The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will
soon be returning to the UK for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. And while
they will be a part of the celebrations next week, the couple will not
appear in the traditional balcony line-up at this year’s Trooping the colour,
with only working royals taking part.
However, royal fans will be
pleased to learn that there might be another opportunity for Prince Harry and Meghan to
make an appearance on the iconic Buckingham Palace balcony.
It has been revealed that on
the final day of the bank holiday weekend, 5 June, the Queen and
members of the royal family could make a final appearance on the balcony to
round off the weekend.
The Jubilee Pageant, which
will parade through the streets of London, is set to be watched by up to a
billion people across the globe, and more than 10,000 people will be involved
in the £15 million processions.
Some of the sights set to
feature along the 3km route include Ed Sheeran singing the national
anthem, puppet corgis, a giant 3D wire bust of the Queen, a tribute to seven
decades of fashion, music and culture, and the Gold State Coach which will
appear on the streets of London for the first time in 20 years.

It’s been widely speculated
that Harry and Meghan will watch the pageant. It comes shortly after they confirmed
that they would be bringing three-year-old Archie and 11-month-old Lilibet
with them for the celebrations.
A spokeswoman for Harry and
Meghan said: “Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
are excited and honoured to attend The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations
this June with their children.”
It will be the first time
Harry and Meghan have brought their family to the UK since leaving for the US
in 2020.
