Royal historian, Gareth Russell, explained why the 2024 Trooping the Colour will be different this year due to King Charles III’s cancer battle
The 2024 Trooping the Colour is looking a little different this year due to King Charles III’s ongoing cancer battle.
The Trooping the Colour is an annual event celebrating the monarch’s birthday with a grand military parade. The royal family also gathers on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the Royal Air Force fly-over. This year’s event is scheduled to take place on June 15. However, small changes are being made to accommodate Charles, 75, amid his treatment for an unspecified type of cancer. Last year for his first Trooping as monarch, Charles revived the old practice of riding horseback alongside the military during the parade from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards. For this year’s spectacle, Charles will have to ride in a carriage, following suit of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
In addition to Charles being front and center at the event, some members of the royal family also have specific duties to carry out. Last year, Charles appointed several of his family members to ceremonial military roles, including wife Queen Camilla, son Prince William and daughter-in-law Princess Kate Middleton.Last month, the palace confirmed Kate, 42, would not be attending the Trooping the Colour rehearsal this year amid her ongoing cancer battle.
