Princess Kate Absent: King Charles Likely to Be Accompanied by Three Royals at Trooping the Colour
Princess Kate's absence from the upcoming Trooping the Colour event on June 15 may see King Charles being accompanied by three other prominent royals.
In her place, Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, and Zaretindol are expected to stand alongside the king during the ceremony.
The absence of Princess Kate, who has withdrawn from public duties earlier this year due to health reasons, has paved the way for other members of the royal family to step in.
Traditionally, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, all non-working royals and their children would gather on the Buckingham Palace balcony for special occasions.
However, King Charles has taken a different approach, particularly after Prince Andrew's retreat from royal duties in 2019.
This change in protocol has meant that individuals like Beatrice, Eugenie, and Zara have not been able to participate in balcony appearances since then.
With Princess Kate not in attendance, there is speculation that King Charles might reconsider his stance and allow non-working royals to join him on the balcony to accommodate the additional presence.
This shift could signal a more inclusive approach to royal engagements under his reign.
In a surprising move, it has been revealed that Lady Gabriela Windsor has been invited to join the royal family for the Trooping the Colour celebrations.
This invitation comes shortly after the tragic loss of her husband, Thomas Kingston, earlier this year, showcasing the supportive nature of the royal household.
Furthermore, Prince William extended invitations to his cousins, including Beatrice, Eugenie, Peter Phillips, Zara, and her husband Mike, to attend a recent garden party at Buckingham Palace.
