Paying her respects in Texas, Markle was dressed incognito in a simple T shirt, jeans and ballcap, but nevertheless sported on her left wrist a $6,900 Cartier Love Bracelet and Princess Diana's $23,000 Cartier Tank Watch.

Lilibet, this is the other Lilibet: Queen 'will finally meet Harry and Meghan's daughter for her first birthday party' on Saturday after monarch clears diary because she will be 'unable to go to the Derby'

    The Queen is likely to miss her favourite sporting event, the Derby, on Saturday and meet Lillibet instead
    It's becoming 'increasingly unlikely' that the Queen can to travel to Epsom as all three of her horses pulled out
    Lilibet's first birthday party is set to take place at Frogmore Cottage, where Harry and Meghan will be staying

The Queen will meet the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's daughter Lilibet for the first time at the soon-to-be one-year-old's birthday party during Jubilee celebrations.

The 96-year-old monarch, who Lilibet is named after, is likely to miss her favourite sporting event, the Derby horse races at Epsom, for the little one's birthday.

Since she was born on 4 June 2021, parents Prince Harry and Meghan have only been to the UK once, in a fleeting visit where they made a detour to see Her Majesty while on their way to the Invictus Games in The Hague in April.

Her first birthday is set to be celebrated at Frogmore Cottage next Saturday, just a stone's throw away from Windsor Castle. Princess Eugenie and her family have vacated the Cottage ahead of their arrival'

In their first trip to the UK with Archie and Lilibet, Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, are going to stay at the property during their four-day trip over to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Baby Lilibet, was born in California unlike her brother Archie, three, who was born at London's Portland Hospital, a Royal favourite. The Queen met Archie two days after he was born on 6 May 2019.

I can't imagine how tireseome being in the spotlight and following restrictive protocols ALL of the time must become every now and then.  I think this photo almost captures it.  (Love the gown)

When Lilibet meets little Lilibet... the picture that might yet heal the royal rift: One of the Queen's favourite photos is of her meeting newborn Archie. Now there's an even more poignant moment approaching, writes RICHARD KAY

By Richard Kay for the Daily Mail

Published: 17:04 EDT, 1 June 2022 | Updated: 17:31 EDT, 1 June 2022

   

Not for the first time in the Queen’s long reign, all eyes will be on the Buckingham Palace balcony at lunchtime today as the Trooping the Colour ceremony makes way for the ear-splitting roar of an RAF flypast.

Over the years, this tableau has offered an engrossing glimpse of who’s in and who’s out, as once-familiar figures were shuffled to the margins of royal life.

This time, howver, the spectacle is set to be rivalled by another event, with far more riding on the outcome.

I am so disappointed.  I was hoping that the Sussex's wouldn't be in attendance.

Now that they are attending, it will be interesting to see what their kids look like.  I'm curious because not many pictures have been circulated of them.

Platinum Jubilee: Who will be with the Queen on the balcony?

From royal wedding kisses to celebrations at the end of wars, the balcony at Buckingham Palace in London has been the stage for national moments since Queen Victoria first stepped out there in 1851.

For the Platinum Jubilee, the balcony will once again provide the photo frame for a big occasion, with Queen Elizabeth II and 17 other members of the Royal Family due to appear on Thursday after Trooping the Colour.

"There's been a lot of chat about who is going to be there and who is not," says Pauline Maclaran of the Centre for the Study of Modern Monarchy at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Only "working royals" and their children will appear, which excludes the Queen's son Prince Andrew, and her grandson Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex....................

When is it? 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET (10 a.m. to 1 a.m. local time)

What is it? Trooping the Color is a ceremonial parade that honors the British sovereign's birthday.

While the queen turned 96 on April 21, her birthday is always celebrated nationally in June — usually on the month's second Saturday.

While celebrations have annually for the past 260 years, this year's Trooping the Color is special because it aligns with the Platinum Jubilee.

During the parade, the queen will travel by horse and carriage out of Buckingham Palace, down the Mall and to the Horses Guard Parade. The event will feature nearly 1,500 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians.

It all culminates in a "balcony moment," with the queen and her family waving from Buckingham Palace.

How to watch: SkyNews will stream the event through their YouTube channel, and it will be covered on NBC News as well as other networks, like ABC.

I sure hope the media doesn't help these two grifters suck all the oxygen out of the events.

She’s been Queen longer or as long as some of us have been alive.

Seriously, how many people who are alive can really say they remember her father  King George VI?

Not many. You would pretty much have to be an octogenarian or older.or at least 75, right?

*Slimmed down Royal Family line-up joined the Queen on Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour

*Just 17 working royals were invited, compared to the 40 who were present last time event was held in 2019

*Queen made the decision to include only working royals in order to avoid awkwardness over Prince Andrew

*Also avoided any issues around Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, who watched Trooping the Colour
