The couple will view the Horse Guards Parade on Thursday from the Major General's Office, which overlooks the parade grounds, along with other grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth who are not taking part in the carriage procession or balcony appearance, like Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex "look forward" to watching the annual Trooping parade "from the Major General's Office tomorrow," a spokesperson for the couple told PEOPLE. While traditionally the Buckingham Palace balcony is filled with extended members of the royals family to watch a flypast during Trooping the Colour, Queen Elizabeth announced last month that only working royals and some of their children will gather on the balcony this year.
