I'll believe it when I see it about the part with Harry and Meghan at Trooping.

It's nice to be optimistic but the way this pandemic has gone, anything can happen between now and then.

I very much hope that, by June, everyone will be able to be reunited with their loved ones: I know plenty of people who haven't been able to see family and friends living abroad for over a year now. But, the way things are going, we just don't know ... and we don't even know if it'll be possible for Trooping the Colour to go ahead. Like the rest of us, the Queen can't make plans at the moment :-( .

That’s fantastic ! I really hope that this time a celebration can be held..and if it is, I DO believe Harry and Meghan will be there.

A lot of the vaccine here had to be destroyed, because of very bad planning, and the people are the ones who are paying the prize for it. Here if people in need but are not in the age group are given the vaccine, hospitals are getting big fines, but it seems to be OK, if it has to be disposed off, because it is passed the expiration date. So much bad planning gives me a migraine.

The UK seems to be doig a fine job of its vaccination programme. About 1.5m people have already had the first jab, and 13.5m are expected to get it by mid-February.

I think it is a bit premature to be thinking of TC. This pandemic has created so many set backs plus there are already 2 mutant strains out there.

Also think of the balcony scenel with the Queen. Staying 6 feet apart will only allow for 6-8 members of the royal family best.

The organisers do have to start considering options though, even if it ends up being a slightly bigger version of 2020 with the Queen at Windsor.

This also wasn't officially announced, someone leaked the story to Roya.

I didn't realise that. How peculiar.

If there's going to be a trooping in London I can't see large crowds being encourged in June. Most sources seem to suggest a return to normality by late summer/early autumn. Would love to be proved wrong & everything gets better much sooner.

[Alison H]

I very much hope so, but it seems unlikely. Last summer, we all opened everything up, and people from all over Europe were travelling abroad on holiday, and, at the time, it seemed like the right thing to go - it looked as if the worst was over, and places were desperate to get their economies going again. But, with the benefit of hindsight, maybe it would have been better to hang fire. I think all governments are going to be a lot more cautious this time round.

I would not suggest a Trooping of the Colour till it is safe to do so, but I see the rationale for only the relevant members of the BRF being present on the balcony.

Queen Elizabeth reportedly reached out to Joe Biden before he was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. On Wednesday, The Sunday Times’ royal correspondent Roya Nikkhah tweeted, “The Queen sent a private message to President Biden @JoeBiden earlier today, ahead of his inauguration, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.”
