The British royal family marked King Charles’ 76th birthday in style at Trooping the Colour, a traditional ceremony held every June to celebrate the official birthday of the sovereign. The event was attended by over 1,400 soldiers, horses, and musicians on Horse Guards Parade in London.
Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, stunned in a sky blue coat dress designed by Catherine Walker, while her husband Prince William, 42, rode in on horseback. Their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, joined the royal family at the parade alongside their parents.
King Charles and Queen Camilla also participated in the ceremony, riding together in a horse-drawn carriage. The event was notable for missing several prominent members of the royal family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The couple, who have been involved in a long-standing feud with the royal family, did not attend the ceremony for the third consecutive year. Their decision to step away from their royal duties and relocate to Montecito, California, two years ago has contributed to the ongoing rift.
According to palace insider Richard Eden, the absence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is significant, as officials had previously hoped they would still be invited to attend events like Trooping the Colour. The fact that they have been excluded this year underscores the depth of their disconnection from the royal family.
