While royal fans certainly have their fingers crossed to see more of her in the coming months, they are also turned towards King Charles who is also receiving outpatient treatment for cancer.
The monarch returned to public-facing duties in April, but Buckingham Palace previously announced the 75-year-old would participate in the festivities in a different way this year, in consideration of his cancer treatment.
While Princess William, Princess Royal Anne and Prince Edward rode horseback, King Charles rode towards the back of the guard procession in the Scottish State Coach alongside his wife, Queen Camilla.
More than 1250 soldiers and hundreds of horses and musicians united for Trooping the Colour to continue the tradition of celebrating a monarch’s birthday since 1748. The event is usually held in June, regardless of when the reigning monarch’s birthday might be (in hopes of parade-friendly weather).
All in all, it seemed to go off without a hitch considering Prince Louis displayed his usual cheeky antics while watching the parade alongside his family and the royals still made their annual balcony appearance to watch the Red Arrows flypast.
