Harry and Meghan will not be on balcony for Queen’s Jubilee
Prince Harry, his wife Meghan, and his controversial Uncle Andrew will not be present on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the start of the celebrations for the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth II’s reign, the British royal house announced on Friday.
“After careful consideration, the Queen has decided that the traditional balcony appearance on Thursday 2 June will be limited this year to Her Majesty and members of the Royal Family who are carrying out official public engagements on behalf of the Queen.” a palace spokesman said.
From June 2 to 5, the United Kingdom will celebrate four days of great festivities on the occasion of the “platinum jubilee” that marks Elizabeth II’s seven decades on the throne, a record for a British monarch.
They will begin with the traditional Trooping the Color or “Banner Parade”, which usually commemorates the queen’s birthday annually, although it has not been celebrated since the start of the pandemic (it was canceled in 2020 and 2021).
A total of 18 members of the royal family, including Crown Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, their son William, his wife Catherine, and their three children, will appear on the balcony to watch the grand military parade.
