LONDON (AP) — Buckingham Palace on Friday answered the biggest remaining questions about Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations: Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, won’t be on the palace balcony when the monarch greets the public on June 2. The balcony appearance is a centerpiece moment of many royal celebrations, with the royal family smiling and waving to loyal subjects and millions of fans watching on television around the world. But the build up to the ceremonies marking Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne have been dogged by questions about whether Andrew, Harry and Meghan would attend amid public scandals and family tensions.
