Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have arrived in the UK for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations. The monarch welcomed them with a special gesture as she sent a car to pick up the couple and their kids—Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana. The Sussexes, upon arrival, were greeted by three of the Queen's protection officers. 

The family is expected to stay at Frogmore Cottage while they attend the Jubilee celebrations. The family will attend the Trooping the Colour ceremony. But, will not be present on the famed balcony. The balcony will hold only working royals. This also excludes Prince Andrew, who was accused of sexual abuse by a Virginia Giuffre, who said she was coerced by Ghislaine Maxwell girlfriend of New York financier Jeffrey Epstein into having sexual relations with the prince. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived secretly in a private jet ahead of the event. This will be the first time members of the royal family will be meeting their daughter Lilibet Diana, who turns one on June 4. The Sussexes will view the Trooping the Colour ceremony from the office of the Major General’s Office in the Buckingham Palace. 

The Palace recently released a new portrait of the Queen ahead of the big celebrations.
