Buckingham Palace has announced scaled-back official birthday celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II this year.
The celebrations for the monarch's 95th birthday are to take place on Saturday, June 12, at Windsor Castle, the palace said.
Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent - who is the Queen's first cousin - is the only royal listed to be attending.
The celebrations are to include a military parade, a musical troop, and a 41-gun royal salute, the palace said in a press release obtained by Insider.
This year is the Queen's first official birthday without her husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died on April 9.
Her Majesty turned 95 on April 21, however she celebrates her birthday officially on the second Saturday of June each year.
The ceremony, known as Trooping the Colour, is usually held at Buckingham Palace and features 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians, and is watched by members of the family on the palace balcony.
Similar to last year's event, the 2021 parade has been scaled back and moved to Windsor Castle to comply with social distancing regulations.
The Queen attended last year's parade without any members of the royal family present.
Prince Edward is related to the Queen through his father, Prince George, who was the younger brother of the Queen's father King George VI.
The duke is also a first cousin to the late Prince Philip, according to his biography on the royal family's official website. Edward's mother was Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark.
