According to new reports, the Queen said she is “humbled and deeply touched” by the public’s response to her Platinum Jubilee after delighting royal fans by closing the historic celebrations by appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony with the future kings. In a written message, Her Majesty said she remained “committed to serving you to the best of my ability, supported by my family” and that her “heart has been with you all” when she missed parts of festivities.
Queen Elizabeth Says She Feels ‘Humbled’ After Closing Jubilee Weekend Festivities
“When it comes to how to mark 70 years as your Queen, there is no guidebook to follow. It really is a first. But I have been humbled and deeply touched that so many people have taken to the streets to celebrate my Platinum Jubilee,” continued the message, signed Elizabeth R.
The monarch, dressed in green, was joined by three generations of her family with the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Cambridge family by her side waving to the crowds. Their appearance came shortly after the Royal Standard was raised above the residence just after 4.30pm, signaling the 96-year-old monarch had arrived at the Palace from Windsor Castle and prompting many to cram into The Mall in anticipation.
The royals’ appearance lasted less than three minutes, during which thousands of people on The Mall sang the National Anthem.
However, the Queen has not been seen in public since Thursday, the first day of the celebrations. Also, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were absent on the second day of the celebrations, but Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis joined their parents, Kate and William along with Prince Charles, Camilla and Princess Anne in the royal box to watch the street carnival extravaganza.
