The Queen’s attendance at various Platinum Jubilee events has been up in the air this whole weekend—after attending Trooping the Colour on Thursday and making not one but two Buckingham Palace balcony appearances, the Queen participated in the Beacon lighting ceremony at her home of Windsor Castle before not being seen publicly for the next two days’ worth of events, staying at Windsor Castle because of ongoing physical mobility issues.
But, when the Royal Standard flag was raised above Buckingham Palace this afternoon as the Platinum Jubilee Pageant drew to a close, hope sprang high that Her Majesty would close the four-day festivities with one final Buckingham Palace balcony appearance—which she did, as “God Save the Queen” was sung in her honor.
Looking radiant in bright green, the Queen was joined only by Prince Charles and wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and the five-member Cambridge family—Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The Queen and her three heirs stood next to one another, providing a powerful look at the monarchy's present, and its future.Her appearance immediately followed an emotional rendition of Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect,” which he performed in honor of the Queen and her late husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, her husband of over 73 years before his passing in April 2021.
The balcony appearance concludes the Platinum Jubilee, honoring Her Majesty’s historic 70 years on the throne.
