Queen Elizabeth’s great-grandkids are joining in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations!According to a new report, the majority of the monarch’s 12 great-grandchildren will take part in a pageant at the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Sunday. As part of the “Gallop Through History” gala performance, the mini royals will travel in a horse-drawn carriage.
Kate Middleton and Prince William’s three children — Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 — are expected to attend. They will be accompanied by Peter and Autumn Phillips’ two daughters Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10; Zara and Mike Tindall’s three children Mia, 8, Lena, 3, and Lucas, 1; Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s son August, 1; and Princess Beatrice’s 7-month-old baby Sienna with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
It’s unknown if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s two kids, Archie, who turned three last week, and Lili, who is 11 months old, will attend the gathering.
The family of four is set to travel to the United Kingdom from their home in California in June for a weekend of Platinum Jubilee celebrations to commemorate the Queen’s 70 years on the reign, yet they are probably not going to show up in time for Sunday’s ceremony.
Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter, will also appear in the program. In honor of her late grandpa, Prince Philip, who died in April 2021 at the age of 99, the daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex will drive the carriage originally held by Prince Philip. Lady Louise has taken up the Duke of Edinburgh’s enthusiasm for sport, and she competes in it.
Previously, video footage arose of the Queen’s great-grandchildren rehearsing climbing into the carriage at Windsor Castle, most likely in preparation for Sunday’s ceremony.
The 96-year-old monarch’s great-grandkids will almost certainly take part in the festivities on the first weekend of June, although they will not all gather on the Buckingham Palace balcony as is customary for Trooping the Colour. The palace declared last week that instead of the whole extended royal family, only working members of the royal family will appear on the balcony.
The three children of Prince William and Kate are likely to attend, as are the children of Prince Edward and Sophie, Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn.
In addition to the Jubilee weekend celebrations in England, members of the royal family will travel to various parts of the United Kingdom. Prince William and Kate will travel to Wales, where they resided for a couple of years after their wedding more than a decade ago, while Princess Anne will travel to Scotland and Prince Edward and Sophie will travel to Northern Ireland.
