Prince George Expected to Play Leading Role in Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

As the Queen marks 70 years on the throne, becoming the first British monarch to reach this milestone, she has made an important decision for her Georgian Jubilee year.

The Queen will be celebrating her Platinum Jubilee next year, and Britain will mark the event with a four-day national party in June.

Royal author Nigel Cawthorn expects Prince George, who is third in line to the throne and will one day be King, to take a leading role in the celebrations.

Mr. Cawthorn believes that Her Majesty's grandchildren and great-grandchildren will step up this year, but especially George, who is eight years old, the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

He said, “I think we're going to see Her Majesty's grandchildren really step up this year, and her great-grandchildren, especially George, will be up front and heavily involved in the celebrations.”

The Queen will be experiencing a whole gamut of emotions, everything from grieving her husband and remembering her father, to feeling pride towards all that she and her family have achieved.

She took the throne of a bomb-scarred nation and steered it into a period of political stability.

That is an incredible legacy.

She knows William, Kate, and their children will find a way forward for the Royal Family.

In her jubilee message, the Queen expressed her sincere wish that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, will be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes King.

In her message, the Queen wrote, “I would like to express my thanks to you all for your support.

I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me.

And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me, and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.”

The Queen showered her family with praise and made mention of her four new grandchildren in her Christmas speech, which illustrated her lasting love and appreciation for the departed Prince Philip.

In her festive broadcast, the monarch welcomed the arrival of Lilibet, along with three other great-grandchildren, August, Lucas, and Sienna, who were all born this year.

She made a moving speech about how much she misses the mischievous twinkle and familiar laugh of the Duke of Edinburgh, lamenting her first Christmas without her beloved husband.

The Queen said Christmas is thought of as a time for children, but added this was only half the story.

She said, “Adults, when weighed down with worries, sometimes fail to see the joy in simple things, where children do not.

And for me and my family, even with one familiar laugh missing this year, there will be joy in Christmas, as we have the chance to reminisce, and see anew the wonder of the festive season through the eyes of our young children, of whom we were delighted to welcome four more this year.

They teach us all a lesson, just as the Christmas story does, that in the birth of a child, there is a new dawn with endless potential.”

Prince Philip died in April, aged ninety-nine, leaving the Queen without him by her side for the first Christmas in seventy-three years.

In her deeply personal message, she fondly spoke of his achievements, saying she was proud beyond words of his accolades, saying she was proud.

It is still uncertain whether the Queen's fourth grandson Prince Harry and his family will return from the US for the celebrations.

The Duke of Sussex recently applied for a judicial review of the Home Office who refused permission for him to personally pay for police protection while visiting the UK.

A legal representative for the Prince said he is otherwise unable to return to his home because it is too dangerous.

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations will be a significant event, and the presence of Prince George will make it even more special.
