Queen Sends Car to Pick Up Harry and Meghan as Royal Family Gathers for Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

The Queen has reportedly sent her own car to pick up and from the airport, in what could be a sign of peace within the royal family.

Sources close to the family have suggested that the Queen may be trying to gather everyone together ahead of the four-day Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The royal couple arrived in the UK earlier this week and were picked up by the Queen's Land Rover, although it is not clear where they were headed other than to a private family gathering.

The bulletproof car was also thought to have taken them from Farnborough Airport to Frogmore Cottage.

According to sources, the Queen believed it was the right thing to do, and Harry and Meghan will join other members of the Royal Family at Trooping the Colour today.

However, they will not appear on Buckingham Palace's balcony, as the Queen has limited the moment to working royals only.

The military display marks the start of a four-day bank holiday weekend for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, and will be deputizing for the monarch during the ceremony.

Harry and Meghan will watch on with other members of the Royal Family from the Duke of Wellington's former office overlooking Horse Guards Parade as the Prince of Wales inspects the guardsmen and officers and takes their salute.

Following the ceremony, the Queen will acknowledge the salute of the returning Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment from Buckingham Palace's balcony, with her cousin the Duke of Kent, Colonel of the Scots Guards.

The 96-year-old, who is suffering from mobility issues, will also join members of the Royal Family on the balcony for the traditional fly-past.

Despite the celebrations, Harry has received cast-iron assurances that his family will be protected by specialist police when he is in the UK.

The Met's Royalty and Specialist Protection Unit have spent weeks liaising with the Prince's team and guaranteed taxpayer-funded officers.

Harry has been in a legal row with the government over a Home Office decision to strip him of his UK security, but sources close to the Sussex camp said that he was always in favor of returning to the UK for the celebrations.

He has been in constant contact with the relevant parties and made it clear that he wouldn't travel without receiving cast-iron assurances over the safety of his family.

The Queen's gesture in sending her own car to pick up Harry and Meghan could be seen as a sign of reconciliation within the royal family.

The couple has been at odds with the family since their decision to step back from royal duties and move to the US.

However, the Platinum Jubilee celebrations provide an opportunity for the family to come together and celebrate the Queen's 70-year reign.

Harry and Meghan's attendance at Trooping the Colour is a positive step towards this, even if they will not appear on the balcony.

As the family gathers for the celebrations, the focus will be on the Queen and her remarkable reign.

The Platinum Jubilee marks a significant milestone, and the four-day bank holiday weekend will be filled with events and celebrations.

Despite the challenges of the past few years, the royal family remains an important part of British culture and history.

The Queen's gesture in sending her car to pick up Harry and Meghan is a reminder of the family's unity and the importance of coming together during times of celebration.

As the Platinum Jubilee celebrations get underway, the world will be watching to see how the royal family comes together to honor the Queen's remarkable reign.
