The Platinum Jubilee celebration kicks off on their third day on Saturday, and while many people will enjoy street parties, this is what the royals will do:
The queen will no longer attend Derby Day at the Epsom Down Racecourse in Surrey, but Princess Royal is expected to be at the event at 5.30pm.

She will likely watch the racing event on TV at Windsor Castle.
It is not yet clear if the monarch will attend the Platinum Party At The Palace on Saturday night, but this is expected to be confirmed during the day.
That Earl and Countess of Wessex will attend a large anniversary lunch at The Long Walk in Windsor. They will meet residents and groups of street performers.
Over the weekend, the couple also travels to Northern Ireland to meet children attending multicultural street performances, attend arts and crafts sessions and hear people share their memories of meeting the Queen.
That Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be in Cardiff. They will meet the crew behind an anniversary concert to be held at Cardiff Castle and learn about the light, sound and visual effects of the show.
