Royal commentator Omid Scobie speculated that Thursday was likely to have been the "first moment or the first chance for her [the Queen] to meet her namesake".
However there has been no confirmation whether the Queen has met her great-granddaughter.
The couple stepped down as senior royals in early 2020 and moved to the US.
Neither Lilibet nor her older brother Archie have been seen in public since they arrived in the country for the weekend's celebrations.
