It’s only a matter of hours! While the Jubilee will begin this Thursday, June 2 with the traditional Trooping the Color parade, Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle and their two children (Archie and Lilibet, 3 and 1 year old) flew on Tuesday from Los Angeles, according to several sources including the DailyMail. After more than a dozen hours of travel, they should not delay now in London, where they are expected by the fans.
The Sussex couple, who left the royal family with a bang in October 2019, officially return to the UK together for the first time after a short stay a few weeks ago on the way to The Hague, where they were going to attend the Invictus Games. A great return which could well erase the controversies of recent years, in particular that of their interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they spared no one.
While waiting to see if Prince Charles’ son will be reconciled with his brother, William, and with his father, he can at least introduce them to his youngest daughter, Lilibet, who will celebrate her 1st birthday this Saturday and whom they have not yet never encountered. Moreover, the little girl should also meet the queen for the first time, while her big brother Archie had met her before leaving for the United States.
A big family reunion
The whole little family will stay at Frogmore Cottage, the superb house they had lived in before moving to the other side of the Atlantic and which the youngest should not leave, under the good care of nannies. A cottage they will share with Princess Eugenie, Prince Harry’s cousin, but also with the latter’s husband, Jack Brooksbank and with their son, August, born in February 2021.
These, rather close to Harry, lived there full time for two years but have just announced their next departure to Portugal, where the businessman will now work. However, they should attend, like the whole family, Friday morning mass, where we also expect Beatrice, Eugenie’s older sister, her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi or Zara Phillips, their cousin, accompanied by her husband Mike Tindal.
But none of them, any more than Prince Harry, will be present on the Buckingham balcony this Thursday: avoiding the various controversies, Queen Elizabeth has decided that only active members of the royal family will be present (Prince Charles , Prince Edward, Princess Anne or even Prince William and Kate Middleton in particular). Assured by the crown to have an effective security service, Prince Harry promised in exchange to keep a low profile and should therefore not comment on this decision.
