Harry and Meghan make first public appearance at queen’s Platinum Jubilee

  Crowds outside St. Paul’s Cathedral gave a round of hurrahs, as well as some jeers, for Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as the couple made their first public appearance during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee — and their first joint appearance in Britain since they quit their jobs as royals. The couple remained behind the scenes on the first big day of jubilee celebrations. They weren’t invited to join the queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Photographers caught just a glimpse of Meghan playing with some of the queen’s great-grandchildren in a window above the Trooping the Colour military parade route.

But Harry and Meghan were allowed their moment on Friday, joining the family for a service of thanksgiving — though walking in separately from the working royals, and then being seated in the second row. It wasn’t the kid’s table, but it wasn’t the head table, either.

Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, got bigger applause from the crowd outside as they entered the Anglican cathedral in the heart of London. The church bells rang as Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, arrived.

There was a mixed reaction from spectators to the entrance of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife, Carrie Johnson. Some booed.
