Speaking on Channel 5 's Secrets of the Royal Palaces, Wesley Kerr said that Elizabeth II wanted to be there for her supporters as she stepped out on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
The late Queen's final Buckingham Palace balcony appearance demonstrated the monarch's commitment to duty above all else, royal experts have said - and showed a sweet insight into her relationship with her son.
After joining her family on the balcony to witness a spectacular RAF fly-past on Thursday June 2, she was unable to attend a thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral the following day after suffering discomfort. 'The crowd didn't know any of this,' royal writer Emily Andrews said. 'They didn't know she was ill, they didn't know she was suffering in pain and they didn't understand why the Queen wasn't there.'
Pictured: The late Queen Elizabeth enjoying her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, 2022 - the year she passed away 'The pinnacle of the Platinum Jubilee was seeing the Queen on that balcony and you could see the emotion written all over her face.'She felt it was her duty to come to London, to acknowledge the crowds,' Emily added.
She later issued a moving letter to the nation in which she declared: 'My heart has been with you all.' Aides are already exploring ways that Charles might be able to take part within the constraints of his ongoing cancer treatment. Pictures of an obviously delighted Queen walking gingerly out onto the balcony before waving to the jubilant crowd are among Platinum Jubilee's most iconic images
