Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have confirmed they will be attending the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations with their children Archie and Lilibet.
A spokesperson for the couple said the couple are "excited" and "honoured" to attend the celebrations despite it being announced that there would be no place for them on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the Trooping the Colour event.
Previously it was feared that Harry, 37, may not make it with claims he may be attending a polo competition in Santa Barbara, California, from June 3 to 19, over the extended Jubilee weekend.
He also previously filed a claim for a judicial review into a Home Office decision that halted him from paying for police protection for himself and his family.
At the time, a representative said that he wanted to bring Archie and Lilibet over from California, but feared they will be 'unable to return to his home' because it is too dangerous.
However, a spokesperson for the couple said today: "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.
Lili’s first birthday falls during the Jubilee weekend on June 4 and she is yet to meet the Queen, the Prince of Wales and other members of the family.
Harry recently attended the Invictus Games at The Hague in the Netherlands with Meghan. During their trip they made a secret stop-off in the UK, where they visited the Queen at Windsor Castle.

It was announced by Buckingham Palace earlier today that Harry, Meghan and Prince Andrew are banned from appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony after Trooping the Colour.
It was announced she has limited the balcony appearance after the special Platinum Jubilee event to working royals only - with a few notable exceptions.
The Trooping the Colour event on June 2nd – the sovereign’s official birthday parade – kickstarts the four days of Jubilee festivities, with 18 members of the royal family set to gather on the famous frontage.
The Queen has said she's “looking forward” to the weekend of celebrations - with much speculation previously over who would appear on the balcony.
A Palace spokesman said: “After careful consideration, the Queen has decided this year’s traditional Trooping the Colour balcony appearance on Thursday, June 2 will be limited to Her Majesty and those members of the royal family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of the Queen.”
Joining the Queen on the balcony for Trooping will be Prince Charles, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
Also set to appear for the historic occasion will be Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and the Wessexes’ children Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.
Her Majesty has made an exception for five Royals - who are not working - but will appear on the balcony.
Princess Anne’s husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim, who is not a working royal, her two youngest grandchildren Lady Louise and James, and her Cambridge great-grandchildren George, Charlotte and Louis, will all appear.
The Palace spokesman added: “In addition, the Cambridge and Wessex children are also expected to appear as is Sir Tim Laurence, who the Queen is happy to attend as a frequent attendee and support for the Princess Royal on official engagements.”
