Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew won't make an appearance on Buckingham Palace's balcony for the Queen's Jubilee

• The Sussexes and Prince Andrew won't join the Queen on the palace balcony at the Jubilee in June.
• A palace spokesperson told Insider that only royals undertaking royal duties will take part.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew will not appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the opening of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, a palace spokesperson confirmed to Insider on Friday.

"After careful consideration, The Queen has decided this year's traditional Trooping the Colour balcony appearance on Thursday 2nd June 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," the statement reads.

The list of people invited to join the Queen on the balcony include The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children, The Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children, The Princess Royal and Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, The Duke of Kent, and Princess Alexandra, the statement added.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes confirmed on Friday that although they won't appear on the balcony, the couple will travel to London to celebrate the Jubilee.

"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," a spokesperson for the Sussexes told Insider.

The Trooping the Colour parade is held every year in June for the monarch's birthday and this year it will be used to mark Her Majesty's 70 years on the British throne.

It marks a change in tradition, as non-working members of the royal family, such as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have previously been invited to attend with the Queen.

This comes after Prince Harry told NBC News in April that his attendance would depend on security issues.

"I don't know yet. There's lots of things with security issues and everything else," Harry said. "This is what I'm trying to do, trying to make it possible that I can get my kids to meet her."

In January, it was announced that Prince Andrew would not be attending the Platinum Jubilee at all after the Queen stripped him of all military titles.
