A royal commentator has said that Meghan and Harry hope to be as “low-profile as possible” during their trip to the UK for The Platinum Jubilee.

Omid Scobie, author of Finding Freedom, told BBC Breakfast: “I spoke with people close to the couple… who said that they want to be as low-profile as possible during this trip.

“It’s almost hard to believe, but I think yesterday Trooping the Colour was a great example. We didn’t really catch sight of them on TV cameras.”

He added that the couple hold a “warm and close” relationship with The Queen.

00:16Yeah, I think before they arrived, there was so much talk in the press about the couple potentially overshadowing the

00:24But that was certainly the discussion amongst some of the palisades that were being quoted in newspaper articles.
00:30And, of course, I spoke with people close to the couple who said that it couldn't be further from the
00:34truth.
00:34In fact, that they want to be as low profile as possible during this trip.
00:39For them, being here is all about honouring and really celebrating the life and legacy of the Queen,
00:45someone that they've continued a very warm and close relationship with.
00:48Of course, we know that's not the same with the other family members.
00:51And today will be very interesting to see them alongside some of them.
