The Buckingham Palace privilege Kate and Prince William received from Queen Elizabeth that no-one else has had since

Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales smile at each other on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after attending Trooping the Colour on June 15, 2024 .

There’s one rare Buckingham Palace privilege that the Prince and Princess of Wales are still the last royals to have received.

The Royal Family have several residences that they call home, but Buckingham Palace is perhaps the most iconic. It’s on the balcony of the monarch’s principal London residence that the royals gather for Trooping the Colour and in the gardens where multiple magnificent garden parties are held annually. Whilst King Charles and Queen Camilla don’t live there permanently, it’s steeped in history and they and their family members do spend time there for special events like these. However, one Buckingham Palace privilege hasn’t been enjoyed by anyone for over a decade and Prince William and Kate were the last to receive it.
