The day before, the 96-year-old Queen of Great Britain was supposed to return home from the castle in Balmoral, where she spent five nights on the eve of the celebration of the Platinum Jubilee – that is, the 70th anniversary – of her reign. Aides collected Her Majesty from the Scottish estate of Craigowen Lodge and took her to Aberdeen Airport, from where she flew on a 13-seat jet to London.
However, the traditional English bad weather prevented Elizabeth from safely getting to the Royal Air Force Airport Northolt. Due to a sudden oncoming thunderstorm, hail and wind, the plane had to make a circle, and then circle over the landing area for another 15 minutes. Fortunately, the weather cleared up and on the second attempt, Her Majesty managed to land safely. Buckingham Palace confirmed that the landing was aborted due to lightning, but nothing threatened the monarch.
In such circumstances, you risk nothing, and it was right to abort the landing during lightning strikes, – said an insider to The Sun.
After the flight, the Queen was spotted in a dark green Range Rover on her way to Windsor Palace with her beloved corgi in the back seat. Recall that the four-day celebrations dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Queen’s reign will begin tomorrow. Fans of the royal family are already pitching tents at the main venues of the festivities to see everything with their own eyes from the closest distance.
On the same day, the Trooping the Color parade will take place, and members of the royal family will traditionally appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to greet their subjects. However, this year we will definitely not see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the balcony, who were excluded from the list, as they are no longer current members of the royal family. However, like Prince Andrew, who was recently involved in a sex scandal.
Elizabeth is expected to meet her great-granddaughter Lilibet for the first time. On Saturday, the daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle turns one year old, and the Sussex couple plans to fly to London to congratulate Her Majesty. Whether Meghan and Harry will stay in the UK is unknown, but apparently they are still going to stay and return to their old residence, Frogmore House, which cost them an immodest £2.4 million to renovate. In February of this year, Harry extended Frogmore’s lease and paid all bills.
