An insider has warned that the Queen making an appearance on Buckingham Palace's balcony to mark the end of her Platinum Jubilee is "by no means guaranteed". The Queen has experienced some health issues in recent months that have restricted her mobility and she tested positive for Covid in February.
She's appeared on the famous balcony overlooking The Mall for every previous Jubilee year of her reign, and it was hoped she would mark 70 years on the throne in the same way - but doubts are now swirling around how practical this might be, The Mirror reports.
"It could still happen but it is by no means guaranteed that we will see the Queen on the balcony during the Jubilee," the source said. Royal aides are now hurriedly devising a "plan B" for the Jubilee celebrations, according to reports. There is now the question of whether the balcony moment should happen at all if the Queen can't be there.
