Why Meghan and Harry are reuniting with the royal family
It seems wounds are healing within the royal family, following reports Harry and Meghan have been invited to Buckingham Palace to celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee
If in attendance, the Duke and Duchess will likely stand on the palace balcony with their fellow royals, during the “trooping the colour” parade.
Prince Harry remains in a tense legal battle with the Home Office over security while visiting the UK, which may be a potential deterrent.
The news follows the pair recently meeting with Queen Elizabeth in-person and successfully hosting the 2022 Invictus Games in the Netherlands.
It’s believed the invitation was given following this quick stop-off, as the Queen prepares to celebrate her 96th birthday.
Harry and Megan also found time to meet with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla.
Speaking to the BBC, Harry says “it was great” to see his grandmother.

EU launches antitrust probe into Meta over WhatsApp AI policy
EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.
EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.
The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.
Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.
The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
