The LA-based couple will honour the Monarch’s seven decades on the throne at the special service on Friday, June 3, alongside her other children, grandchild­ren and great-grandchild­ren.

Prince Andrew will also make a rare public appearance for the first-time since his father’s memorial in April, The Telegraph reports, where he was brought in from the cold to support his mother as she walked in and out of Westminste­r Abbey.

24 hours later the eyes of the world will be on the Sussexes at St Paul’s in eight days’ time, because it will be the first time the couple will be surrounded by such a large number of royals since their wedding at St George’s Windsor in 2018. Harry has hardly seen his father and brother since they emigrated to California, and Meghan has not seen them at all.

Since quitting as frontline royals, they have used Oprah and US TV news stations to fire transatlan­tic potshots at the Royal Family, including claims one senior member was racist and that Buckingham Palace aides ignored Meghan when she was suicidal whole pregnant.

But their eldest son Archie, three, and daughter Lilibet, who turns one on Saturday, are unlikely to attend the service of celebratio­n, with only the eldest great-grandchild­ren expected to attend. William and Kate’s eldest children Prince George, eight, and Princess Charlotte, seven, are expected to be with their parents alongside cousin Mia Tindall, also eight.

The news comes after it emerged Andrew, 62, will also take part in another Jubilee ceremony at Windsor Castle on June 13 alongside other senior royals. He will attend Garter Day ceremonies as a Royal Knight.

Nearly 700 years old, the Order is the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain. The Knights, now both male and female, used to be limited to aristocrac­y, but today they are chosen from a variety of background­s, in recognitio­n for their public service.

The annual iconic Garter Day procession, where The Queen and the Knights process in grand velvet robes, glistening insignia and plumed hats, is one of the most traditiona­l ceremonies in the Queen’s calendar.
