Sussex Left Fuming as Palace Blocks Them from Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

The Queen has officially announced the dates and detailed schedule for the festivities commemorating her platinum jubilee next summer.

The extraordinary event will span an additional four-day bank holiday, granting Britons an extended break to honor Her Majesty's remarkable 70-year reign.

By June 2022, the monarch will have reached the historic milestone of seven decades on the throne, a feat unprecedented in British royal history.

Buckingham Palace has now set June 2-5 as the dates for a series of commemorative events highlighting Anne's tenure as the reigning monarch since ascending to the throne in 1952 at the age of 25.

Although she assumed her duties on February 6, she opted to postpone the celebrations to the summer due to the significance of that date, coinciding with King George VI's passing.

The announced activities include the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony in London, royal attendance at the Epsom Derby, and a grand music concert at the palace.

Concerns have arisen among experts regarding the potential absence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the Queen's platinum jubilee.

Royal commentator Jonathan Sacchidotti shared his apprehensions during an interview on the Royal Ears podcast with hosts Christina Ross and Christina Garibaldi.

Speculations suggest that the couple might contrive reasons for Meghan's nonattendance, raising doubts about their participation in the milestone celebration.

Sacchidotti hinted at the possibility of Meghan's presence contingent on travel arrangements and family circumstances.

He also suggested that Prince Harry might return solo, hinting at the Duchess of Sussex's reluctance to visit the UK since their departure.

The commentator speculated that Meghan might feel unwelcome in the country, potentially leading the couple to opt out of the jubilee events to avoid overshadowing the Queen's momentous occasion.

In an official statement outlining the full program of events, the Palace revealed plans for year-long Platinum Jubilee festivities across the UK, the Commonwealth, and globally.

Throughout the celebratory year, Her Majesty and members of the Royal Family will embark on engagements nationwide to mark this historic milestone, culminating in the focal point of the Platinum Jubilee weekend in June, exactly one year from today.

On February 6, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II will make history as the first British monarch to reach a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years since her accession to the throne following her father's passing.

Over the decades, she has counseled 14 prime ministers, interacted with 13 US presidents, and served as a steadfast symbol during the nation's tumultuous times.

The upcoming celebrations will span the year, culminating in a four-day extravaganza in June to honor the Queen's unparalleled reign.

As the anniversary falls on February 6, the decision to host the celebrations in early June aims to capitalize on better weather conditions.

Additionally, the Queen's official birthday typically falls on the second Saturday of June, aligning with the festive atmosphere surrounding the Platinum Jubilee.

Stay tuned for further updates on the forthcoming Platinum Jubilee celebrations, promising a historic tribute to Her Majesty's enduring legacy.
