The Duke has reportedly pledged to take part in the whole Folded Hills Pope Challenge polo tournament between May 9-15.
Harry is also playing in the Lisle Nixon Cup between May 20 to 29.
He has aslo reportedly confirmed that he will play in the Cheval Athletics USPA Intra-Circuit tournament. That competition will take place between June 3 and June 19.
This would mean that Harry will miss the Jubilee weekend, which begins on June 2 and ends on June 5.
Prince Harry news
Angela Levin, a royal expert, gave her opinion on the latest news on Twitter earlier today (Thursday, May 5).
“Harry’s priorities of polo over Jubilee blow away any hint he really cares about his grandmother, whatever excuses he comes up with,” she said.
“Many people will be relieved he stays away but not the most important person of all – the Queen,” she added.
Tom Bower, a royal author, told the MailOnline: “There have always been serious doubts that Harry and Meghan would come to the celebrations. Firstly because as private citizens they could not be in the spotlight on the balcony.
“Secondly because Princes Charles and William are furious about their lies about them in the Oprah Winfrey interview and, after Harry’s recent NBC interview, no longer trust him and Meghan to behave properly. Third, because Meghan hasn’t got the courage to face Kate after her misleading allegations in the Oprah interview.”
Upon hearing the news that Harry may miss the Jubilee celebrations, plenty of royal fans aired their opinions on Twitter.
“Already making excuses for not come. Fine, you won’t be missed at all. Actually nobody wanted you in the first place,” one royal fan tweeted.
“Let them be…The British Monarchy doesn’t need them at all,” another said.
