The Queen reportedly banned Harry and Meghan from having a photographer snap the Monarch meeting her great-granddaughter Lilibet for the first time.

The 96-year-old is said to have met Harry and Meghan’s daughter on Thursday.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted a private photographer to capture the moment their daughter met her namesake, The Sun reported.

However, they were allegedly told ‘no chance’ because it was a ‘private family meeting’.

Palace insiders may have worried any photos taken by Harry and Meghan would be shared with TV networks in the US.

The Sussexes’ relationship with the Queen was said to have been damaged when the couple reportedly ‘told not asked’ the Monarch that their daughter would be called Lilibet, which was Her Majesty’s nickname as a child. 

It comes as Harry and Meghan were reported to have left the UK and flown back to America an hour before the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration ended.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen for the last time in public on Friday at the Thanksgiving service in St Paul’s Cathedral before they flew back home when the Jubilee Pageant started on Sunday.

The couple, who have been largely absent from the fanfare, spent a lot of time at Frogmore Cottage during their stay and hosted a ‘relaxed’ party for Lilibet’s first birthday at the Windsor residence.

They did not attend the Platinum Party and stayed in Windsor alongside the Queen to reportedly watch the concert with Her Majesty.

MailOnline has contacted Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes for comment.
