Charles had ‘very emotional’ reunion with Archie, meeting granddaughter Lili for the first time

A royal source has revealed the Prince of Wales had a "very emotional" first meeting with granddaughter Lili, and a special reunion with grandson Archie whilst the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were visiting the UK.

Charles, next in line for the throne, and the Duchess of Cornwall were reportedly "absolutely thrilled" to see Harry, Meghan, and their children when the family briefly travelled from California to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee earlier this month. Lili's first birthday fell during their stay, and she was able to meet her namesake, great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, for the first time too.
