The first Tropping The Colour after disappearance of Prince Philip, the second away from the balcony of Buckingham Palace surrounded by the entire royal family. But the smile was not lacking rmade by Elizabeth II, during the most ancient and noble ceremony that pays homage to the English Crown and officially celebrates the birthday of the Queen, 95 years old, on April 21st. For two centuries, tradition has it that the sovereign’s birthday is celebrated on the second weekend of June.
Again due to the restrictive measures imposed by the pandemic, the military parade, which has always been an opportunity for the royal family to show itself in full, took place inside the quadrangle of the Windosor castle in a very reduced form. As officially announced by Buckingham Palace last March. Currently in the UK, outdoor meetings are limited to thirty people and those indoors are limited to six people or two families.
Up to two years old the ceremony took place in the central streets of London, in the presence of about 1400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians. A show with an ancient charm and very dear to Elizabeth II, who has always been a lover of horses.
If last year Queen Elizabeth was forced by Covid to attend the ceremony alone, this year she had the opportunity to be accompanied by a member of the family. At his side was his cousin Edoardo, Duke of Kent. Many would have expected the son, heir to the throne, Charles but perhaps the queen chose the duke precisely in order not to cause any discontent among the children.
Last time we saw Buckingham Palace look out on the balcony too Kate Middleton and Prince William it was 2019, when the three royal babies were present with them: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at its first appearance. It was the year we saw together the Duchess of Cambridge, strictly in yellow Alexander McQueen and Meghan Markle, in blue Givenchy, who returned that time to go public for the first time after the birth of little Archie. They had been described as day and night, an unconscious metaphor of what came a few months later.
