Queen Elizabeth II has finally met her great-granddaughter Lilibet, Page Six has learned. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their baby girl to meet the 96-year-old monarch at Windsor Castle on Friday evening, just hours before Lili’s first birthday. We’re told the royal family plans to commemorate the tot’s birth with a private celebration on Saturday. Queen Elizabeth II has withdrawn from a second Platinum Jubilee event. Buckingham Palace announced Friday that the 96-year-old monarch will not attend Saturday’s Epsom Derby amid her health issues. This will be only the third time over the course of the Queen’s unprecedented 70-year reign that she has missed the horse race in Surrey, England.Queen Elizabeth finally meets Harry and Meghan’s daughter Lilibet

The Queen was unable to attend due to mobility issues and “discomfort” after yesterday’s Trooping the Colour balcony appearance, but her family came out in full force to honor their matriarch.
Kate Middleton looked sunny in a gorgeous yellow dress with a criss-cross waist — a custom piece by Emilia Wickstead — and a matching buttercup-colored hat with floral detail by Philip Treacy as she was joined by husband Prince William for the tribute to her grandmother-in-law.
Meghan Markle returned to royal life with a bang (and some boos).
On Friday morning, the former “Suits” star and her husband, Prince Harry, attended the Platinum Jubilee Thanksgiving service at St. Paul’s Cathedral alongside the royal family.
Markle, 40, looked marvelous in a Dior Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2022 set, wearing a long cream belted trench coat with a wool skirt and an organza shirt.
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson never attempted to keep up with the royal family, contrary to a report claiming the couple were denied tickets to the Platinum Jubilee.
A rep for Kardashian tells Page Six exclusively that the Skims founder “didn’t even ask to go” to Queen Elizabeth II’s historic event and actually returned to Los Angeles on Wednesday — the day before the festivities began — for a pre-planned cover shoot.
It’s not just the royal family giving them a frosty reception.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were loudly booed Friday while returning together to royal events in the UK for the first time in two years.
A small cheer initially greeted the exiled royal couple’s exit from St Paul’s Cathedral — just to be quickly drowned out by a chorus of shouted boos, video shows.
Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Pete Davidson touched down in London earlier this week in hopes of attending some of the royal festivities in honor of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee — but have been twice denied tickets to any official events.
The pair reportedly were turned down by both the Palace and the BBC, which is broadcasting the various events.
"There are some tickets you just can't buy," a source told the Sun.
She's a royal record breaker.
Not only is Queen Elizabeth II the only British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, but she is also the most-traveled monarch in history.
In honor of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations this weekend, the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office shared a video celebrating her nearly 300 official visits overseas.
The video was shared around 11 a.m. GMT, around the time that members of the royal family were arriving at St. Paul's Cathedral for the Service of Thanksgiving. While the Queen stayed home due to "discomfort" from yesterday's festivities, Prince Charles, his sons, Princes William and Harry, and their wives were all in attendance.
It seems like not all is well in the House of Windsor. Brothers Prince William and Prince Harry -- who have famously been on the outs since the latter announced he was stepping down from royal duties in 2020 -- avoided eye contact during the Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral.
The once-close pair sat with their wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, on opposite sides of the aisle in the giant church, narrowly avoiding what many hoped would be a public showdown.
Members of the royal family came out in droves for the Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday morning.
Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, were the last to arrive. They were preceded by Princes William and Harry, as well Princess Anne and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Members of the royal family got situated inside St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday morning ahead of the Service of Thanksgiving in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.
In addition to the royals, major elected British politicians also attend the Service of Thanksgiving in honor of Queen Elizabeth, including many former prime ministers.
The politicians were among a number of honored guests at the service, which also included 400 essential workers, volunteers, and members of the armed forces.
