Prince Harry and Megan Markle arrived in the United Kingdom with their children before the platinum anniversary celebrations.
This is the first time the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have brought their family to Britain after leaving for the United States.
Harry and Megan left LAX with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, and arrived in London this afternoon with a small team of staff, Six reported.
Of course, they took a commercial plane to the United Kingdom, not their usual private plane.
The queen will meet her great-granddaughter Lilibet, who was named after her, for the first time on Saturday – when the Sussex family organized a party for her first birthday.
They will all be a ten-minute walk from Windsor Castle in Frogmore Cottage.
However, the young family will not appear with the queen on the royal balcony for Trooping the Color on Thursday.

The composition is limited to working members of the royal family, which means that Prince Andrew will also miss.
Buckingham Palace said the decision to include only working royalty was made “after careful consideration”.
But the move is being interpreted as a disregard for Harry and Megan, who left the monarchy two years ago, and for Andrew, who was expelled for his civil sexual assault case.
It is not known which elements of the four-day anniversary weekend Harry and Megan will appear on.
A spokeswoman for the couple had previously said they were “excited and honored” to attend the commemorations.
