This weekend, a smiley Queen, dressed in apple green and pearls, celebrated the 70th anniversary of her reign.
This Platinum Jubilee weekend was low-key: Prince Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall paid tribute, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a Story on Instagram. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were conspicuous by their silence. Still, the official celebrations will come over the four-day bank holiday in June — which Harry and Meghan are expected to attend. If they make the trip (Harry is in the process of a legal challenge to allow him to personally pay for police protection to “ensure” the safety of his wife and children), it will be a family reunion in the glare of the world’s spotlight, a year after the Oprah interview widened the schism between the US and British branches of the Windsors and 18 months since the couple relocated to Montecito, a star-studded but sleepy seaside town a 90-minute drive from Los Angeles.
