"We're going to have to create new windows, build new balconies."
In the past, staff working at the palace would stand in the windows with the royal family, but that's no longer possible.
"There's no room," Prince Albert said. "Actually, it's a great feeling to have that many new members of the family and everybody seems to get along well."
National Day was first held in 1857 by Prince Charles III.
