Prince Charles has met his granddaughter Lilibet for the first time, the prince’s office confirmed to CTVNews.ca in a statement on Wednesday. However, Clarence House’s press office added it would not be providing additional details.
According to reports, it was a “very emotional” first meeting and took place during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, which ran from June 2 to 5.

“It was an extremely busy period of days for all members of the Royal Family,” Berthelsen told CTVNews.ca in a telephone interview on Monday. “[The meeting] was fit in where it could [and] probably wasn't extremely long, but it happened after a year.”
