Buckingham Palace’s iconic balcony is the equivalent of a red carpet for the royal family.
The parade culminates with an aerial fly-past by the Royal Air Force, perPlatinumJubilee.gov.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were traveling to the Netherlands to appear at the Invictus Games, perCNN.

Their role at the event will be strictly as family members since they are no longer working royals.
Harry and Meghan’s daughter, Lilibet, is 11 months old and has not met the queen.
In June 1985, Prince Harry made his balcony debut when he was a few months old.

Harry’s balcony invitation has also renewed speculation over whether Prince Andrew will be asked to join the group.
Andrew was previously excluded from the balcony during the 2012 Diamond Jubilee.
