The royal attended the event
in a private capacity after quitting royal life in 2020, and maintained a low
profile while watching the military spectacle from the sidelines. He kept
his appearance subtle by donning a simple navy suit and tie to complement his
wife Meghan, who looked stunning in a navy dress and a wide brimmed hat.
Another reason Harry wasn’t
wearing a military uniform is related to his decision to step away from royal
duties two years ago. As such, he was stripped of several honorary military
titles, including Honorary Air Commandant of RAF Honington and Captain-General
of the Royal Marines.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
travelled to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations with their two
children, Archie and Lilibet, who are believed to have stayed at home during
Thursday’s events. Instead, Meghan was spotted playing with young royals
Savannah and Isla Phillips, and Lena Tindall, playfully shushing them as they
watched the flypast of Royal Airforce aircrafts.
It is believed the
family-of-four will stay at Frogmore Cottage, Harry and Meghan’s UK residence. The
home was where the couple spent their final period as working royals before
moving to California, and it was recently reported that they extended the lease
on a 12-month rolling arrangement.
The trip is extra special
since little Lili will celebrate her first birthday on Saturday, and she is
expected to meet her great-grandmother in person for the first time soon.
