Queen Elizabeth passed away in 2022. But Prince Harry will always remember the time she spent with his two children, Archie and Lilibet.
Prince Harry talked about the lovely encounter his two young children, Lilibet and Archie, had with Queen Elizabeth II just before her passing.
Despite the family rivalry that erupted in the last years of Queen Elizabeth II’s life, Prince Harry and his late grandmother shared a close relationship. At 96 years old, the Queen passed away. During a voyage back to the UK, Harry revealed the last moments the late monarch spent with his children, Archie and Lilibet.
In a newly resurfaced excerpt from his memoir, Spare (courtesy of Buzzfeed News), Prince Harry recalled “the final visit” between his kids and his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. The Duke of Sussex, 39, described his children’s behaviour during the long-awaited meeting.
“Archie making deep, chivalrous bows, his baby sister Lilibet cuddling the monarch’s shins,” he wrote. Queen Elizabeth immediately complimented the kids on their manners. “Sweetest children, Granny said, sounding bemused,” Prince Harry added.
The Duke of Sussex disclosed that the children’s excellent behaviour took aback Queen Elizabeth. He remarked, “I think she had expected them to be a little more…American.” “Meaning more boisterous, in her opinion.”
Following the funeral, Prince Harry went to California and acknowledged that his interactions with his children had changed as a result of Queen Elizabeth’s passing. It also made him realize how valuable that last visit had been.
He then on, alluding to his wife Meghan Markle, “We couldn’t stop hugging the children, couldn’t let them out of our sight, for days and days.” “Yet I also couldn’t stop thinking about them with Granny.”
