It’s the biggest and most important event on the royal calendar – the queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations, set to take place in June next year to pay homage to the monarch’s record-breaking 70 years on the throne. Several days’ worth of events are being planned in England to honour the reign of a woman who has dedicated her life to duty and country.

But what should be a happy if busy preparation period is being overshadowed by yet another bomb that has been dropped on the royal family.
