Queen Elizabeth celebrates 92nd birthday
Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 92nd birthday at Trooping the Colour.
2:34
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, did not take part today, in line with his retirement from public life last year. His absence had nothing to do with his recent hip surgery.
Prince Phillip, who was recently at Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding at St. George's Chapel, is instead spending the weekend privately. He will celebrate his 97th birthday Sunday.

Tens of thousands of Royal fans flocked to Buckingham Palace and the Mall to catch a glimpse of the pomp and pageantry surrounding the celebration for Queen Elizabeth. More than 1,000 soldiers and 250 horses traveled down the Mall from Buckingham Palace to Horseguards Parade with members of the Royal Family in carriages.
The ceremony culminates with a magnificent balcony appearance by the Royal Family.

Princess Kate, who has been on maternity leave since giving birth to Prince Louis, left the newborn home. Princess Charlotte made her first appearance at 13 months and George shortly before his 2nd birthday. The next time the public is likely to see Prince Louis will be at his christening later this summer.
Meghan, the new Duchess of Sussex, who has been welcomed into the Royal Family with open arms, has a busy week of appearances ahead. She is due to join Queen Elizabeth in Cheshire for her first solo appearance alongside the Queen on Thursday.

The couple postponed their honeymoon by several days to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace in honor of Prince Charles three days after their spectacular wedding last month. Meghan has become particularly close to her father-in-law, who walked her down the aisle and was instrumental in helping Meghan and Harry with wedding planning.

Kensington Palace is also expected to shortly announce Meghan's first charitable patronage since becoming the fourth member of the Royal Foundation behind by Prince William, Princess Kate, and Prince Harry. While the Palace hasn’t given any indication how Meghan will focus her charitable work, given her previous interest in women’s empowerment, she may select a charity that benefits from her experience in this arena.

Queen Elizabeth recently named Harry as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador and the couple has a busy few months ahead. Meghan and Harry have stated their desire to jump right in and get to work in their new roles.
“Both of us have passions for wanting to make change, change for good, and, you know, with lots of young people running around the commonwealth, that's where we’ll spend most of our time hopefully,\" Harry said shortly after the couple's engagement was announced in November.
Harry and Meghan's first major tour as husband and wife will be in October as part of Harry’s Commonwealth Youth Ambassador role. They are expected to travel to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.
In Australia, Meghan and Harry will visit Sydney for the 2018 Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style sporting event Harry founded for service men and women.
