Prince Harry

Harry and Meghan, along with their kids Archie and Lilibet, arrived in the U.K. for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

This year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are keeping a low profile as they attend Queen Elizabeth's annual birthday parade. Today marks the parade's return to Buckingham Palace. The couple—who arrived in London yesterday afternoon with their children, three-year-old Archie and 11-month-old Lilibet—last made a public appearance at the parade in 2019, prior to them stepping down as senior members of the royal family in 2020.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were noticeably absent from Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in London.

Harry was in Britain last year for the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip. But the queen stripped Andrew of his honorary military titles in January and is now herself colonel of the regiment, which brings the title full circle. Meghan visited Uvalde, Tex., last month to pay respects to victims of the school shooting there. Nor was he in the royal carriages, which included his younger brother Edward. Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were photographed at the Major General’s Office, Horse Guards Parade earlier. In the end, it was a no — at least for Thursday’s big event, the “Trooping the Color” military parade.

It's the couple's first public visit to the United Kingdom since they quit as senior royals over two years ago.

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior members of the royal family in January 2020, shortly before the coronavirus pandemic began, and they have largely remained in the United States since. The couple is expected to attend a service of thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday, and a concert at Buckingham Palace on Saturday evening. It is their first public visit to the country since they quit as senior royals more than two years ago.

The Tindall and Phillips kids have been seen at a few recent public events, perhaps indicating greater visibility within the British royal family. Also spotted at watching the House Guards Parade was Prince Harry's cousin Princess Beatrice, who could be seen peeking out a window behind the Cambridge children and Mia Tindall. Specifically, they were photographed chatting with a few of their youngest relatives including Zara Tindall's daughters Mia Tindall and Lena Tindall, and Peter Phillips's daughters Savannah Phillips and Isla Phillips. Meghan was seen entertaining the four girls, playfully shushing them at one point, as was Harry:

Lilibet will turn 1 on June 4, but it is unclear how the family will mark the birthday as the royals will be busy with Jubilee events. The last time they were spotted with the family was in 2020 for Commonwealth Day – it was also the couple's final appearance as working royals. But diaries are full on Saturday. There isn't much wriggle room to fit in a birthday party for a 1-year-old. It comes after a royal expert told The Express earlier this year that the Queen is "desperate" to meet Lilibet and despite regularly speaking via video chat, she "would love" to spend time in person with her California-based great-grandchildren. Prince Harry, Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet arrived in the UK on Wednesday. The event was the first time the duke and duchess were seen with the royal family in over two years.

Get a note directly from our foreign correspondents on what’s making headlines around the world. As the couple have stepped back from public duties and are now “non-working” royals, they did not appear in the carriage procession on Thursday or at the palace balcony. On Saturday, the Queen is expected to spend time with Lilibet, the newest daughter of Harry and Meghan, who had not travelled to Britain with her parents since they quit their duties and moved to the United States two years ago.

It is the first major royal event Prince Harry and Meghan have attended since stepping down from their official duties in 2020.

In a surprise move, the couple announced in January 2020 that they were stepping back as senior royals. The two sides agreed to a review of the situation after 12 months. He is bringing a claim against the British government after being informed he would no longer be given the “same degree” of personal protective security when visiting Britain. The prince offered to pay for the security himself, but Britain’s Home Office declined. Last summer, he returned to Britain to unveil a statue of his late mother, Princess Diana. She has been struggling with what the palace calls “mobility issues” in recent months and has missed a number of engagements. Harry and Meghan named their daughter after Elizabeth, using the queen’s childhood nickname.

Prince Harry and Meghan appeared on day two of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, attending a Service of Thanksgiving at London's St Paul's Cathedral.

It's the couple's first appearance together on British soil since they stepped down from royal duties two years ago. The two left in a waiting car. She tested positive for Covid earlier this year and has been suffering from what the palace calls calls “episodic mobility problems.” Beyond the queen another royal who was not in attendance at the service was Prince Andrew, who has tested positive for Covid, according to the palace. They attended a Service of Thanksgiving for Harry’s grandmother at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday, with the queen herself skipping the service due to mobility issues. Although the Sussexes have become divisive figures since their decision to step down from royal duties and move to the United States, they were met by some cheers from the crowd as they arrived on their own for the church service early Friday.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared wearing white and military badges as they entered St. Paul's cathedral while holding hands.

The couple, who gave up their royal duties and moved to California two years ago, instead watched from the nearby Major General's Office. Eyes were even more on the couple since the queen did not attend Friday's event. Celebrations for the occasion began Thursday with a parade and beacon lighting.

(The couple later clarified that the comments were not made by Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, or late grandfather, Prince Philip.) In the same interview, Harry also said that his father, Prince Charles, had "stopped taking my calls." Harry and Meghan chatted with Harry's cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral before leaving. When Prince Charles passed by the row with Meghan and Harry, he was photographed looking away. Instead, they viewed the event alongside other extended members of the royal family from the Major General's Office, which overlooks the Horse Guards Parade.
