That’s going to be a no from the queen herself. There’s a new report that says three people are going to be missing from the balcony of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations: Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew. The revelation came as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed they will be attending the celebrations in June. Here’s what you need to know.
Harry and Meghan are coming to the UK, but their trip won’t be what many fans might expect. It will be the first time the couple have brought their family to the UK since leaving for the US, and the first time their youngest, Lilibet, will meet her great-grandmother who she was named after.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Won’t Join The Royal Family On THe Balcony For Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee
A spokeswoman for Harry and Meghan said: “Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honored to attend The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children.”
The Queen’s decision to only include royals carrying out official public duties was taken “after careful consideration”, a source said. Joining the Queen on the balcony for the Platinum Jubilee Trooping will be the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
Also set to appear for the historic occasion will be Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and the Wessexes’ children Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn. The head of state has made an exception for Anne’s husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim, who is not a working royal, and her two youngest grandchildren Lady Louise and James, and her Cambridge great-grandchildren George, Charlotte and Louis.
A Palace spokesman said: “In addition the Cambridge and Wessex children are also expected to appear as is Sir Tim Laurence, who the Queen is happy to attend as a frequent attendee and support for the Princess Royal on official engagements.”
