The royal cohort on the palace balcony at Trooping the Colour has also been slimmer since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal roles in 2020 and moved to the U.S.

2008. What a huge family photo! The crowd on the Buckingham Palace balcony back for the 2008 Trooping the Colour is huge compared to the Royal attendance of the ceremonies in the 2020s so far.

A caption alongside the snapshot read: "Lady Sophie Windsor in our Ahana at Trooping the Colour". Royal ties. Prince Michael of Kent is the late Queen Elizabeth II's cousin.
