Later in the day, at around 2pm, the Queen will again appear on the balcony to watch the RAF overflight. She is expected to accompany her children Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Edward and their wives, grandson Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton and their children. Three of her cousins are also expected to arrive on the balcony this afternoon.
Thus, three members of the royal family are absent. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, who live in California, America, have distanced themselves from the family and are no longer welcome. Prince Andrew, the Queen’s youngest son, has also been banned from the balcony since he was removed from office following sexual assault allegations.
Since 2019, the Queen has appeared on the palace balcony, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
