Princess Charlotte will appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony just days after celebrating her 10th birthday on May 2, according to new claims.

The young royal will join her parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, alongside her brothers, Prince George, 11, and Prince Louis, who will have then turned seven.


The Palace appearance will be part of commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day, according to the Mirror.

The royal children will witness a spectacular flypast featuring current and historic aircraft, including the Red Arrows display team.

The King will be joined by his closest family members for the historic occasion, according to the outlet. The Queen will stand alongside His Majesty on the famous balcony.

The Princess Royal and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, will also be in attendance. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are expected to appear, potentially with their children Lady Louise, 21, and James, Earl of Wessex, 17.

Other working royals, including the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and possibly the Duke of Kent, will likely join the gathering.

GB News has contacted both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace for comment.

The monarch will view a military procession from the Buckingham Palace balcony, the same spot where Winston Churchill appeared in 1945.

A source said: "His Majesty is dedicated to bring his family and the country together in honour of Britain's war dead and recreate the sense of community that came with the celebrations to mark VE Day."

The parade will enter Horse Guards Parade as aircraft perform the flypast overhead. The four-day commemorations will begin on bank holiday Monday, May 5.

Events will start with the Cenotaph being dressed in Union flags. A music and entertainment concert will be held at Horse Guards Parade in London.

Thousands across the country will join in street parties during the bank holiday weekend.

Sir Keir Starmer previously said the anniversary will offer a moment for the nation to "do that generation proud".

The celebrations will provide "a fantastic opportunity for the country to unite for such a special occasion," according to a Palace source.

St Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square will be illuminated with V-shaped beams of light each evening.

These special illuminations will recreate what happened back in 1945 during the original VE Day celebrations.

The lighting displays form part of the nationwide commemorations marking eight decades since victory was declared in Europe.

The visual tributes will provide a striking reminder of the historic moment when Britain celebrated the end of the Second World War in Europe.
