And there will be an attempt to break the record for the world’s longest street party. The queen, though, may miss the races to attend a birthday party for her great-granddaughter. - Trooping the Colour: On Thursday morning, 1,400 officers and soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians will participate in a parade that has marked the official birthday of the British monarch for more than 260 years. From parades to a pop concert at Buckingham Palace, Britain is commemorating an unprecedented Platinum Jubilee year of the monarchy with a four-day weekend. The queen would traditionally ride with the military parade on horseback but in recent years has shifted to driving alongside in a carriage. The beginning of his 50th year on the throne was marked with church services, feasts, fireworks and souvenirs. But in 1959, she shifted it to the second Saturday. It has been a central feature of the British royal calendar for more than 260 years and sees a huge display of over 1,400 parading soldiers, many clad in iconic red uniforms and black bearskin hats. But her father, King George VI, was born on Dec. 14, and he tended to mark his official birthday on the second Thursday in June. She has anchored the country through uncertainty — and the royal family’s own dramas. In her note, the queen urges that people should look back but also forward. The castle tower and a statue of King Charles II are out of focus in the background.

All the Best Photos of Trooping the Colour 2022 (TownandCountrymag.com)

Under blue skies in London, Queen Elizabeth and her family kicked off the Platinum Jubilee celebration weekend in style.

Queen Elizabeth wore a dove blue coat with pearl and diamante trim, believed to be the same one pictured in her official Platinum Jubilee portrait. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis made their Trooping the Colour carriage debut today. The Queen's only daughter, Princess Anne, is a royal colonel. "It's to celebrate the fact that she's lived so long," one Londoner told the BBC. "I only became a British citizen last year—I'm originally from Greece—and I think it is important to celebrate her legacy. Though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, along with their two children, are in London for the Jubilee celebrations, they will not be appearing on the balcony. The annual military spectacle, which typically marks the Queen's birthday, took place this morning in London. The entire British royal family—with the exception of Prince Andrew—were in attendance.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are also in town for Platinum Jubilee events with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, but will not be on the balcony with Kate and William. Kate and William will miss any later private festivities for Lilibet's first birthday on June 4. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said early last month, “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.”

To kick off Queen Elizabeth's four-day-long Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the 2022 Trooping the Colour parade has at last returned to Buckingham Palace.

To attend the parade in previous years, the Duchess of Cambridge typically opted for monochrome pastel looks. Kate rode in via carriage along with George, Charlotte, Louis, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Camilla wore a striped light blue dress with a matching minty blue hat. (The Cambridges were notably absent from the scaled-down affairs that took place in 2021 and 2020.)

Harry and Meghan, along with their kids Archie and Lilibet, arrived in the U.K. for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

This year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are keeping a low profile as they attend Queen Elizabeth's annual birthday parade. Today marks the parade's return to Buckingham Palace. The couple—who arrived in London yesterday afternoon with their children, three-year-old Archie and 11-month-old Lilibet—last made a public appearance at the parade in 2019, prior to them stepping down as senior members of the royal family in 2020.

Meghan Markle is out on the royal event circuit for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee—and she brought back her royal style for the occasion.

“Being with her, it was great,” Harry said of meeting the Queen with Meghan that month. Meghan and Harry were not part of the carriage procession and weren't on the balcony with the Queen for the flypast. Meghan and Harry are spectators at the parade this year rather than part of the procession.

Kate Middleton wore an Alexander McQueen dress for the Trooping the Colour ceremony, paired with jewels previously owned by Princess Diana.

As expected, there was no sign on the balcony of the queen’s other grandson, Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, although they are expected to meet with the queen at some point during the four-day celebration. The duchess, along with her husband Prince William and their children George, Charlotte and Louis, all gathered to celebrate with the queen. In previous Trooping the Colour ceremonies, Middleton has also looked to Alexander McQueen for her looks, wearing a pale yellow dress with a matching Philip Treacy fascinator and a light blue dress with a matching Juliette Botterill hat in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Though Thursday's Trooping the Colour parade celebrates the Queen's official birthday, it is doubling as a curtain-raiser for her four-day jubilee weekend. They returned to the UK to visit the Queen in a secret meeting in April, and Harry attended a memorial service for his late grandfather Prince Philip last year, but they have not joined a royal event together since that departure.

Trooping the colour kicks off Queen's platinum jubilee celebrations (The Guardian)

Prince of Wales takes salute on his mother's behalf while flag-waving crowd enjoys parade and flypast.

It was military pageantry at its best, with swords, medals, buttons and breastplates gleaming brightly in the sunshine while horses and soldiers carried out complex battlefield drill manoeuvres to a specially composed programme of music. A small number of especially devout royal fans had camped overnight to secure the best vantage points. The flypast of more than 70 aircraft including Apache helicopters, Typhoons and the Red Arrows thundered over a packed Mall, where crowds had gathered from early morning transforming it into a sea of red, white and blue. There was one glaring absentee: the Duke of York. Stripped of royal patronages and affiliations after settling a civil suit in the US over sexual assault claims, he was not present. This weekend Meghan will attend her first public engagement with the royal family since an awkward Commonwealth Day service in Westminster Abbey in March 2020. They are expected to attend a service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s on Friday.
