The service — which came after Us Weekly confirmed on Thursday, June 2, that the queen, 96, would skip the event after experiencing discomfort at Trooping the Colour — was not open to the public and included Bible readings, anthems and prayers in celebration of Her Majesty’s 70 years of service.

Kate, 40, looked vibrant in a soft yellow dress by Emilia Wickstead — a go-to designer for the British royal. The bodice featured a crisscross design and was paired with a Philip Treaty cap and nude pumps. The queen borrowed the earrings from the Duchess of Cambridge, and she further accessorized with Bahrain Pear Drop earrings. William, 39, looked elegant in a dark suit with a plaid tie.
For Trooping the Colour, the Sussexes’ presence was more low-key as they watched the festivities from the Major General’s Office in Buckingham Palace while the queen, Kate, William and other royal family members looked on from the balcony. Due to their 2020 decision to resign as senior royals, they weren’t allowed on the balcony.
Nonetheless, the couple felt “excited” and “honoured” to be back in the U.K. to honor the queen, a spokesperson for the pair said on May 4. Though not pictured, Meghan and Harry made the trek from California — where they moved following their royal exit — with their two young children: Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 11 months. This will be the first trip that the little girl has made across the pond.
The queen’s Platinum Jubilee will continue through Sunday, June 5. “The bank holiday will provide an opportunity for communities and people throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate the historic milestone,” the palace said in a statement on January 10.
