The gangβs all here.
King Charles and the rest of the royal family showed a united front on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the VE Day 80th anniversary commemoration on Monday, days after Prince Harry addressed his estrangement from his family in a bombshell interview with the BBC.
The monarch, 76, was joined by wife Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton and their kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as well as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne, Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.
They watched the flypast over Buckingham Palace to celebrate 80 years since World War II ended in Europe. A procession of 23 aircrafts, including the Red Arrows, flew overhead.
The royals all waved to the massive crowd from the balcony. 7-year-old Prince Louis, known for his goofy antics at royal events, jokingly played the drums on the balconyβs edge, according to the Sun.
Beforehand, William, 42, and Middleton, 43, took their three kids to the Queen Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace for the first ceremony honoring the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Louis playfully tugged on his dadβs military jacket as the family of five sat front row. The young royal also made a number of silly faces during the ceremony.
Over the weekend, Harry, 40, lost his appealΒ to regain taxpayer-funded security in the UK. TheΒ legal team behind the decision said it would not be appropriate for Harry βΒ who attended the hearing in England last monthΒ β to have the publicly-paid-for security since shirking his royal duties in 2020.
The Duke of Sussex, who lives in California with wife Meghan Markle and their two children, reacted to the legal outcome in a statement to The Post, where he said that he βattempted to resolve this issue privately, even offering to independently cover the costs of necessary and effective police protection in order to keep me and my family safe.β
Buckingham Palace also shared a rare statement about the situation to the BBC: βAll of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.β
In his interview with the BBC, Harry said he was βdevastatedβ by the courtβs decision. He also revealed that his father βwonβt speak to me because of this security stuff.β
βLife is precious. I donβt know how much longer my father has,β Harry said about Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer last year. The prince added that he βwould love to reconcileβ with his family.
After Harry lost his appeal, a Buckingham Palace rep shared a statement saying that the royal family was focused on celebrating VE Day.
βThey will unite with the rest of the nation and those across the Commonwealth and wider world in celebrating, commemorating and giving thanks to the wartime generation whose selfless devotion, duty and service should stand as an enduring example to us all β and must never be forgotten,β the statement read.
