Why does King Charles’ birthday parade take place in June?

King Charles’ actual birthday is November 14. However, his birthday parade takes place in June – a royal tradition for more than 260 years.

The reason? Well, it’s pretty simple! Trooping the Colour happens in June to take advantage of the better British weather.

Over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together for the parade.

For the 2025 ceremony, King Charles made a last-minute change to pay respects to those who lost their lives in the tragic Air India plane crash this week.

A minute’s silence took place at the Horse Guards Parade. Meanwhile, the king and Prince of Wales wore a black armband on their military uniform.

Coachmen and women from the Royal Mews and mounted officers also wore black armbands.
