  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are attending the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June and bringing their kids.
  • The visit marks the first time Queen Elizabeth will meet Lilibet Diana, who is named after her.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be attending Queen Elizabeth's $4 in June, as a spokesperson for the couple confirmed to Insider on Friday.

The spokesperson also told Insider that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be bringing their children, Archie and Lilibet, to honor the Queen's 70 years on the throne.

"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," the spokesperson said in the statement shared with Insider.

The trip will be the first time Queen Elizabeth meets 11-month-old Lilibet Diana, who was born on June 4, 2021, and is $4. She hasn't seen Archie since 2020.

"Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet," Markle and Prince Harry $4 following her birth. "Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales."

Lili will be turning 1 when she meets the Queen, making it seemingly the longest the monarch has gone without meeting one of her $4 following their birth.

The Queen has yet to meet Lili both because Markle and Harry $4 following their $4 and because Harry has $4, as a lawyer for the Sussexes said.

Harry and Markle $4 when they stepped back, and the British government barred him from personally paying for police protection for his family when he is in the UK. Harry $4 of that decision in September.

Although the Sussexes and their children will be at the Platinum Jubilee, they will $4 with other senior members of the royal family during the celebration, nor will Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie, as a statement from the palace confirmed.

"After careful consideration, The Queen has decided this year's traditional Trooping the Colour balcony appearance on Thursday 2nd June will be limited to Her Majesty and those Members of the Royal Family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of The Queen," the statement said.

The statement went on to say that the working royals who will be on the balcony include the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children, the Princess Royal and Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, and Princess Alexandra.

The announcement comes after reports that $4 when he ascends the throne.

Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment on this story.
