The line-up for the balcony moment after King Charles’ first Trooping the Colour will not include some key names.

King Charles is set to mark his first Trooping the Colour event as monarch in a ceremony full of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare. The ceremony, which marks the King’s birthday, will feature more than 1400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians.

Trooping of the Colour has marked the official birthday of the British Sovereign for over 260 years. While King Charles’ actual birthday is on November 14, monarchs typically have two birthdays, with one marked by Trooping the Colour. The Trooping the Colour parade route leads from Buckingham Palace along The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, and back again.
