The Prince of Wales and his other half Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, are said to have had a "very emotional" first meeting with their granddaughter Lilibet during Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's UK visit.

Meghan, 40, and her husband Harry, 37, returned to London earlier this year to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. They also used the opportunity to introduce their baby daughter Lili, now one, to the Royal Family, while reacquainting their son Archie, three, with them, too.

Charles, 73, and Camilla, 74, were both said to be "absolutely thrilled" to see the whole family come over from across the pond for the momentous occasion.

According to Town & Country, a royal source said: “It was a fantastic visit and of course the Prince was delighted to see his grandson and meet his granddaughter for the first time,” when questioned on the subject by reporters during a briefing about Clarence House’s annual financial review.

They continued: “It was wonderful to have them back in Britain, the Prince and the Duchess were absolutely thrilled to see them.

“The Prince of course hasn’t seen his grandson Archie for a bit of time and so it was very, very, very special to have some time with him.

Charles, who reportedly left the Royal couple "feeling slighted" with his gesture to Kate Middleton, is said to have got "emotional" over meeting Lili.

The source added: "He hadn’t met Lilibet, his granddaughter, and so to meet her for the first time was I think very emotional, a very wonderful thing.”

OK! has approached Prince Charles' representatives for further comment.

Despite the alleged happy meeting, American-British journalist Christopher Anderson told Royally US that the "curtain has come down” on the possibility of harmony between the estranged father and son, and mentioned how "heartbroken" Princess Diana would be at the state of the relations between the two.

Host of Royally US Christine Ross asked: “We saw some reports that Meghan and Harry were seen leaving Charles’ home.

“Is there any truth to that? Do we know what they talked about? And did it maybe move us towards healing any of these rifts?”

Mr Anderson said: “Well, I understand that it was a perfunctory meeting and that there was no real breakthrough.

“And I have a feeling that Prince Harry definitely went there hoping for some sort of rapprochement but there were no touchy-feely vibes coming back in his direction.

“So, I think the curtain has come down. And one of the things I think is so sad about this is Diana, were she alive today, would be heartbroken by this.

“She would have understood why Harry would have wanted to make his own life and wanted to go to California."
