However, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew won’t have roles to play. They won’t be allowed to join the Queen on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour either.

However, the Sussexes have been invited to join the Queen in a personal capacity at other events over the long weekend including a thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral and the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

A Palace spokesperson said:

Members of the Royal Family will attend engagements in each nation, including public events marking the occasion.
