The royal family may have to skip next year’s appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour due to major refurbishment works.
They could be prevented from gathering on the famous balcony – where the Duchess of Sussex made her first appearance last month – while it undergoes £369 million works.
The entire East Wing is the first section to undergo a makeover in the refurbishment of the palace, which will take ten years.
To help pay for the £369 million refurbishment of Buckingham Palace, the percentage of the Crown Estate profits paid to the Sovereign Grant increased for the first time from 15 per cent to 25 per cent for the next decade.
It does not include the £30.4 million additionally siphoned off from the Crown Estate profits to help towards the £369 million improvements.
