I saw the photos of the dimwits on their own page, but I wanna see the REAL royals. I love seeing all the extended family get together for events like this. I've only seen one photo of the whole balcony, and everyone's so tiny. Any one else?

I can't remember the woman in the cream ensemble? Anouska? I see one of the Gloucester daughters (I can never remember which is which), Lady Helen's daughters in front with maybe Cosima Windsor? Lady Amelia is one beautiful young woman.

Someone remind me what this sullen group of slack jaws have done to be up on that balcony, besides being born?

It's much harder to find images of the lesser known royals, but I managed to find a few.. Who is the poor chap in the sailor suit?! I must said Edward looks odd up there without his wife an/or children.

Sophie or her children weren't there today. The paper reported that a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said she had a private engagement.

Edward in full uniform next to Andrew who actually had a military career... oy.
The Do-nots put poor George in another of those awful throwback outfits. Poor, poor kid.
I thought the Gloucester dukedom in terms of precedence is senior to the Kent dukedom, so why are they seated the wrong way in the carriage? Richard should be with Benedikte, not Edward..? Or am I missing something?
That balcony's going to get awfully bare once the queen dies (God save her).

Ok, don't kill me but I think Savannah is a beautiful and happy girl and seems to have a free spirit, but her hair is a mess, probably she likes it long and down (like most of the little girls) but at least for this occasion her mother would have insisted on combing and making it look nice. It's getting a bit "Princess Josephine"esque with it being this long and unbrushed. I also don't know why Edward wears a uniform to Trooping as he doesn't ride with the rest. Andrew doesn't wears a uniform as he was a Naval officer and Trooping the Colour is for soldiers, not navy officers.

Did any foreign Royals attend this year? The old GD Jean of Lux used to attend this event (and rode behind the queen as a member of the Irish Guards) when his grandchildren were still small.

Who is the poor chap in the sailor suit?! The was child on the balcony last year in the same outfit. Can't find a picture in RD that shows the full cohort of royals on the balcony from 2016. Where's Mike-Zara-Mia?

The young woman in cream is Flora Ogilvy (grand-daughter of Princess Alexandra), and I think her mother is to left.
Thank you so much for the photos! Love 'em!

The Duchess is in the right position. I think Richard sat backwards out of kindness. The Duke of Kent looks not that good.
