The royal couple greeted thousands of well-wishers as they made their way into Buckingham Palace for their annual inspection of guardsmen standing outside St James’s Palace—a tradition that dates back centuries but started in 1952 when George VI began inspecting troops from one balcony while Queen Elizabeth II watched from another across the road.” I’m very proud,” an emotional Philip said after inspecting the guardsmen during this year’s ceremony held at Buckingham Palace Wednesday morning. “They’re wonderful men who do a great job every day.”
