What is Trooping the Colour? | The King's Birthday Tradition Explained
Every year, on a Saturday in June, the Monarch of the United Kingdom celebrates their official birthday with a big military parade, a 41-gun salute, and an RAF flypast by the Red Arrows over Buckingham Palace.
But why does the British Sovereign always celebrate their birthday in June?
How old is the ceremony of Trooping the Colour, and why did it begin in the first place?
We take a deep dive into the loudest, most colourful annual tradition in the Royal calendar.

@@elaifa-pt6nc Stop using another historical figure who was a consort turned monarch who OVERTHREW her own husband and whose legacy earned her that title on another woman with the same name who is only a consort and has not earned that title and will NEVER overthrow her husband when he is King. It is ridiculous, and The Princess of Wales has her own legacy. Currently she ranks beneath our Queen who is Camilla but will one day hold that title when HER HUSBAND is King. These kinds of titles normally go to monarchs, not their consorts because the consort is a supporting role, not a leading one, FFS. That is why Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, Queen Mary, and Queen Alexandra, among their other predecessors, do not carry titles like that. They were consorts, NOT monarchs like Catherine The Great, Empress of Russia.

We all are waiting to see the Princess of Wales, her first little step back. But don t forget After chemo, the body's defences are low, so it is advisable not to meet many people where she could become infected. That's why she needs time to come back, the body first has to become resistant again

Your rich history is amazing to watch. I only don’t like how hot the material is on the guards till the point of passing out, it’s abuse on them. Also the abuse the guards have to take guarding the palace. Please King Charles change this.

when pre-existing songs were adopted long ago into the ceremony were they old tunes even then? or were they catchy pop songs at the time and become traditional over time? might we one day see a beatles song added to the tradition? or lady gaga? 🙂 i wonder if horses get a thrill when they get to march in a mass of other horses...or do they not care one way or the other... i suppose in all these years no one's ever failed inspection... that would be so awkward
