King Charles Makes Major Change to Trooping the Colour Tradition, Signaling the End of an Era
King Charles will be celebrated at Trooping the Colour on June 14—the annual birthday parade for the monarch.
2025 will mark the King's third birthday parade since taking the throne on September 8, 2022.
Amid his ongoing cancer treatment, Charles will no longer ride in the parade on horseback, and will instead ride in a carriage alongside wife Queen Camilla.As he continues treatment for cancer following his 2024 diagnosis, King Charles will make a permanent change for Trooping the Colour, the annual birthday parade held in his honor every June.
The King—who The Times noted is 'one of the royal family's most accomplished equestrians'—will no longer ride on horseback at the yearly event, with the outlet reporting he 'has hung up his riding boots.'
Instead, Charles will travel in a carriage for the procession from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade and back at the event, which this year is on June 14. 'He is not expected to ride at the parade again,' the publication added.
The King rode on horseback in 2023 for his first Trooping the Colour as sovereign; his mother, Queen Elizabeth, hadn't ridden on horseback since 1986, the year she turned 60 years old. Afterwards, the Queen traveled via carriage from 1987 until her last Trooping the Colour in 2022, which also doubled as her Platinum Jubilee celebrating her historic 70 years on the throne.
Following his cancer diagnosis—which was announced publicly on February 5 of last year—the King rode in a carriage; this announcement makes that change permanent, it seems.
Meanwhile, the King's sister Princess Anne—who turns 75 years old in August—plans to ride on horseback this year alongside Prince William. This will be the Princess Royal's first public appearance on horseback since her accident involving a horse last June that left her with a concussion and in the hospital for five days.
The Telegraph reported that Charles' weekly cancer treatment—while it continues in a 'very positive direction, as reflected with the very full national and international diary program,' as the palace put it—will likely last for the remainder of his life. According to the outlet, it is understood that 'he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer,' the publication reported, with The Telegraph adding that Charles and his wife Queen Camilla are likely to never move into Buckingham Palace following the completion of its restoration in 2027.
That said, there's hope that the King isn't going anywhere anytime soon—tentative planning has begun for his 80th birthday celebrations, which will take place in 2028, and there's even talk that Charles might reunite with his son Prince Harry when the Duke of Sussex travels to the U.K. for the 2027 Invictus Games, which will take place in Birmingham, England.

Lars von Trier threw water at Bryce Dallas Howard and insulted her father
Lars von Trier threw a glass of water in Bryce Dallas Howard's face and insulted her father because he wanted to see her "angry face". The 'Jurassic World' actress worked with the director on 2005 film 'Manderlay' and she revealed her first meeting with the moviemaker on the set in Norway came as a bit of a shock as she was subjected to a barrage of insults and a jibe about her director dad Ron Howard. Bryce told The Times newspaper: "He started insulting me: 'Your father's a terrible filmmaker.' I went: 'Lars, what are you trying to see?' and he said: 'Your angry face. I don't know what it looks like'." She went on to reveal von Trier then threw a glass of water in her face and Bryce responded by doing the same to him. The actress added: "So I threw a glass of water in his face. He goes: 'Why did you do that?' and got up and left. That was my introduction to the Lars von Trier experience." However, Bryce is adamant she wasn't upset by the encounter. She explained: "It wasn't like I went to my room and cried or anything. I was sort of delighted by it." Bryce's dad started as an actor before moving behind the camera and she hopes to do more directing in the future, but she will never give up acting completely like he did. She added: "I don't want to let go of acting as my dad has done. That would be really heartbreaking because I learn so much being on a set. I have so much fun.' Bryce is close to her filmmaker father and he recently shared a sweet tribute to her on Instagram to mark her 44th birthday earlier this year - declaring she has far exceeded the family's expectations with her huge success in the movie business. Ron wrote: "Happy Birthday, Daughter! You've always made your mom and me happy and incredibly proud. "But the scope of what you've achieved with your family and career and the future you are building exceeds our wildest hopes from back when you were this adorable kid we loved so much." It came just a day after Bryce shared her own tribute to her dad on his birthday, writing in a post on Instagram: "I love you so much Dad, more than words can say."

Meghan Markle's 'Baby Mama' Dance Compared to Princess Kate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle doing the "Baby Mama" dance was compared by royal fans on TikTok to Princess Kate's regal public appearances. The Duchess of Sussex danced in hospital while heavily pregnant to try to induce Princess Lilibet's birth, while past her due date in 2021. She posted the footage on Instagram last week to mark Lili's fourth birthday and the move triggered a frenzy of both support and criticism. Among the responses, a royal fan posted footage on TikTok comparing Meghan's dance to Princess Kate during a variety of royal events, including the coronation. Meghan Markle does the "Baby Mama" dance while Princess Kate is seen during a carriage procession for Trooping the Colour, London, on June 17, 2023. Meghan Markle does the "Baby Mama" dance while Princess Kate is seen during a carriage procession for Trooping the Colour, London, on June 17, It Matters Meghan's dance sparked strong emotions on both sides with some celebrating the duchess and some criticizing her. One theme among those who opposed the video was that royals should not overshare, like celebrities do. The TikTok video exists within that discourse and was liked 134,000 times and viewed 2.2 million times after being posted with the on screen caption: "Royalty." That caption appears to invite audiences to view Meghan's dance using the conventions of monarchy as a lens. What To Know The post began by showing Meghan doing Starrkeisha's "Baby Mama" dance in the delivery room alongside Prince Harry, who was also dancing. The clip was originally released by Meghan last week to mark Lilibet's birthday on June 4, and she posted it with the message: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates... so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work—there was only one thing left to do!" The TikTok post then cuts to several clips of Kate, first during Trooping the Colour, in June 2023, and then at King Charles III's coronation, in May 2023, followed by a series of other royal engagements. What People Are Saying One fan pointed out the Princess of Wales famously first caught Prince William's eye during a university cat walk show in which she wore a see through dress over a bikini. "Kate did a catwalk show in her bikini at uni trying to impress William let's not forget that," they wrote. Another reply was liked 17,800 times and read: "Meghan and Harry... happier, real, normal..." Not everyone defended Meghan. One comment read: "I just can't stop laughing. Where is Meghan's advisor. This is just bad. Big difference between celebrity and royalty." Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.
