Trooping the Colour from carriage to be oversee by King Charles

King Charles III will take part in next month’s Trooping the Colour despite his cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

The King is expected to inspect soldiers from a carriage rather than on horseback.

It is unclear whether Catherine, the Princess of Wales, will attend as she continues chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer.

The ceremony, to be held on 15 June, traditionally sees the Royal Family gather on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Last year, the King inspected troops from horseback during the event, which is filled with pomp and military pageantry and held to mark the sovereign’s official birthday.

This time, he will conduct the review seated in an Ascot landau carriage with Queen Camilla.
