Queen Elizabeth was ready to rock for her birthday!
Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were all in attendance to celebrate the Queen’s 92nd birthday at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, April 21.
In honor of the special occasion, BBC One and BBC Radio 2 hosted a televised concert with performances by Sting, Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue, Shaggy, Shawn Mendes, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Anne-Marie, Craig David and Donel Mangena.
Prince Harry and his soon-to-be bride arrived to the Queen’s birthday bash all dressed up in matching navy blue ensembles following an appearance at an Invictus Games reception earlier in the day. Meghan looked chic for the evening in a sophisticated cape dress by Stella McCartney paired with a Naeem Khan clutch.
Queen Elizabeth’s husband Prince Philip, who is still recovering from hip replacement surgery, was noticeably absent from the festivities. Kate Middleton was also a no-show at the event as she is just days away from giving birth to her third child.
Proceeds from the musical celebration will benefit The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, a new charity created to motivate and support young people across the commonwealth who have demonstrated leadership in sports, education, health and the environment. Prince Harry took the stage at the concert to announce the launch as President of the organization.
The concert is only the first of Queen Elizabeth’s birthday celebrations this year. The city of London will also celebrate again in June during the annual Trooping of the Colour parade, which traditionally brings all of the royal family together on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Long live the Queen!
