MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have been invited to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
But questions remain over whether the battling royals will share a public balcony appearance outside Buckingham Palace.
The Queen has extended an olive branch to the Sussexes by inviting them to her mammoth Platinum Jubilee celebrations in summer.
According to the Mail on Sunday, the Duke and Duchess plan to attend the Queen’s official birthday parade which will take place over four days next June.

The Sussexes intend returning to the UK for the special occasion.

Harry claimed his dad and brother were "trapped" in the Royal Firm, while Meghan revealed she had had suicidal thoughts during her time as a working royal.

The princes will not offer an olive branch to each other before unveiling the specially commissioned statue of their beloved mum, claims a pal.
Joint friends of both siblings don't believe they will mend their rift, despite being in the same country at the same time, according to the Sunday Times.
One said: "Neither are offering an olive branch.
"I fear it will be the same as at Prince Philip's funeral, a nod of recognition and that's about it."
Another source admitted to being worried that "on the day it will be difficult to separate the statue from the occasion, which is now loaded with all sorts of unwelcome baggage."

BODY LANGUAGE EXPERT SAYS WILLIAM IS EMERGING AS FRONT RUNNER LEADER
The tragic death of Prince Philip has left the family in a turbulent storm, which has become increasingly problematic with new allegations against family members.
Despite the problems, a body language expert has said that William has stepped up and is taking control.
Judi James, body language expert, spoke to Fabulous Digital about her observations: “When the powerful alpha male of any family group dies there are always some of that group who will step up and others who will be knocked back.
“The shift in hierarchy and group dynamics will often have little to do with accepted pecking order and more to do with strength of personality, and in the royal Firm it has been William who has been emerging as a front-runner leader, showing signs of fast-track maturity as he eases into a more actively dominant role.”

MEGHAN AND HARRY FACE BACKLASH AFTER THEY TRY TO CLAIM THEY WEREN'T MISLEADING WITH 'CUT OFF' OPRAH CLAIMS
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have tried to claim they weren't misleading the public when they moaned that Prince Charles "cut them off" during their explosive Oprah chat.
The Duke of Sussex told the world he was “cut off financially” by the Royals when he sat down for his infamous interview with Oprah earlier this year.
But Prince Charles’ annual report, released last night, showed his youngest son received a “substantial” sum from him after Megxit.
Figures show he gave both the Sussexes and Cambridges a share of £4.45million, despite Harry claiming he had been hung out to dry by the Firm.
Harry famously told Oprah he had been "cut off in the first quarter of 2020" – allowing the public to believe he meant January to March.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes said “it’s inaccurate to suggest that there’s a contradiction", and insisted Harry was talking about the first quarter of the financial year from April 2020.

PRINCESS DIANA WOULD'VE BEEN 'DEVASTATED' TO SEE WILLIAM AND HARRY'S BOND 'DESTROYED'
When Princes William and Harry announced that they had commissioned a memorial to Princess Diana in the run-up to the 20th anniversary of her death in 2017.
They did so in a joint statement that declared: “We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace reflect on her life and her legacy.”
Katie Nicholl, author of Harry And Meghan, says: “I think Diana’s legacy must be her enormous capacity for supporting the most vulnerable in society. She used the unique position she had to shine a spotlight on those who had no voice.
"She was way ahead of her time, unafraid to push at royal boundaries and protocol. She really made a difference. She didn’t have time to fulfil her legacy because her life was tragically cut short, but her sons are continuing her work in different ways.”

MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY ACCUSED OF ‘ONLY CARING ABOUT IMAGE’ AFTER REFUSING EARL TITLE FOR ARCHIE
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are “dumb” and “only care about their image” after reportedly refusing the Earl of Dumbarton title for Archie, a royal expert said today.
It came to light today after The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have rejected the Earl title for Archie because it contained the word “dumb”.
But royal author Phil Dampier today accused the couple of simply wanting to “control every aspect of their lives and how they are perceived by the public”.
He told The Sun Online: “Turning down the title because it had the word ‘dumb’ in it shows the fundamental lack of knowledge that Meghan has about royalty and British history.
“To reject using it for this reason is dumb itself, you can’t just alter or dismiss ancient titles when it suits you.
“It shows how much Harry and Meghan care about their image and want to control every aspect of their lives and how they are perceived by the public, particularly in the US, where their future lies.”
