Buckingham Palace Delays Confirmation of King Charles Trooping the Colour Plans Amidst Warning
Buckingham Palace has made a surprising announcement regarding King Charles III’s first overseas trip since his cancer diagnosis, but remains hesitant to confirm the monarch’s plans for the upcoming Trooping the Colour ceremony.
While the Palace has provided assurances that forthcoming engagements will be adjusted to accommodate the King’s recovery, specific details about his participation in the annual royal event are still pending.
King Charles, aged 75, who made history as the first monarch to appear on horseback for Trooping the Colour last June, is expected to break tradition this year by traveling via carriage during the summer parade.
However, the King’s office appears cautious about disclosing his intentions for the event.
A source informed The Times that while the King is likely to participate in Trooping the Colour via carriage, a final decision has not been reached.
Concerns about the King’s health, particularly amid his ongoing battle with cancer, have prompted Palace officials to proceed with caution.
An incident involving a fidgeting horse during last year’s event has reportedly reinforced the Palace’s reluctance to encourage the King to appear on horseback again this year.
Despite uncertainties surrounding King Charles’ participation, Buckingham Palace has confirmed his attendance at a commemorative event marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings at the British Normandy Memorial in northern France on June 6th.

As preparations continue, Buckingham Palace remains cautious about confirming the King’s involvement in future events, prioritizing his health and well-being above all else.
