The royal family is still in mourning for the queen's consort, who was buried last Saturday, April 17. Only the closest relatives are expected to gather at Windsor Palace, where the queen has lived since the beginning of the pandemic, surrounded by a small number of servants.

This year will break the long tradition according to which Buckingham Palace publishes an official photo of the monarch on its birthday.

Last year, due to a lockdown and the impossibility of allowing a photographer to visit the Queen, one of Elizabeth II's childhood photographs was published.

Now it has been decided not to do even this as a token of memory of Prince Philip. The center of attention for the royal family in terms of celebrations this year was to be his 100th birthday, which he did not live to see just two months. A number of events were planned.

On Twitter, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson congratulated Elizabeth II and said he had always admired her and her ministry.

A year without celebrations

The oldest acting monarch in history, Elizabeth II became back in 2015, when she celebrated 89 years.

By tradition, the official birthday of the monarch in Great Britain is celebrated on the second Saturday of June. The central ceremony of the day is Trooping the Color Parade: a ceremonial raising of the guard with the removal of the banner of the Guards regiment, which carries out guard duty at Buckingham Palace.

The tradition of summer celebrations began with King George II in 1748. He was born in November and bad British weather often interfered with the celebration.

This year, Trooping the Color Parade will be canceled for the second time in a row. The possibility of holding a small parade on the grounds of Windsor Castle is being considered.

This week the youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Louis, will also celebrate his birthday, he will be three years old.

And on April 29, the Cambridge couple will celebrate the tenth anniversary of their married life.
