Lilibet’s First Birthday Coincides with Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

June 4th, 2022, is a significant date for both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter Lilibet and the Queen.

The young princess will be turning one, while the Queen will be celebrating her Platinum Jubilee.

The month of June is set to be a busy one for the Royal Family, with several landmark birthdays and anniversaries.

The four-day bank holiday celebrations from June 2nd to June 5th, 2022, will honor the Queen's 70-year reign.

The festivities include Trooping the Colour, a service of thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral, and a Grand Platinum Jubilee pageant.

On Lilibet's birthday, there will be a special day at the Epsom Derby, followed by a Platinum Party at the Palace.

This event will feature a concert broadcast live from Buckingham Palace on the BBC, with big names in entertainment expected to perform.

However, the Queen has yet to meet her great-granddaughter, as Lilibet was born in America, where she lives with her parents and older brother Archie.

It was expected that Harry and Meghan would attend the events to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, but this has been thrown into doubt after Harry's recent statements.

Harry claims that a return to the UK would come at too great a personal risk due to his security situation.

He alleges that a decision following his exit from the Royal Family stripped him of his right to personal security provided by the Met Police.

Harry, 37, has since decided to sue the British government by applying for a judicial review against the decision, which could see him face the Home Office at court.

A statement released by Harry's lawyers said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, but that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed while in the UK.

In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home.

Since stepping back from royal life in early 2020, Harry and Meghan have made their home in the US.

Today, it has emerged that they feel unable to return to the UK unless the police protection they feel is necessary to keep them safe is in place.

A legal representative for the Sussexes issued a statement after newspaper The Mail on Sunday broke the story that the Prince had sought a judicial review of a Home Office decision not to allow him to pay for police protection when in the UK.

The statement says that Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life, and that his private security team cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed while in the UK.

Without such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home.

Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life.

He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats.

While his role within the institution has changed, his profile as a member of the royal family has not.

Nor has the threat to him and his family, the statement reads.

The couple received taxpayer-funded police protection when they were working royals but lost this when they stepped back in March 2020.

A legal representative for the Sussexes said that Harry had offered to pay moving forward when they were in the UK, but his attempts to negotiate this were rejected.

In conclusion, Lilibet's first birthday will coincide with the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, but whether her parents will attend remains uncertain due to Harry's security concerns.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to face challenges in their new life away from royal duties.
