Skipping another affair? After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle publicly attended the Service of Thanksgiving as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, the twosome were notably absent from her “Platinum Party” concert — though other royal family members were in attendance.
Following a packed schedule of Jubilee activities, Buckingham Palace played host to a star-studded “Platinum Party at the Park” concert on Saturday, June 4. The show — broadcast live for U.K. viewers on the BBC — featured performances by Adam Lambert and the band Queen, Sir Elton John, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ed Sheeran, Diana Ross, Sir Rod Stewart, Alicia Keys, the cast of the West End’s production of Six and more.
“20 years ago I decided I wanted to pick up a guitar because I watched the Golden Jubilee on tv, saw Eric Clapton play Layla and said ‘that’s what I wanna do.’ 10 years later I played ‘The A Team’ at the Diamond Jubilee, and now 10 years on I’m playing the Platinum Jubilee this Sunday,” the “Shivers” musician, 31, captioned a Friday, June 3, Instagram post, teasing his number. “Life is weird how it keeps coming full circle in lovely ways. Tune in on Sunday and see ya there.”
While the musical performers belted out the iconic hits, many of the 96-year-old sovereign’s relatives enthusiastically watched from the crowd. Prince William and Duchess Kate — who attended a Cardiff Castle event in Wales hours earlier — sat in box seats alongside their eldest children: Prince George, 8, and Princess Charlotte, 6. (Their youngest son, Prince Louis, 4, was absent from the musical event.) Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, Prince Edward, Princess Anne, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and more members of The Firm were also spotted.
