Royal family news – live: Sussexes release photograph of daughter Lilibet after arriving in US

The Queen will not attend the Epsom Derby on Saturday as planned, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

However, the monarch is expected to watch the sporting event on TV from Windsor Castle.

Olivia Petter reports.

The Queen has met her great-granddaughter, Lilibet Mountbatten Windsor, for the first time, according to reports.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in London this weekend with their two children for the monarch’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

According to royal commentator Omid Scobie, co-author of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s biography Finding Freedom, the couple introduced their youngest child to the Queen on Thursday.

Home Secretary Priti Patel has turned heads at arriving at St Paul’s Cathedral for the National Thanksgiving Service during the Platinum Jubilee with her shocking pink outfit.

The controversial Tory minister was amongst the politicians at the service, which included Boris Johnson who received a mix of boos and cheers when he arrived at the cathedral with his wife Carrie.

However, Patel almost stole the show with her bright pink dress and hat, which immediately earned her comparisons to Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter.

Greg Evans reports.

Harry was spotted laughing with Princess Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, suggesting a closeness between the two couples.

Earlier this year, his cousin Eugenie became the first member of the royal family to visit the duke and duchess at their home in California.

In another photograph, Harry and her sister Beatrice were seen swapping expressions with other royals – most likely Zara and Mike Tindall – seated across the aisle.

Five members of the military fainted while on duty at the national thanksgiving service.

Personnel from the Royal Air Force, Royal Marines, Household Cavalry and Coldstream Guards collapsed while stationed at St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday morning.

Two members of the military guard of honour - one from the Royal Air Force Regiment and another from the Royal Marines - appeared to lose consciousness within half an hour of each other as they lined the steps up to the Great West Door waiting for the royal family to arrive.

The member of the Royal Air Force fainted and fell flat on his back on the steps before regaining consciousness.

The other man, who was standing closer to the Great West Door, momentarily appeared to lose consciousness approximately 20 minutes later, stumbling on the top steps before regaining his balance and being taken under the columns of the cathedral.

They were able to be escorted on foot away from the steps, despite stretchers being brought out.

It was a very warm and sunny day in London, with temperatures hovering at around 20C at the start of the service.

Meghan Markle earned high praise for her “understated” appearance, arriving at St Paul’s Cathedral in a sleek Dior belted coat. Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge turned heads in a crisp white Alexander McQueen blazer dress.
