One is not invited
The Queen has stated that only ‘working royals’ will be given a spot on the balcony this year at the Jubilee Trouping the Colour closing event on Thursday 2nd June. This event includes the famous ‘flypast’ that provides a perfect opportunity to capture the Royals all out on the balcony together. Not this year.

No Harry, Meghan (nor Andrew)
For the 2022 event, the Queen has decided to only include ‘working’ royals. These only include the Queen herself; her son, Charles and wife, Camilla; William, Kate and the three Cambridge children; Edward and Sophie plus their children; the Princess Royal; the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester; the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra. No space this year for Andrew, Sarah nor their girls, Eugenie and Beatrice. And no space for Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet. The latter whom the Queen has never met.

The Queen took ‘careful consideration’
According to the Guardian, a Buckingham Palace source said: “After careful consideration, the Queen has decided this year’s traditional trooping the colour balcony appearance on Thursday 2 June will be limited to Her Majesty and those members of the royal family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of the Queen.”

But Harry and Meghan will return – with the kids
Harry and Meghan are invited to other jubilee events, it seems, after the palace confirmed that ‘family members would be invited to the jubilee events’.
