Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted more prominent seats at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations but were forced to back down on the Queen's orders, a royal author has claimed.
The Sussexes came to the UK for the festivities last month but only made one public appearance - at a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.
They arrived at the venue alongside other non-working royals including Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and their husbands.
