King Charles<\/a> took center stage at his first Trooping the Colour<\/a> parade on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The streets were lined with crowds hoping to catch a glance at the royal family, while over 1400 soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians were in attendance to honor the momentous day. The parade moved from Buckingham Palace<\/a> down The Mall to Horse Guard’s Parade, with the royals navigating the streets on horseback and in carriages.<\/p>\n

What is Trooping the Colour?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual celebration has marked the official birthday of the British Sovereign for over 260 years. (While King Charles’ birthday is actually November 14, Trooping the Colour traditionally takes place each June to embrace the sunny June weather.) It originally took its name from traditional preparations for battle, but in the modern day, the pomp and circumstance is a grand celebration of the royal family and “a great display<\/a> of military precision, horsemanship, and fanfare,” per the official site for the royal family. The entire display concludes with a massive Royal Air Force fly-past, while the royal family watches from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n

Who was in attendance<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the honoree of the celebration, King Charles, 74, held center court throughout the day. Riding through the streets on horseback, he was joined by his son Prince William<\/a>, his brother Prince Edward<\/a>, and his sister Princess Anne as they trotted through the streets of London in royal garb.<\/p>\n
