LONDON — It’s King Charles III’s official birthday, but all eyes will be on Kate, the Princess of Wales. Kate, 42, is making her return to the public eye Saturday after sharing an update on her cancer treatment. She announced Friday that she would attend the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London for her first official public appearance since she revealed the diagnosis earlier this year.
The event in central London will see Charles carry out the review of the guardsmen and officers from a carriage alongside Queen Camilla, rather than on horseback as he did last year. By inspecting the troops on horseback at his first official birthday parade, Charles revived a tradition that his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, gave up in 1986 when she was 60. William will be on horseback this year. Also known as the King’s Birthday Parade, the ceremony has been an annual event since 1760.
