Suffering from cancer, Charles III should attend Trooping the Color in a carriage, not on horseback as is customary. Doctors have recommended to the sovereign to ban from his agenda - at least for the moment - events involving too large gatherings.
Trooping The Color is nevertheless a special date for the latter, he could go there under several conditions. A decision which has not yet been officially confirmed and which will depend on a final medical opinion a few days before the ceremony. The last birthday of Charles III brought together 1,400 soldiers, 200 horse guards and some 400 musicians.
