Prince Harry, Prince Andrew not invited to Queen Elizabeth celebration

Some famous royal names were left off of Queen Elizabeth’s guest list.

Buckingham Palace confirmed Friday that Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew are all excluded from appearing on the balcony during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, set to take place next month.

Only Royal Family members currently involved with public duties will be invited to the event on the Buckingham Palace balcony, leaving out her some well-known names off of the list.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, marking the 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II, is still being held, despite concerns about the monarch’s health.
