Royal family members missing from Buckingham Palace balcony and where they were – including Prince Andrew
On Thursday, high ranking members of the Royal Family joined the Queen on her Buckingham Palace balcony as they watched over the Trooping the Colour ceremony, as well as the Red Arrows display.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the last balcony appearance was in 2019 when the royals gathered to watch the Royal Air Force flypast during Trooping the Colour – the annual celebration celebrating the queen's birthday. "They're very well aware this makes a statement, it's so important. This is one element they can control, so there are no ambiguous signals. If they allowed Prince Andrew, you can imagine the response."It was confirmed earlier on Thursday that the Duke of York tested positive for the virus and thus will be unable to attend the weekend's events.
Her grandson Prince William was joined by his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
