whether the baby royal has actually met her uncle and aunt.
When asked about Lilibet shortly after her birth, Kate responded graciously, demonstrating her warmth and enthusiasm.
During a visit to Cornwall alongside Jill Biden, Kate was questioned about her then-newborn niece.
With genuine excitement, she said, “I wish her all the very best.
I am so excited to meet her.”
This simple yet sweet statement encapsulated her feelings perfectly.
Kate’s charming ten-word wish, “We haven’t met yet.
That should happen shortly, I hope,” highlights her eagerness to connect with Lilibet.
It’s clear that family ties remain important, even amid the distance created by Harry and Meghan’s move to California.
Interestingly, there’s no official word on whether William, Kate, or their children have had the chance to meet Lilibet.
Royal writer Danielle Stacey from Hello!
suggests that it’s possible the family had some private moments with their niece during her first visit to the UK for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.
However, the details surrounding this potential meeting remain vague.
Harry’s memoir, Spare, primarily focuses on his children’s reunion with their grandmother, not on any interactions with their cousins.
This leaves fans speculating about the nature of the family connections.
There were rumors that William and Kate invited Harry and Meghan to Lilibet’s birthday celebration at Frogmore Cottage during the Jubilee events, which coincided with Lilibet’s first birthday.
However, it appears that scheduling conflicts prevented them from attending the gathering.
Lilibet’s first birthday party took place on June 4, 2022, at her parents’ former home in Windsor.
Unfortunately, the event clashed with public engagements that William, Kate, and their children had in Cardiff that same day.
Despite the physical distance, the royal family’s affection for one another remains evident.
