Prince Harry and Meghan ‘invited to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations’

Celebrations will take place next year

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly invited to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations next year.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were offered an olive branch by Her Majesty, 95, following their decision to step back from their senior royal roles last year.

According to reports, Meghan and Harry plan to attend the Queen‘s official birthday parade but it’s unclear whether they will appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony with the rest of the royals.

Meghan and Harry reportedly intend on returning to the UK for the celebrations.

However, palace aides will apparently limit numbers on the balcony.

A source told the Mail on Sunday: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been invited and I’m sure the Queen is very much looking forward to seeing them there.

“The balcony moment will be decided much nearer the time.

“But there’s a limit to how many family members should be on it, and I would have thought that working Royals who contribute to the family would be higher on the list than the Sussexes.”

ED! has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.

When will the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee take place?

Meanwhile, the celebrations mean Brits will enjoy an extra bank holiday in 2022.

The events will take place from Thursday, June 2, to Sunday, June 5, next year.

Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal life back in March last year.

However, their relationship with the royal family has reportedly become strained thanks to their Oprah Winfrey interview and Harry’s recent comments about his family.

Next week, Harry will reunite with his brother Prince William for the unveiling of a Princess Diana statue.

The statue will mark what would have been the Princess of Wales’ 60th birthday.
