Will the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee help ease family tensions for good? On February 6, 2022, Elizabeth II began the celebrations of her 70 years of reign.

Prince Harry could return to England in early June to take part in the Platinum Jubilee festivities. It remains to be seen whether he will make the trip with Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie (2 years old) and Lilibet (8 months), who have never yet met the royal family. In April and July 2021, the 37-year-old Briton returned to the country alone and we now know why: the Sussexes refuse to return with their family until their safety is ensured by the British police. In mid-January, Prince Harry even threatened the British government with legal recourse to restore his protection by agents of Scotland Yard. The Sussexes no longer benefit from this official protection since they left their royal functions at the beginning of 2020. However, they claim to be still as much threatened…
