The monarch, who is undergoing cancer treatment, left Buckingham Palace for the event in a carriage alongside Queen Camilla. It was a marked difference from last year, when Charles actually took part in the parade riding a black horse called Noble.
Charles, who only recently returned to public-facing duties, is set to conduct the Trooping the Colour review from the Ascot Landau carriage. There are five Ascot Landau carriages, which are used every year for the monarch's procession during the Royal Meeting at Ascot, kept by the Royal Mews. It has been a busy time for the King, who earlier in the week appeared at the King's Foundation inaugural awards ceremony alongside celebrities, including Sir Rod Stewart and David Beckham. He also conducted a ceremony at Windsor Castle on Monday where he paid tribute to the "professionalism, courage and humour" of the Irish Guards ahead of the regiment's central role in Trooping the Colour today.
A palace source said last week: "While His Majesty's doctors are very encouraged with the progress made so far, the King is continuing with his treatment programme - and thus we have to prioritise and protect his continued recovery. On that basis, each event/day has to be carefully calibrated - and given the King's other commitments on the day, it was advised that the international event later in the afternoon may be a step too far at this stage.
