King Charles on horseback for Trooping The Colour parade. King Charles has saddled up to become the first monarch in more than 30 years to take part in Trooping The Colour as his official birthday parade begins. The King rode onto Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall as the nation’s head of state. He was joined on horseback by the royal colonels, including the the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh, riding for the first time in his role as Colonel of the 1st Battalion London Guards, formed last year. Travelling in a carriage were the Queen, the Princess of Wales, along with Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, eight, and five-year-old Prince Louis. Today is the first time a reigning monarch has ridden on horseback at Trooping the Colour since Queen Elizabeth’s horse Burmese carried her during the 1986 ceremony.
