Millions of people watched King Charles III take his first salute on horseback in the first Trooping the Colour of his reign, which marked the British sovereign's official birthday. It was a sight not seen for nearly 40 years. MORE: 9News
The traditional military spectacle on Saturday is a parade like no other with all the pomp and pageantry expected of royal occasions, and draws massive crowds to central London. Charles' actual birthday is in November and is typically celebrated privately.
Kate appeared to nod to her ceremonial role as Colonel of the Irish Guard through her choice of outfit, a resplendent green ensemble. Meanwhile Queen Camilla was dressed in honour of the Grenadier Guards, the regiment she was named colonel of in January, according to the palace. The queen consort completed the look with a hat by London milliner Philip Treacy "which is a nod to the bearskin with a 'Grenade' exploding up to a feather plume".
"The coronation was very serious … there was a lot of medieval pageantry. This is much more military focused. This is so much more about connecting King Charles with his own history in the Marines, the RAF - he has a strong connection to the military," she said.
