King Charles III has been busy making changes within the royal family in the little more than three months since he ascended to the throne.
The date for the King’s birthday celebration, known as the Trooping the Colours, and the announcement that Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles would get new titles came from the palace on Wednesday.
The position of honorary Colonel of the Irish Guard, which had previously been held by her husband, was officially given to Charles’ daughter-in-law.
The Prince of Wales was appropriately chosen as Colonel of the Welsh Guards in light of Middleton’s new position. The disgraced Prince Andrew formerly held the office of Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, which King Charles also confirmed the Queen Consort will fill.
The annual Trooping of the Colours will now be held on June 17, 2023, despite the fact that Charles’ 75th birthday is really in November. This announcement was made as part of the adjustments. By choosing to organize the parade months before his actual naming day due to better weather, the King appears to have followed the example set by his late mother.
According to Buckingham Palace, the procession, which also honors the armed forces, will feature more than 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians. In reality, several royals will march in the procession while mounted, to the delight of thousands of spectators.
Only six weeks will pass between the big day and Charles’ coronation, which may result in another family gathering.
Despite their fractured relationship, the queen intends to invite Prince Harry and his bride, Meghan Markle, to the occasion, according to the Daily Mail.
The insider claimed, “His Majesty will always love Harry because he is his son.” “The door will always be left ajar, even though things are rough right now.”
