Queen Elizabeth II is actually the focus of the celebrations for her 70th jubilee. But in bright sunshine, her great-grandchildren almost stole the show from the queen. At first, tens of thousands along London’s boulevard The Mall followed with excitement, such as Prince George (8), Princess Charlotte (7) and Prince Louis (4) – the children of Queen’s grandson Prince William and Duchess Kate – in an open carriage from the palace to the parade ground Horse Guards Parade. Heads bowed in humility, the children took a salute on the way back.
The Queen took it with humor
Finally, Prince Louis, in his sailor suit on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, was the center of attention: standing diagonally in front of his famous great-grandmother, the four-year-old grimaced. When dozens of fighter jets and helicopters of the Royal Air Force paid tribute to their commander-in-chief in noisy formation flight over Buckingham Palace, the fifth heir to the throne covered his ears and opened his mouth wide. The Queen took it with humor: smiling, she leaned down to Louis and chatted with him briefly.
