It’s now certain: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will participate well in the queen’s platinum jubilee Elizabeth II. While his return to England is as much feared by some as expected by others, the Telegram revealed that the Sussex couple are expected to attend mass at St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday June 3. An appearance that could well capture all the attention since the last time that Meghan Markle and Harry were together in the United Kingdom, surrounded by the royal family, dates back to 2018. And for their return, the duchess, who made a surprise appearance after the shooting in Texas, and the Duke of Sussex will of course be accompanied by their children, Archie (3 years old) and Lilibet Diana.
A great first for the youngest of the Sussexes since she has never set foot in England. Especially since the little girl could well steal the show from her great-grandmother because she will celebrate her first birthday, June 4, in full jubilee. An anniversary that will forever be marked by his first meeting with Her Majesty. She will also meet all the other members of the royal family, including her uncle and aunt Prince William and Kate Middleton. At the festivities of this jubilee, are also expected Prince Andrew, the Cambridges and their children, George, Charlotte and Louis, as well as Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.
The state of health of Elizabeth II worries
What about Elizabeth II’s state of health? If her failing health has worried her subjects for several months, the 96-year-old monarch has not hesitated to cancel her visit to many events in recent times. If she often does it reluctantly, it is with the idea of preserving herself for the great Jubilee festivities of which she is the star. From June 2 to 5, a large bridge is planned in the United Kingdom to celebrate the 70 years of reign of the mother of Prince Charles, in particular, the appearance on the Buckingham balcony of the Queen and a restricted circle.
Other great-grandchildren ready to steal the show from the Queen
Lilibet Diana and Archie will not be the only great-grandchildren of the Queen to eclipse the latter at her own jubilee. Since it will also be necessary to count on the presence of its 10 of 12 great-grandchildren aboard a horse-drawn carriage ! There will be: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Savannah and Isla Phillips (the daughters of Peter Phillips and his ex-wife Autumn Kelly), Mia, Lena and Lucas Tindall (the children of Zara Phillips and her husband Mike Tindall), August Brooksbank (the son of Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank) as well as Sienna Mapelli Mozzi (the daughter of Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi).
