A small number of Welsh Guardsmen and military musicians took part in the ceremony, replacing the traditional Trooping the Colour.
Meanwhile, the news of the 2021 Trooping the Colour being cancelled comes amid a turbulent time for the Royal Family.
Earlier this month, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all interview.
The couple made several bombshell claims about their time as senior royals.
One included Meghan alleging that there were ‘concerns’ within the family about how dark their son Archie’s skin would be.
Oprah later confirmed Harry had told her it wasn’t the Queen nor Prince Philip who allegedly made the comment.
Meanwhile, Harry also opened up in the interview.
He claimed he was “cut off” financially by the Royal Family after he and Meghan stepped back from royal life.
Queen ‘standing by the couple’
Recent reports have claimed that the Queen is “sad not angry” by the fallout but will stand by the couple.
