Trooping the Colour is one of the highlights of the royal calendar - and the high point of the day for many fans is when members of the family take to the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the RAF flypast. Every year, thousands of well-wishers gather around the Palace hoping to catch a glimpse of the world's most famous family. But in recent times, the balcony has become increasingly sparse, as thenumber of royals invited to take to the iconic spot keeps getting whittled down. Comparing a picture of the balcony's full line-up in 2019 to photographs from last week's ceremony highlights a stark reduction in the number on royals, with 44 crammed into the space five years ago, compared to just 15 last week (and 14 in 2023). According to the Mail's Diary Editor Richard Eden, t his is because King Charles 'chose to stick with the post-pandemic policy of his late mother and allow only "working royals" on the balcony'.
