King Charles, Prince William wore black armbands at Trooping the Colour in tribute to Air India crash victims, palace confirms
King Charles and Prince William have paid tribute to the victims of the Air India plane crash tragedy by wearing black armbands during Britain's annual Trooping the Colour parade. King Charles and Queen Camilla were joined by other members of the royal family on Saturday for the high-profile ceremonial event in London, which marks the King's official birthday. Senior working royals including Prince William, Princess Anne and Prince Edward could each be seen wearing a black armband as they rode horseback during the procession. The royal family confirmed via its official social media channels that the armbands were worn as a "mark of respect" to the victims of the plane crash in the Indian city of Ahmedabad last week. "At the request of His Majesty, members of the royal family taking part in the parade wore black armbands as a mark of respect following the Air India tragedy in Ahmedabad this week," a post read on X. In a separate statement, a palace spokesperson also confirmed the King "requested amendments to the Trooping the Colour programme as a mark of respect for the lives lost, the families in mourning and all the communities affected by this awful tragedy". The crash of Air India Flight 171 has been described as one of history's worst aviation disasters, which killed 241 passengers and crew as well as dozens of other people on the ground. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which was bound for London's Gatwick Airport, crashed into a building in Ahmedabad just moments after take-off. British-Indian national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh was the sole survivor. More than 1,000 soldiers and 200 horses participated in the Trooping the Colour procession, which moves from Buckingham Palace and down The Mall to Horse Guard's Parade. Princess Catherine stunned in a teal outfit as she rode in a carriage with her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who smiled and waved to the crowd during the event. The royal family then greeted fans on the Buckingham Palace balcony as a flypast from the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, marked the end of the parade. King Charles broke royal tradition for the second year in a row by not riding by horseback during Trooping the Colour as he continues to battle an undisclosed form of cancer. Charles instead travelled in a carriage alongside Queen Camilla, the same as he did in 2024 when he was first diagnosed with cancer. The parade comes amid reports the King's cancer is successfully being managed but is ultimately incurable, according to a place insider.
