Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did not join the royal family on the balcony

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did not fit on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, where Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of the royal family traditionally greet the British at the annual parade. According to sources at the palace, they had no choice.

At the same time, the Queen, Prince William and Duchess Kate, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles stood on the balcony together. It turns out that Elizabeth II did not let Harry and Meghan onto the balcony.

The reason was that the Sussex's had withdrawn from their duties as members of the royal family. There was no expression of animosity in this, but the Queen is careful to follow rules and royal etiquette, writes USM.
