At the beginning of June, the 96th birthday and the 70th anniversary of the throne of the Queen will be celebrated in London. British media reports that Prince Harry could come to Great Britain with his family.
The surprising flying visit of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan to the Queen in Windsor continues to be a topic of conversation. On Maundy Thursday, the 37-year-old and his wife briefly visited the monarch before traveling on to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands. Even in palace circles, no one should have known about the private meeting in advance. About two weeks earlier, Harry had canceled his visit to the memorial service for his late grandfather, Prince Philip.
Safety concerns were repeatedly cited as the reason. Prince Harry recently even initiated legal action because the British Home Office no longer wants to give him official police protection when he is in Great Britain. But a solution seems to have been found for this problem.
Harry and Meghan hire Barack Obama’s bodyguard
The British newspaper “Daily Mail” reports that Harry and Meghan were protected twice during their stay in Great Britain and the associated visit to the Queen. For one, they brought with them a former Secret Service agent who previously worked for ex-Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. On the other hand, special officers of the London police were assigned to them. A compromise that could prove sustainable. Harry was “relieved” how well everything went.
According to the “Daily Mail”, Prince Charles’ son is now even thinking about traveling to London again with his family in early June – including the children Archie and Lilibet. The Queen’s 96th birthday and 70th jubilee celebrations will take place in the British capital from June 2nd to 5th.
The British are given an extra holiday for this occasion, and the whole country will be in a state of emergency. The Queen is said to have already issued an invitation to the balcony of Buckingham Palace. It would be an opportunity for the monarch to meet her soon-to-be one-year-old great-grandaughter in person for the first time. However, the plans have not yet been officially confirmed.
