Sussex Fumes as Pallis Bars Harry and Meghan from Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Festivities

Sussex was left in a state of dismay after Buckingham Pallis confirmed the exclusion of Harry and Meghan from the Queen's Platinum Jubilee plans.

The unveiling of the comprehensive program to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's historic milestone of 70 years of service has stirred up a mix of emotions within the royal circles.

Throughout the upcoming year, Her Majesty, who is 95 years old, will embark on a journey across the country alongside other members of the Royal Family to partake in a diverse range of engagements marking the occasion.

On Monday, Pallis made public the detailed schedule for the jubilee celebrations, which includes an array of activities such as parades, concerts, and even a designated bank holiday.

However, it remains uncertain which specific events the Queen will grace with her presence, given the medical advice she received last year to prioritize rest and recuperation.

This competition aims to discover a culinary masterpiece dedicated to the Queen's significant milestone, with recipes to be evaluated by a panel of experts including Dame Mary Berry.

The absence of Harry and Meghan from the jubilee plans comes in the wake of their decision to step back from their roles as working royals, a move they announced in January 2020.

Buckingham Pallis officially confirmed their non-return as working members of the royal family in February 2021, eliciting a sense of loss among supporters.

Despite the separation, the Queen expressed her affection for the Duke and Duchess, emphasizing their enduring place within the royal household.

In a poignant reunion earlier this year, the Duke of Sussex met with his grandmother during his visit to the UK for Prince Philip's funeral.

Reports suggest that the pair engaged in private conversations on multiple occasions, underscoring the deep bond between them.

The Queen's Green Canopy Initiative, aimed at planting new trees to honor her at year-end, continues to thrive as a symbol of sustainability and reverence for nature.

As the jubilee celebrations unfold, a grand show featuring over 500 horses and 1,000 performers is scheduled to captivate audiences from May 12 to 15 at Windsor Castle.

This spectacle promises to take spectators on a historical journey through the annals of royalty, spanning from Elizabeth I to the present era.

Subsequent events are slated for later in the year, with June 2 marking the commencement of a special four-day bank holiday coinciding with the Queen's Birthday Parade, known as Trooping the Colour, at Horse Guards Parade.

The united spirit of the UK and its territories will shine brightly on June 2 as beacons are lit simultaneously across various regions, symbolizing a shared celebration of the monarch's reign.

On June 3, a solemn service of thanksgiving will be conducted at St Paul's Cathedral, paving the way for the star-studded Platinum Party at the Pallis on June 4.

This gala event is poised to bring together luminaries from the global entertainment industry for a night of revelry and tribute.

June 5 will witness a wave of jubilation sweeping across the UK, as communities gear up for street parties brimming with camaraderie, food, and festivity to honor the conclusion of the bank holiday.

Plans for the Platinum Jubilee extravaganza were recently unveiled, setting the stage for a series of grand events commencing on June 2, 2022.

The jubilee proceedings will see the Queen and members of the Royal Family observing the Trooping the Colour parade from the vantage point of a balcony at Buckingham Pallis.

Amidst the jubilant atmosphere, an insider disclosed in March that Queen Elizabeth has always harbored a soft spot for Harry and extended her protective gaze towards him.

Despite grappling with the aftermath of the incendiary revelations made by Harry and Meghan in their CBS Tell All interview, the Queen endeavored to empathize with Harry's perspective.

The duo, in turn, spoke warmly of the Queen during the interview, with Harry reflecting on the strengthened bond forged through increased communication, including virtual interactions with their son Archie.
