Is there any way back for Harry?
As the royals pay tribute to the wartime generation, Emily considers how a reconciliation might happen, plus Prince George's unexpected outing
Hi everyone, it’s Emily here – back after a brief hiatus.
What. A. Week.
It’s been an absolute privilege to be out covering royals and veterans attending at the magnificent VE day commemorations over the past few days, along with the first Garden Party of the season at Buckingham Palace.
I’ve watched the royal family cheer on a military procession and appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch a flypast, joined the Queen for the opening of The Tower Remembers poppy display at the Tower of London and attended a national service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey and the poignant VE Day concert on Horse Guards Parade.
But on the eve of one of the busiest and most significant periods of royal engagements since the Coronation, and just when the stage looked set for four days fully focused on the bravery and sacrifice of the wartime generation, another huge royal story entered the frame.
