The royal couple was joined by Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who wore one of Queen Elizabeth’s necklaces in her honor, along with Princess Anne and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The ceremony included the unveiling of statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, commissioned by the Royal Albert Hall to mark its 150th anniversary.
