At thanksgiving service, US-based couple were separated from the most senior royals by an aisle

• Platinum jubilee: live coverage

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's return to Britain has, so far, been extremely low-key. Invited by the Queen to join the family for the platinum jubilee celebrations, the couple were never going to be on the balcony for the official flypast after trooping the colour. They were, however, invited to watch the ceremony, along with other members of the royal family, from offices overlooking Horse Guards Parade.

But for the endeavours of long-lens photographers who managed to capture through the window grainy shots of the two briefly larking around with the young children of Zara and Mike Tindall, there was little evidence they were even present.
