The King’s official birthday bash is in full swing with the grand Trooping the Colour parade in London. The royal family, including the Queen and other senior members, turned out for the pomp-filled celebration—even though the King’s real birthday isn’t until November. Think red coats, marching bands, and plenty of fanfare.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a fancy parade—it’s a centuries-old tradition that marks the monarch’s official birthday (a quirk of British royal custom). For royal watchers, it’s a spectacle of pageantry and a rare public display of the monarchy’s ceremonial role. Plus, it’s a feel-good moment for supporters of the crown, even as debates about its relevance continue.
