The party will last several days and for good reason. It is 70 years of reign, all the same, that Elizabeth II celebrates from June 2, 2022 with her Platinum Jubilee. The Queen of England is officially the sovereign having obtained the record of longevity on the throne of England, and should keep it for centuries since her successors are already 73 years old – Prince Charles – and 39 years old – Prince William. It is also surrounded by members of the royal family that she appears, twice, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Young and old have indeed gathered on the heights of the palace, except Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their children Archie and Lilibet Diana – since they no longer carry out official public engagements on behalf of the Queen and they are exiled to California. On the balcony we therefore find Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, James, Viscount Severn , Princess Anne, Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke of Kent, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Princess Alexandra, but above all Kate MiddletonPrince William and their three children.
