In addition to ambassadors, high commissioners and their partners, around 600 foreign diplomats based in London were among the guests together with around 300 British diplomats and senior figures from commerce, education, broadcasting and the arts. Like the past few years, there was a rota photographer who took pictures from inside the event, a shock even after a surprise portrait five years ago, the images from 2018, and those from 2019.

What a great surprise! I was waiting for this to be announced all over the place, but could not find any information about it until I saw your post 🙂 It was a great relief to see that it is kept as a white-tie event and that is hopefully how it will stay for years and years to come. All four of them looked fantastic. The only downside (for me at least) was that none of the other working members of the Royal Family was there (though I see from past years that it is not an event at which all the family is gathered).
