Not only will they take part in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee festivities with Her Majesty and other members of the Firm, but their daughter Lilibet is also turning one.

But behind closed doors and amid the national Jubilee celebrations, it's likely that Harry and Meghan will also mark Lili's first birthday in an extra special way.
Harry and Meghan will join in the festivities but will not make a balcony appearance
The couple's spokesperson confirmed that they will make the trip to the UK on Friday, saying: "Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honoured to attend The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children."
It will be the first time Harry and Meghan have brought their family to the UK since leaving for the US in 2020. The Duke previously said he had wanted to return to his home country but felt it wasn't safe to due to his lack of security.
The announcement comes shortly after Buckingham Palace confirmed that Harry and Meghan would not be among the royals making a balcony appearance at Trooping the Colour. Only working royals will take part, such as Prince William and Kate, and their children, and Prince Charles and Camilla.
