Meghan and Harry were spotted shushing cheeky young members of the royal family in these candid photos from the Queen’s Jubilee.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were seen playfully shushing young royals at the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations today.

The couple, who famously quit royal life back in January 2020, have returned to the UK for their first joint public appearance at a royal event since moving to America, Page Six reports.

Meghan, 40, was seen playfully placing a finger to her lips inside Buckingham Palace, telling the Queen’s great-granddaughters Savannah Phillips, 11, Isla Phillips, 10, Mia Tindall, 8 and Lena Tindall, 3, to be quiet.

Harry, 37, was soon pictured making the exact same gesture.

Meanwhile, the couple were later photographed chatting with the Queen’s cousin Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent.

Meghan went all out for her highly-anticipated royal return, wearing an off-the-shoulder dress and an eye-catching sunhat complete with a giant bow.

However, the pair were not able to join other royals on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the Trooping the Colour fly-past event, as it was limited to working royals only.

Instead, senior members of the royal family – including the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton – greeted an adoring public from the balcony for the photo op.

It’s a potentially awkward family reunion for Meghan and Harry, who have had little face-to-face contact with the royal family since their TV tell-all interview with Oprah 14 months ago.

During that sensational sit-down, the couple levelled accusations of racism at one unnamed member of the royal family, saying there were “concerns about how dark” their son Archie’s skin would be.

Meanwhile, Meghan claimed she was silenced by employees of the family and claimed sister-in-law Kate made her cry during an argument about wedding outfits ahead of her marriage to Harry.

It’s unclear whether the two women have had any contact since the bombshell interview.

Meanwhile, Harry’s relationship with older brother Prince William has soured since he left the UK to live in California.

The couple’s relationship with the Queen, however, seems more amiable.

As well as attending events for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are also expected to celebrate their daughter Lilibet’s first birthday on Saturday with the monarch.

The visit will mark the first time the sovereign has been able to meet her great-granddaughter and namesake, Lilibet.
