- This year’s programme highlights recognition for frontline workers, volunteers, charitable contributors and emergency services, with a special focus at the first event.
- Two themed gatherings are planned, including a King’s Trust 50th anniversary party in May and The Not Forgotten Association Annual Garden Party in the palace gardens on May 19.
- The palace has not named which royals will attend or host specific events, and participation will be announced on the day for each party.
- Unconfirmed media reports say Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie may be absent from some high‑profile fixtures this year and suggest the King is assigning more public duties to senior working royals.
