Royal commentator Omid Scobie, one of the authors of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s biography Finding Freedom, shared details of the low-key introduction during a TV appearance this morning. #PlatinumJubilee

Scobie claimed that last night would have been the first time The Queen would have met her namesake, in the flesh. #PlatinumJubilee #PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle

The news broke as the Queen celebrates the second day of her Platinum Jubilee today. The highlight is a service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral attended by senior royals and politicians.

Mr Scobie said: “I think people are expecting some sort of big birthday extravagant event, that we’re going to see photographs from. From what I’m told, we shouldn’t expect anything." #PlatinumJubilee #PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle

“Of course we know the Queen went back to Windsor Castle yesterday, the couple went back to Windsor as well where they’re staying at Frogmore Cottage.

“So that would have been the first moment or the first chance for her to meet her namesake.” #PlatinumJubilee

It comes as the expert said Harry and Meghan hope to be as “low-profile as possible” during their trip to the UK for The Platinum Jubilee. #PlatinumJubilee #PrinceHarry

"I spoke with people close to the couple... who said that they want to be as low-profile as possible during this trip.

"It's almost hard to believe, but I think yesterday Trooping the Colour was a great example. We didn't really catch sight of them on TV cameras." #PrinceHarry

Lilibet had never met the Queen, who was named in honour of the monarch, or the rest of the Royal Family and their son Archie has not seen them since he was only six months old. #PlatinumJubilee #PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle
