I’m sure many were surprised . Not everyone keeps up with news .

The late Queen stopped riding 36 years ago for the Trooping of the Colours.. This is the first time in 37 years that a monarch has dine so. His Majesty is in his mid 70's. No mean feat to be in the saddle for that long, under those circumstances, at that age. Congratulations King Charles.

​@@dizziechef9502 Hardly news . Been riding sunce he was 4 . And very accomplished horseman

@@ronica4803 I heard that the Queen was told that she’d be required to be on a leading rein and she said no thanks and went by carriage thereafter. Kept riding privately though, including very shortly before her death. Bucket list maybe. I think there were concerns she’d wouldn’t be able to control her mount as well as she did during the incident where someone shot off a starters pistol, or something, and her horse shied with no ill effect.

Still takes guts at the age of 74 to ride out in full view on a new and quite lively young horse, though. I know the Mounties trained her well, as the Guards will have too, but it's hard to mimic a huge noisy crowd with bands playing, glinting armour and hundreds of other horses deploying.

Oh she would

And Proud of Charles ❤

Veronica Leahy what tradition?

⁠​⁠The tradition is the Sovereign riding on horseback. Elizabeth kept up the tradition until 1987 when she was 61. Since then she went by carriage. This year, for his first Trooping the Colour”, Charles rode a horse.

​@@lsmith9249The tradition of Trooping the Colour goes back to the 17th Century & the Times of King Charles II.

Hardly surprising... he's been riding sunce he was 4. Played Polo as a teenager

I was a bit more "surprised" by the wording of the video.... "To Celebrate His First Birthday Parade" kinda makes it sound like he just turned 1 not his first year as king...

Victorian epoch splendor

Just another KZfaq channel that uses silly video titles to draw views.

Well, it got you here, now, didn't it?? lol @@martinroeeidhammer9108

​@JIm Archer Crack up, thanks for the laugh. Love your humor

Are you five years old? Charles Windsor was unfaithful to his first wife from the first day of his marriage. He was unfaithful for years and years. Charles used Diana, without thinking about her feelings.

Amen🙏🙏

Gardener Rasengane our King has achieved what milestone in his reign?

@@lsmith9249 Is in his Kingship that he achieved this Milestone. Thirty years back he rode the Horse as a Prince of Wales, in support of the Late Beloved Queen. Another milestone too.

@@user-mj7fk6gg7s during his time as Prince of Wales our King rode in Trooping the Colour for over 50 years and was regimental colonel of the Welsh Guards for over 50 years but l do not understand what milestone you imagine he has achieved during his REIGN not kingship which is only months old

There were 300!

@@anny1_232 Thanks! I wondered how many. Is that all of them and I wonder if they keep the 2 clydesdales together in the stable

Long live the horses _ and the people riding them.

Now THAT'S a lot of horse-power!

And Charles himself.

That is the saddest part isn't it? He couldn't be King until she had passed and then she couldn't see him shine because she was gone. We forget that they are after all a family. Some people forget because they live such an affluent life, but the rich have proven time and time again that money does absolutely not solve all troubles or remedy all pain.

@@Foxytrot-sx2vd I was just going over the same thoughts and emotions. Her Majesty would be so proud of him.

@@Foxytrot-sx2vd😢you’re so right!

Beautiful‼️Spectacular‼️Breath taking‼️Prince Harry‼️Should Be Moved deeply What He Left‼️What He Ofended‼️Family‼️Tradition‼️Country‼️🇬🇧👑⚜👌

C DeLorenzo Trooping the Colour is over 250 years old, our King has been taking part for over 50 years,, l don't think she would have felt proud, it is just the Monarchy continuing

Our late Queen was proud of her children for their achievements but she never said she was proud of any of them for doing their jobs

Yes. Just a typical family outing. I wonder who's manor house will they drop in on today.

Hello how are you doing hope you're fine and staying safe 🥰🥰🥰

The Queen's horse was Burmese.

Absolutely stunning and memorizing. Something magical about the UK and the Royal Family.❤🇺🇸

@@murielholtquist4438 you are so right, I can't wait every year to watch it, but it was special because the Sovereign was riding.

Yes he is just as our Mounties gave Queen Elizabeth a horse

A beautiful horse, a great tribute to the Mounties and to Canada

Hello how are you doing hope you're fine and staying safe??

Watch 12:37 onwards. The king is at the front with Princess Anne and two other male royals behind him.

​@@adrianjackson2696 William, Duke of Cambridge & Edward, Duke of Edinburgh were the Royals alongside Anne, Princess Royal.

Lol yeah, i missed him too and for some reason i watched the whole thing. They go so many absurd weird unifroms.

@@bazz303 - The uniforms are living history from the past which add to any ceremonial parade/event I think.

@@adrianjackson2696 The videographer totally missed Charles and took for most William, Edward and Anne in the shot! 🤣

Lovely isn't it? While so many citizens live lives of misery. Just a delight to see tradition maintained at the expense of the people.

​@@albertfinney1328They have had a monarchy for over 1,000 years; this country is steeped in history , tradition, and pageantry. It is quite apparent from your nonsensical statement that you are totally ignorant to the fact that the British Monarchy brings in millions of dollars due to tourism. Most people visit this country because of the House of Windsor. I am assigning you to time out because of your crass statement.

@@geraldinetalley3664 "my nonsensical statement." Quite amusing that.

@@albertfinney1328I'm glad you found it amusing, it's about you. Laugh on!

@@geraldinetalley3664 I did. I do feel sorry for those for whom are still TOTALLY in the dark. And know that old saying? He who laughs last. I'll be thinking 'bout cha, sympathetically, mind. For many reality will be HARSH.

Perhaps you should capitalize the G in God as well as King Charles

I couldn’t tell which one was the king sadly I’m an American, so maybe that was the reason why still beautiful to watch though I love English traditions

King Charles did not appear in this video. American or not my friend,, you would have known had you seen him.

​@@happydays3678I certainly saw him. I don't know what video you watched.

Probably worried about his age riding horseback. But he should be okay, as long as horse doesn't spook, or some nutcase doesn't aatack.

🙏🌹👍 Larga vida al Rey Carlos III 🙏🌹🌹

This is a ceremonial day ,which is called the`birthday` .King Charles was born in November ,the late Queen Elizabeth in April ( I believe) but traditionally this event is held in midsummer.

​@@gillcawthorn7572 June was chosen as the official birthday because of the British weather

Hello how are you doing hope you're fine and staying safe!!!!!

Not his real birthday,it’s in November.

The marching like that is why America was able to kick them out of our country. Our fighters were able to "knock " them down using gorilla tactics learned from the native Americans. That and their king at the time was bat💩 crazy Nice bit of theater though.

@@trixieschneider5553 the British subjects in the colonies were able to defeat the British troops partly due to the vast distance between Britain and its American colonies, this posed significant logistical challenges for the British. Maintaining a steady supply of troops, provisions, and ammunition across the Atlantic Ocean was a considerable undertaking, while the American colonies could rely on local resources and support. Also, France saw an opportunity to weaken its longtime rival, Britain, and provided the colonists with financial aid, military supplies, and even troops. btw.. Guerilla: A member of an irregular, usually indigenous military or paramilitary force operating in small bands in occupied territory to harass and undermine the enemy, as by surprise raids. Gorilla: Gorillas are herbivorous, predominantly ground-dwelling great apes that inhabit the tropical forests of equatorial Africa.

So ist es!

King Charles was in the carriage.

He appears on the left side of the screen at 12:31 on the leading horse, wearing a blue sash. Yes, that's him.

@@VMFYT Thank you for that information.Otherwise I would not have been able to figure it out.

@@VMFYT Thank you. He's on the screen 29 seconds, with almost no reaction from the crowd. No wonder the camera didn't even follow him.

He was by himself in front of Princess Anne.

You ain’t the only one

This is what humility looks like?

If he was humble, he would have let William and Catherine be crowned.

Hello how are you doing hope you're fine and staying safe 🥰????

From a 3rd generation american, partly descended from Scotland. YUCK! He should have stepped aside, let William and Catherine be crowned.

PHONIES!!

King Charles III appeared at 12.36 wearing his military uniform. Behind him are his son, Prince William, his brother, Prince Edward & Princess Anne in a Naval uniform. Behind them in the carriage Camilla the Queen Consort dressed in red, Catherine, Princess of Wales dressed in green. Her three children sat opposite.

I did recognize Princess Anne.
