Knighthoods and MBEs will be given out in person at the first major investiture ceremony since the start of the Covid pandemic, it has today been announced. But the event, in which Prince Charles will hand out the honours, will not take place at Buckingham Palace. Instead, the event, due to take place on June 23, will be staged a short distance away at St James's Palace. Buckingham Palace - the Queen's official London residence - is normally the venue for many of the ceremonies. A live concert will be staged at Buckingham Palace - Platinum Party at the Palace - during the Saturday of the long weekend.
