Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the 95-year-old monarch will award the medals to a large number of her relatives.
And that will include those who no longer or have never undertaken official engagements on her behalf.
Harry and Meghan, who have been mired in controversy since going to the US and dropping royal duties, will also receive the medals.
Andrew, 61, has been lying low as he faces a US civil court case over claims of sexual assault, which he strenuously denies. He stepped back from royal duties in 2019 because of the scandal surrounding his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Around 400,000 medals will be presented to frontline members of the emergency and prison services and Armed Forces who have all completed five years’ work to thank them for their public service.
Also receiving them will be members of the Royal Household with one year’s service, and living recipients of the George and Victoria Cross.
