Queen Elizabeth BANNED Photos Of Her First Meeting With Granddaughter Lilibet!?

Elton John has been a close friend of the royal family for decades - and is privy to many of their well-kept secrets.

To mark their daughter Lilibet’s first birthday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released a brand new official picture of the little one earlier this week - much to the delight of their fans. Lillibet, who celebrated the occasion with a birthday party at Frogmore Cottage, looked adorable as she showed off her gorgeous strawberry-blonde hair and light blue and white dress. Speaking of the joyous occasion, a spokesperson for the Sussexes was able to reveal that the family had celebrated with a “casual intimate backyard picnic”.

Royal fans have highlighted the close resemblance they believe Princess Charlotte and Lilibet have to their grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales. Comparisons between the cousins and the late monarch were sparked after a fan account named @loveprincessdiana, which was created in memory of the Princess of Wales, posted several side-by-side baby photos of the Royals.

From teenage crush, to the father of her children, and her loyal companion for decades on the throne - nobody did more to support The Queen than Prince Philip. As the Queen’s former press secretary Dickie Arbiter tells us: "She first fell in love with Philip in 1939 when she met him aged just 13.That was 82 years ago, and he turned out to be the only man in her life." As well as taking on a host of royal duties, the duke – who was 99 when he died last April – provided unfaltering personal support to the Queen.

Prince William and Kate Middleton made virtually 'no effort' to introduce their children to Lilibet Diana during the Platinum Jubilee, according to a royal expert.Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's one-year-old daughter and her brother Archie accompanied the Sussexes during their four-day trip to the UK last week.

This is honestly just a bummer.

I call bulls–t on that one,” one Twitter user said.

Queen as a "sister", and British Eurovision winner Sam Ryder seemed to fit the bill, some viewers were confused when Alicia belted out 'Empire State Of Mind' at the event, as the song is about New York."I mean I love Alicia Keys and this song BUT WHAT is an AMERICAN doing at the PLATINUM JUBILEE CONCERT singing about NEW YORK?????" one fan, @Magdalena_0319, tweeted in confusion.She exclaimed that Robbie Williams, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney or even Gary Barlow would have been a better choice than American Alicia.The songstress also took to the stage for soulful renditions of City of Gods, Superwoman and Girl On Fire.However her theme, according to some viewers, didn't "encapsulate our Queen"."Call me old fashioned, but why is Alicia Keys singing about NY when she is celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in LONDON?" concurred @Honestlnjim."Alicia Keys and New York – my fave song but one that doesn't exactly scream the Queen and jubilee tbf," joked @janemartinson.Meanwhile @bracealmighty exclaimed: "BBC: Have you got any songs that really encapsulate our Queen, that sum up her time on the throne and that really celebrate her 70 years running our country?"ALICIA KEYS: Yep…*plays opening notes to New York*#PlatinumPartyatthePalace."While it might have seemed an unusual way to celebrate the Queen's seven decade reign on a British throne, it turned out there was a reason - Her Majesty herself had requested it.Even Alicia's 12-year-old son Egypt weighed in with his own opinion, declaring solemnly that it was "against the law" not to obey the Queen.In her behind the scenes video capturing all the action from the big day, she told the world: "[I’m] telling the boys that the Queen requested the songs that I’m singing, and they

When Prince Harry and Megan Markle asked the Queen for a photograph of their young daughter Lilibet’s first meeting with the monarch, she reportedly gave a simple two word response. After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew to the UK to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on 2 June, it is said they were hoping for a private photographer to capture the moment their child met her great-grandmother for the first time. Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, who is named after a nickname of Queen Elizabeth II, turned one during the extended weekend celebrations.

The Queen "would have loved to see" her great grandchildren Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis playing with Archie and Lilibet, a royal expert says. George, eight, Charlotte, seven, and Louis, four, were in the same place as three year old Archie and new cousin, Lilibet, one, for the first time since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the United States over the Jubilee weekend.

Prince Harry is "absolutely furious" with the royals and wants an apology for how he was treated during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, according to an expert. Angela Levin claims the Duke of Sussex didn't check Prince William's diary before he went back to the US with Meghan Markle and their children Lilibet and Archie.

Gatekeep queen. Queen Elizabeth banned Lilibet photos from being taken. The British monarch met with her great-granddaughter during her Platinum Jubilee. However, she forbid photos of her and her namesake together.

The Queen had a simple but harsh two word response to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's request to photograph her first meeting with great grand-daughter Lillibet.

After the exciting festivities of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebration weekend, it’s time to revisit iconic music dedicated to the royals.

Prince Harry and Camilla Parker Bowles biographer dropped the bombshell Tuesday during an appearance on the British talk show “GB News,” The Daily Mail reported.“I heard Netflix wanted these pictures of them with the royals,” Levin said of the alleged photo bombing of a different sort. “Because they would have sold it.

Platinum Jubilee concert on June 4.The “No One” crooner, 41, performed her hits “Empire State of Mind,” “Girl on Fire” and “Superwoman.” However, British viewers were especially confused when Keys decided to harmonize her 2009 single, a love letter to New York City, on a London stage.The Manhattan native took to social media on Monday and revealed in a behind-the-scenes featurette that the 96-year-old monarch herself “personally” requested the concert’s playlist.“Telling the boys that the Queen requested the songs that I’m singing,” she said in her clip as she lounged with her sons Egypt, 11, and Genesis, 7, in a golf cart. “And they were like, ‘You can’t refuse the Queen.'”“You can’t refuse the Queen.

Even the Queen of England loves that concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have risked making their Netflix bosses “cross” by not getting any pictures of Lilibet with the Queen during their Jubilee visit, a critic has claimed.During their recent trip to the UK, there was no official confirmation on whether the Queen had finally met her great-granddaughter Lilibet, though reports of a meeting circulated shortly after the Trooping the Colour ceremony.In the absence of any pictures of Lilibet and the Queen, Harry and Meghan released a picture taken of their daughter at Frogmore Cottage to mark her first birthday.However, speaking to GB News, royal critic Angela Levin has claimed that these adorable snaps might not be sufficient to satisfy the couple’s Netflix bosses, who she suggested had been keen on footage of a royal meeting with the Queen.“They wanted to see the Queen as soon as possible, so she saw them on the first day… And they asked if he could take a picture of the two Lilibets, and she said, ‘no, absolutely not possible’,” she claimed.Angela suggested that this was the correct decision, explaining: “Because they would have sold it and used it for Netflix.

Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle left the UK in 2019 – which is when they also stepped down as working Royals. It had been hoped that the four-day-long celebrations in honour of Her Majesty's 70 years on the throne would have thawed the ice between them, but according to author and royal expert Omid Scobie, that couldn't be further from the truth.

Fans of Meghan Markle and Harry believe they have cracked the case of baby Lilibet's adorable blue birthday dress, but to a sad conclusion. The company thought to be behind the toddler's first birthday frock has recently gone out of business, with California-based designer Isabel Garreton having founded the firm more than 30 years ago.
