Queen May Cancel Plans to Spend Time with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Amidst Derby Rumors

Queen Elizabeth II's planned visit to Epsom for the Derby on Saturday is off, with the Princess Royal attending on her behalf.

However, Royal Correspondent Richard Palmer explained how the Queen could still attend if she feels well enough.

There has been a lot of reporting around the fact that the Queen is now not expected to go to the Derby on Saturday and instead is likely to be spending it with Harry and Meghan and their children at some sort of celebration for Lilibet's first birthday.

From everything that Palmer has been told, the assumption on the part of the people who work for the Royal Household is that the Queen will not go to the Derby, but it has not been entirely ruled out.

The Queen may not have a runner in the Epsom Derby, but she now has a horse to cheer on the day after one of her thoroughbreds was entered into a race.

Just Fine will feature in the penultimate race on Saturday and comes after three of the Queen's horses were withdrawn from the Derby.

One of the Queen's regular jockeys, Hayley Turner, said, “I know she'll always watch the race.

I ride for Andrew Balding, and he'll always say, she'll be watching.

If she's there in person, she comes to the paddock before the race, and she doesn't come back unless the horses won.

The trainer will give her the feedback.”

Moreover, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be allowed to publish a picture of the Queen meeting Lilibet because of fears it might overshadow the monarch's plans, according to royal photographer Arthur Edwards.

Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the family member's first meeting have been warned against expecting a slew of pictures to be released by one royal expert, with the focus likely to be on other events at the Jubilee celebrations.

Edwards has doubled down on his stance, saying that if they publish a picture when the Queen meets Lilibet, that will wipe everything else out.

There are growing fears that a Sussex bomb is about to be dropped on the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and it could cause a right royal headache.

It has been said that royal courtiers have been doing a lot to diffuse any potential flashpoints.

Despite this, there is the prospect of a Netflix film crew also making an appearance, something which is allegedly going to be an inflicting consternation.

The palace stays accountable for the official engagements the couple plan to attend as they're on the visitor listing for Friday's service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral, though presumably not within the royal procession.

It also reported that the royal couple stick to the script by avoiding visits elsewhere.

Katie Nicholl, royal editor of Vanity Fair, observed that the Queen has the most remarkable capacity for forgiveness, and she thinks that's what you're going to see with the Sussexes.

Not everyone on the panel agreed, however.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards warned against the possibility of the Sussexes stealing the spotlight from the monarch.

He hopes that they don't turn up with a photographer to do that and put it out, and he doesn't think the Queen will allow it anyway.

In conclusion, while the Queen's plans to attend the Epsom Derby on Saturday are off, there is still a possibility that she might attend if she feels well enough.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be allowed to publish a picture of the Queen meeting Lilibet because of fears it might overshadow the monarch's plans.

There are growing fears that a Sussex bomb is about to be dropped on the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and it could cause a right royal headache.
