More info King Charles was visibly moved as he commenced his birthday parade over the weekend. Currently receiving treatment for cancer, the King departed Buckingham Palace by carriage with Queen Camilla. Medical professionals recommended that Charles review the Trooping the Colour from the comfort of the Ascot Landau carriage, rather than on horseback as per the previous year.
Despite the London rain, the 75-year-old monarch greeted onlookers with smiles and waves along The Mall, maintaining high spirits amidst the downpour. Following in a carriage were Princess Kate, 42, and her children , Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Engaged in conversation, Charles and Camilla absorbed the grandeur around them, during which the King made a heartfelt confession to his wife.
Lip reader Nicola Hickling reported that Charles confided to Camilla: "Oh dear, I don't know why I'm feeling rather tearful." Completing the military parade with a salute, the King seemed to compose himself, holding back further emotion, reports the Mirror . Later in the day, he was accompanied by his family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to witness the spectacular RAF flypast, promising to be another.
