Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will attend next month's Platinum Jubilee celebrations with both their children

It will be the first time the Queen meets her great-granddaughter Lilibet, who is named after her.

A spokesperson for the couple said: "Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honoured to attend The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children."

It comes as Buckingham Palace announced the couple will not be invited onto the royal balcony for the Trooping the Colour.

The confirmation ends speculation about which members of the royal family will be present for that jubilee moment, with just working royals to stand alongside the monarch.

Prince Harry and Meghan saw the Queen last month for the first time in two years, on their way to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands.

Prior to that, the couple had not been back to the UK since they quit as senior working royals in January 2020.

Back in March, the duke and duchess were notably absent from a memorial service held for his grandfather, Prince Philip.

Their daughter, Lilibet Diana, is named after the nickname given to the Queen when she was a child.
