Royals set to 'breathe sigh of relief' over Harry and Meghan memorial decision

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were expected to return to the UK from the United States later this year to join the Queen and the rest of the extended family to celebrate the monarch's Platinum Jubilee.

The Queen also agreed for a Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey for her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, to be held on an as yet unspecified date, reports the Daily Star.
