Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Clicked At Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived for the Jubilee celebrations. The couple was seen making a subtle appearance at the Trooping the Colour parade, 2022, on Thursday. This was part of Queen Elizabeth II’s four-day Platinum Jubilee celebration in London.

The former actress was seen pulling off an off-the-shoulder navy dress paired with a massive sun hat. She was joined by the Duke of Sussex, 37, in the Major General’s Office at Buckingham Palace.

They seemed to have arrived in a low-key manner. Together they were later spotted chatting with other members of the royal family. This included the Queen’s cousin Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent.

Markle was also seen goofing around with some of the younger members of the family. She was pictured smiling and giggling with the Queen’s great-granddaughters Savannah Phillips, 11, Isla Phillips, 10, Mia Tindall, 8, and Lena Tindall, 3.

Whereas, the Queen, 96, along with the senior royals waved to onlookers from the balcony of the palace. This included Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Markle and Harry were not invited to the photo op. This is because they are no longer working royals.

After careful consideration, the Queen has decided this year’s traditional Trooping the Colour balcony appearance on Thursday, 2 June, will be limited to Her Majesty, and those members of the royal family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of the Queen,” a statement issued by the Buckingham Palace read.

Trooping the Colour is the official celebration of the Queen’s birthday that involves a parade with more than 1,000 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians each year.

This tradition was created under the reign of King Charles II in 1748. The Queen’s birthday is honoured in June, every year. This practice has been going on for more than 260 years. This isn’t the only birthday celebration for the Queen, who also recognizes the day she was born, April 21.

Harry’s Tense Relationship With His Royal Family

According to sources, Harry, Markle and their kids, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 11 months, were expected to attend the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. This news was known in May itself. This occasion marked just the second time the pair returned to see the Duke of Sussex’s grandmother, since resigning from their royal duties and moving to California in early 2020.

The duo is expected to celebrate their daughter Lilibet’s 1st birthday on Saturday with the Queen. This visit will also mark the first time the sovereign has been able to meet her great-granddaughter. Lilibet has been named after the queen.

The ex-royals last visited the Queen in April. They made a secret stop in the UK while they were on a route to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games. Harry returned to his homeland for the first time since Megxit.

At that time they also reunited with Harry’s dad, Charles, 73, and his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles. They did not happen to meet his brother William, 39, or Middleton, 40, amid Harry’s tense relationship with the Duke of Cambridge.
