Her Majesty ‘humbled’ by Platinum Jubilee as she makes surprise Palace balcony appearance

[ad_1]

THE Queen was left “humbled and touched” by her Platinum Jubilee celebrations as she appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Her Majesty, 96, was absent for much of the extended Bank Holiday weekend, after finding the first day enjoyable but tiring.

But in a message of thanks, the monarch acknowledged her health but said her “heart” had been with well-wishers during the Platinum Jubilee.

The Duchess of Cornwall, patron of the Big Lunch, estimated that up to 18 million people could have taken part in Jubilee street parties, and the Queen expressed her hope this “renewed sense of togetherness” would be felt for years to come.

After the outpouring of public affection during her balcony appearance, the Queen said she was “humbled and deeply touched” so many people had taken part in celebrations marking her 70-year reign.

Surrounded by her family, she was cheered by thousands of well-wishers after stepping on to the balcony following the Platinum Pageant, which told the story of her life, and the nation, with an eccentric, fun and imaginative carnival-like display.

Smiling as she acknowledged the spectators, she looked down on The Mall where tens of thousands had waited in hope of seeing her

  • Camilla takes on ‘supporting, nurturing role’ at Jubilee celebrations

    As Jubilee Celebrations came to end, the top brass of the Royal family took to the Buckingham Palace Balcony to bid farewell, and thank you, to the nation.

    One of the figures on top of the balcony was Camilla, who according to Darren Stanton, a body language expert, took on a “supporting, nurturing role.”

    He said: “Camilla, meanwhile, was dressed in white – a neutral colour that is elegant but psychologically reveals that she didn’t want to be seen to be standing out too much.

    “It solidifies her position within a supporting, nurturing role standing alongside her husband Charles.

    “While the balcony looked somewhat depleted because of the absence of Harry and Meghan, the Royals in attendance showed strength and solidarity in the now senior Royal family as they stood together.

    “We are beginning to see more and more appearances with Charles and Camilla alongside Kate and William – often the four are seen matching and mirroring each other’s body position, especially Charles and William, proving just how in sync they are as they prepare themselves to take over from the Queen and rule.”

  • Kate shows ‘genuine emotion’ as she shares heartfelt moment with The Queen

    Darren Stanton, a body language expert, took a look the behaviour of the Royal family during the Jubilee celebrations this weekend.

    According to the expert, Kate and Her Majesty shared a truly heartfelt moment, as both women stood regally atop Buckingham palace’s balcony.

    Speaking on behalf on Betfair Casino, he said: “Kate was dressed in her trademark confidence colour – a striking red. It’s the colour she likes to wear when she wants to appear self-assured and in a position of power.

    “While such a colour allows Kate to stand out and ensures she catches the eye, Kate doesn’t crave the spotlight and instead appeared quietly confident.

    “She is more than happy to stand on the peripheral, letting the Queen and her future heirs take centre stage instead. There was a great moment, where Kate and the Queen were seen catching each other’s eye.

    “Both Royals showed genuine emotion, with the faces truly engaged, as they beamed huge smiles at one another. While a fleeting moment, it portrays the strong bond and connection the Queen and the Kate share, as well as the mutual respect they have for one another. “

  • Prince Charles filled with ‘admiration’ for Her Majesty, expert claims

    A body language expert took a look at the final Jubilee celebration last night, to study what exactly each member of the Firm were feeling in the final moments.

    Darren Stanton, speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, said of Charles and The Queen: “Dressed all in green, the Queen was seen waving to the many thousands that had attended the Jubilee celebrations on the final day.

    “Always sincere in her emotions, it was clear to see the Queen wanted to make that final appearance to thank the crowds and the public for their support. 

    “Flanked by son Prince Charles, there were a few moments where Charles was seen looking adoringly at his mother of whom he calls ‘mummy’. It was an expression that showed sheer admiration and he took a protective stance of the Queen standing close yet behind her while on the balcony.”

  • The reassuring words Meghan said to Harry during Jubilee ceremony

    A lip reading expert has analysed the conversation the Duke and Duchess had during the Thanksgiving ceremony at St Pauls Cathedral.

    At one point, Meg can be seen telling the Prince: “Yeah, will be fine”.

    Presumably, Meghan is reassuring her husband here, who may have been nervous about his relationship with the Royal family.

    The pair kept a low profile over the weekend, as they celebrated both the platinum Jubilee and their daughter, Lilibet’s, first birthday.

  • Inside look at Lilibet’s first birthday party

    A low-key garden party was held at Windsor’s Frogmore Cottage with picnic-style snacks, a birthday cake, balloons and party games.

    Sources said: “It was a lovely do and had everything you’d expect from a child’s birthday party.

    “But there was no formal entertainment. The idea was for it to be very relaxed and casual, with people free to pop in and out as they wished.

    “It was a nice opportunity for the other royal children to meet Lilibet for the first time.

    “And as her first birthday is such a milestone, there was lots of discussion ahead of time about the presents that she would be given on the day.

    “One idea that proved very popular was a £75 pink Volkswagen Beetle ride-on toy, which had been spotted in Selfridges.”

    The Sun revealed yesterday that Lilibet had finally met her great-grandmother the Queen, after whom she was named.
