King Charles is set to ride in a carriage for the upcoming Trooping the Colour next month, as opposed to the traditional horseback, due to his cancer treatment, reports suggest. Despite battling cancer, the 75 year old monarch is resolute about participating in the official birthday festivities on June 15.
There was talk of King Charles possibly observing the ceremony from a podium at one point. A source from the Palace disclosed to The Times that "forthcoming engagements will be adapted where necessary." It's anticipated that the King will now make his appearance in a carriage rather than on horseback, which is the usual practice for reigning monarchs.
Last year's Trooping the Colour on June 17, marking the first under Charles III's era, was a significant occasion with numerous key senior royals accompanying him. As the King rode horseback alongside the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, all clad in their military attire, throngs of spectators filled the Mall.
Observers noted that the ceremony seemed to reflect King Charles's promise of a 'slimmed-down' monarchy. Notably absent were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who not only missed the balcony appearance but didn't attend any part of the ceremony.
