Princess Anne’s husband was granted a special privilege by Queen Elizabeth after she made a major family change in 2022.
If the late Queen Elizabeth’s 70th year on the throne hadn’t already been busy enough, she chose to implement a major family change over her Platinum Jubilee weekend that set a remarkable new precedent. Ahead of Queen Elizabeth’s jubilee celebrations it was confirmed by the Palace that only working members of the Royal Family would be joining her on the balcony at Trooping the Colour in 2022. This captured the attention of fans around the world as previously she had opened up the balcony to the full extended Royal Family, including her cousins and their children, whether they undertook official duties or not.
