Prince Harry was "persistent" in his attempts to get a photo of daughter Lilibet with the late Queen, claims one royal expert.

During the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Harry and Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family for their first events since stepping down as senior royals.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex brought their two children - Archie, three, and Lilibet, one - from California to the UK for the events and to meet their extended family.The Queen met her 11th great-grandchild Lilibet for the first time in a 'very private' encounter at Frogmore Cottage earlier this summer, and was reunited with Archie after not seeing him for two years.

At this meeting, both Harry and Meghan were keen to get an official snap of their daughter with her great-grandmother, reports the Mirror.This request was rejected at the time as the Queen reportedly had had a bloodshot eye, but now writing in The Telegraph, royal expert Camilla Tominey claims Harry was "persistent" in wanting a photo to be taken.She says: "When the couple made another beeline for Windsor Castle, travelling straight there after landing at Farnborough Airport, she refused their request to have professional photographs taken with Archie, three, and her namesake Lilibet, one."Claiming she had a bloodshot eye, she adroitly denied the Sussexes the photo opportunity they craved."Harry was 'persistent', according to those party to the meeting, expressing a desire to get an official snap of the two Lilibets together at some point in the future.
