What is the Platinum Jubilee? On February 6, Queen Elizabeth became the first British monarch to be in power for seven decades. This is particularly remarkable because the queen is famously very young. As we all know, the royals have a habit of excessive celebrations and bizarre traditions. Obviously, they’re going to go HAM for the queen’s 70th anniversary.
How will the royals be celebrating the Platinum Jubliee? A handful of those 7,000 events are part of Queen Elizabeth’s official celebration. On Thursday, the Platinum Jubilee kicked off with Trooping the Colour, a big parade that featured lots of military pageantry and appearances by members of the royal family including Prince William, Kate Middleton, and the queen herself. The event culminated in the royals waving from the balcony of Buckingham Palace and watching a military flyby.
Saturday’s events include the derby at Epsom Downs — the queen loves herself some horses — and a Platinum Party at the palace. That party will include performances and appearances by the band Queen, Adam Lambert, Andrew Lloyd Webber, George Ezra, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Alicia Keys, Elton John, Diana Ross, and a band called Elbow.
