Queen and Prince Philip will be the first Royals to officially meet Baby Sussex
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are set to be the first members of The Royal Family to meet Baby Sussex.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed during their photo call at Windsor Castle that they were heading to meet Her Majesty and The Duke of Edinburgh straight after, to introduce them to their eighth great-grandchild.
While it's seen as tradition for The Queen to get the first glimpse of the new Royal Baby, it's been revealed another Senior Royal got a sneak peek over the monarch.

"We just bumped into the Duke as we were walking by which was so nice," The Duchess of Sussex revealed.
"So it'll be a nice moment to introduce the baby to more family and my mum is with us as well," the new mum said, with Harry adding: "Another great-grandchild".
The couple are yet to announce the baby's name but it's thought they might run it past the monarch at today's meeting, as a courtesy to the head of the family.
