🤢🤧😉 It is believed Harry has also made “olive branch” calls to his family as he and Meghan plan Lilibet's christening.
🤢🤧😉 But senior staff are said to be stunned by the request for a meeting, months after the couple blasted the Royal Family in a chat with TV pal Oprah Winfrey.
🤢🤧😉 And Jobson writes: "One must remember too as great-grandmother she is under no real obligation to attend any planned baptism for Lili, even if she gives it the nod to take place in Windsor.
🤢🤧😉 "Unless they can secure a date soon, her parents may just decide to host the christening in America instead.
🤢🤧😉 "If they do, well-placed royal sources say members of the Firm, including the boss, Her Majesty, will breathe 'a sigh of relief'."
