‘It’s a very, very sad day’: the Queen, Buckingham Palace, Prince Philip and Prince George arrive for their official welcome back to the UK from St George’s Day in London
Strictly speaking this isn’t a formal ceremony – it’s just a meeting of royal families to celebrate the 50 years since Diana was shot dead while walking her dog by a gunman who also went on to kill her British consul and British ambassador.
It’s a relatively light affair. Prince George and the Duchess of Cornwall, the daughter of Prince Charles and the queen, make it to Kensington Palace in just under five minutes. The prince is expected to arrive a bit later, around six.
The ceremony starts at the Windsor Castle reception area with a parade of the royal family through the streets of the historic city.
The Queen’s husapronxband, Prince Charles, turns back to St Andrews from Windsor Castle to pay his respects to the dead. The prince has now been in France a week since his sister died.
The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Cambridge are on hand as well. They arrived in London about 4pm.
Prince Charles had planned to make a short visit to Bournemouth as well, in the morning, before going to the Scottish capital on a trip for St George’s Day celebrations. The Duke, as he is known in the UK, is thought to have decided against attending the official state banquet that will be held in Aberdeen.
At the beginning of the meeting, Buckingham Palace was decked out in blue, white and purple and there were banners reading ‘Welcome back to the UK’ and ‘Royal visit: pomp; ceremony and hip hop to greet duke and duchess and the first lady at Kensington Palace in London’; meeting royals: the Queen, Buckingham Palace, Prince Philip, Prince Harry, the Queen’s son George V and Prince George; music, dancing and entertainment to mark 50 years since Diana, Princess of Wales, died.
