Meghan Markle will allegedly return to the United Kingdom for Lilibet Diana’s christening. And she’s also expected to have a showdown with Kate Middleton.
In its September 27 issue, In Touch Weekly claimed that Prince Harry managed to convince Markle to fly to the UK with him. And she agreed because this is where she wants her daughter to be christened.
A source claimed that Queen Elizabeth reluctantly agreed with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s plan to have their daughter christened in the UK because she wants to meet her great-granddaughter.
“She wants to meet Lili, but she and everyone else are questioning Harry and Meghan’s motivation after they’ve said such cruel things about the family in recent months. The christening has all the makings of a disaster,” the source said.
The insider added that the queen felt that she didn’t have any other choice but to say yes to the couple because saying no would not look good on her.
“If she refused, it wouldn’t have been a good look. She’s been waiting to meet her great-granddaughter and see Archie again, but word around the palace is that it makes no sense to her that they’d want Lili christened in England after they left the family precisely because they didn’t want to live by royal duties,” the source said.
According to the source, Markle also decided to return to the UK because she’s plotting to make sure that her children will be given royal titles. The Suits alum hopes that by showing the queen her great-grandchildren, Prince Harry would be able to convince his grandmother to give in to their request.
Unfortunately, it seems that the queen won’t grant Markle and Prince Harry’s request especially since the latter is no longer considered as a senior working royal.
Meanwhile, there are also speculations suggesting that Markle and Prince Harry are planning to have a showdown with Prince William and Middleton when they arrive in the UK.
And the source also claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no plans to invite the Cambridges to Lili’s christening.
However, none of the tabloid’s claims are correct. Markle won’t return to the UK for the christening of her daughter because Lili will be baptized in the United States.
In fact, it’s possible that Lili has already been baptized and Prince Harry and Markle are just keeping the news a secret.
