Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Celebration Will Be Led By Kate Middleton and Prince William

“Members of the Royal Family will attend engagements in each nation, including public events marking the occasion,” the Palace announced.

Kate Middleton and Prince William will lead Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations across the United Kingdom.

During the central celebrating weekend next month, they will be the most senior members of the Royal Family leaving London.

Princess Anne will travel to Scotland, and Prince Edward and Sophie, The Countess of Wessex will travel to Northern Ireland, where William and Kate resided for a short years when they first married more than a decade ago.

The palace said in a simple statement, “Over the course of the Central Weekend, Members of the Royal Family will visit the Nations of the United Kingdom to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. Members of the Royal Family will attend engagements in each nation, including public events marking the occasion.”

The Queen and her late husband Prince Philip visited several areas across Britain during the run-up to the corresponding June weekends in prior years, according to royal sources, such as the Golden and Diamond Jubilees.

Because the Queen is now 96 and mostly restricted to less strenuous tasks at Windsor Castle, the family and their advisers decided it would be fitting to have some of them out and about outside of London and around the country.

The away days, which will take place during the central weekend in early June, have yet to be confirmed in terms of dates and locations.

The annual Trooping the Colour parade will kick off the Platinum Jubilee celebrations on Thursday, June 2. While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have confirmed that they will visit the United Kingdom next month, they will not be appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the end of the parade, it was reported on Friday.

According to a palace spokesman, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were left out of the lineup since they are not working members of the royal family.

Prince Andrew, who is no longer a working royal due to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, will also not be on the balcony for Trooping the Colour, which commemorates the Queen’s official birthday every year.

“After careful consideration, the Queen has decided that this year’s traditional Trooping the Colour balcony appearance on Thursday 2nd of June will be limited to Her Majesty and those members of the Royal Family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of the Queen,” a Buckingham Palace spokesman said.

The Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, William and Kate, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, will emerge on the balcony. Princess Anne and her husband, Prince Edward, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and their two daughters, will also be in attendance, as will the Queen’s relatives, the Duke of Kent, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and Princess Alexandra.

“Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honoured to attend The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children,” a spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said in a statement announcing their arrival in the United Kingdom with their two children Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana.

A special documentary including never-before-seen home movies of the monarch, including a sweet moment when she got engaged to Prince Philip, will premiere to start off the week of commemorations. During a visit to Balmoral Castle in Scotland in 1946, Princess Elizabeth is seen gazing at her engagement ring, years before her imminent wedding was publicised.

The video uses rare home movies from the 1920s, most of which were filmed by members of the royal family. The British Film Institute, on behalf of the Royal Collection Trust, has kept them hidden for decades.

The documentary will premiere on the BBC and its streaming iPlayer service on May 29 and will follow the Queen’s journey from being pushed in a pram by her mother as a newborn to her Coronation at the age of 27 in 1953, according to the broadcaster. Following the death of her father, George VI, Elizabeth became Queen in February 1952.
