Although the queen is surely thrilled her grandson and his family will attend this special event, Harry and Meghan will be excluded from standing on the royal balcony with Elizabeth. The decision comes as Prince Charles was reportedly worried that Harry and Meghan would try to steal the spotlight from Queen Elizabeth during the event. 

"Charles wants the Platinum Jubilee to focus only on the Queen," a source told The Sun. "This is the Queen's show and should be about her and her 70 years of service rather than Meghan's fashion, the kids and Harry. They don't want it to become the Harry and Meghan show. Charles and all the family are agreed on that."

One of the biggest concerns for those close to Elizabeth is Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex traveled with a camera crew to the Invictus Games, and the insider explained that Buckingham Palace is worried that they will "want to film behind the scenes or be in the crowd at the Jubilee as its better footage for the documentary."

To make sure Harry and Meghan don't do anything to interfere with the Jubilee, royal staffers are doing everything they can to protect the queen.

Palace staff have advised Harry and Meghan to leave the Netflix cameras at home

Royal staffers aren't taking any chances when it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's visit to the U.K. for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are busy filming for their upcoming Netflix documentary, camera crews will not be allowed access to any of the queen's events taking place this summer.

"There is an absolutely a ring of steel around the queen in terms of her advisors," royal commentator Russell Myers told the Daily Mail. "I mean, they certainly would be advising Harry and Megan to not even think about it for a second, but who knows what they will do?"

As Buckingham Palace worries about Harry and Meghan, Prince William and Kate Middleton are leading the celebrations with a trip to Wales. In addition, Princess Anne will visit Scotland, and Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, will travel to Northern Ireland.

"Over the course of the Central Weekend, Members of the Royal Family will visit the Nations of the United Kingdom to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee," Buckingham Palace said in a statement, per People. "Members of the Royal Family will attend engagements in each nation, including public events marking the occasion."
