The annual military parade celebrating the King’s birthday will occur on Saturday, June 15, in London. The King and Queen, along with members of the royal family, will attend this significant event.
However, it remains uncertain whether the Prince of Wales will be accompanied by his and the Princess of Wales’s three children: Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six. Kensington Palace typically does not confirm the children’s attendance at events in advance.
The Wales family has faced a challenging period, with Kate undergoing major abdominal surgery in January and preventive chemotherapy following a cancer diagnosis.
While Prince George has recently attended football matches with his father, William, including the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Man City in May, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis last appeared in public on Christmas Day 2023.
In May and April, Kate took official portraits of Charlotte and Louis to mark their respective birthdays.
Royal Editor Emily Nash says: “What has proved to be a very challenging year for the royal’s health-wise and amid the uncertainty of a General Election campaign, the presence of the young royals at events this Saturday will be crucial for The Firm.”
Emily continues: “It has not yet been revealed whether they will be accompanied in the carriage by other members of the family – or even the King and Queen themselves – while their father the Prince of Wales takes part on horseback.
“At the time of writing, an appearance by Kate has not been ruled out, but if she were to appear, it might just be fleetingly, on the Palace balcony afterwards.”
