The royal family celebrated King Charles' official birthday in style with a grand procession through London during Trooping the Colour on June 15. Soldiers, horses, and musicians showcased military precision in a tradition dating back to 1748. Princess Kate made her first public appearance of the year, smiling alongside her children Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte as they rode in golden carriages to Horse Guards Parade. Despite heavy rain, thousands turned out to catch a glimpse of the beloved royals. King Charles III, currently undergoing cancer treatment, inspected troops from a gold carriage instead of on horseback. The event culminated in Catherine and the King waving from Buckingham Palace balcony, ending a day filled with pomp, pageantry, and enthusiastic cheers from the gathered crowd.
