Sussexes ‘mustn't attend Queen's Jubilee

An overwhelming 74 per cent say Prince Harry and Meghan should remain at home in California and not take part in any of the events marking Her Majesty's 70 years of service that will culminate in a four-day bank holiday weekend in early June.

It follows the Prince's latest controversial US television interview last week and a long-running war of words over how they have been treated by the Royal Family, royal aides and the Government.

Asked "Should Prince Harry and Meghan stay away from the Jubilee celebrations?” 74 per cent said “Yes”, with 10 per cent answering "Don't know" and 'They s 16 per cent “No”.

Reports emerged yesterday the couple and their two children could be offered taxpayer-funded security if they come back for the unique royal celebration.

They have been locked in a legal battle with the Government following the withdrawal of their state-funded security team when they quit as working members of the Royal Family and moved to the US.

They are likely to be given a Special Escort Group (SEG) and Harry has been “reassured” by the plan after it was used during their UK visit last week, say reports.

It was also reported the Prince appeared mollified at the security plans put in place when he and Meghan visited the Queen at Windsor this month.

The couple brought over their private bodyguards from the US when they stayed on the Queen's Windsor estate and received an SEG detail when travelling outside. The SEG provides armed protection to royals and government ministers.
