King Charles' birthday parade, Trooping the Colour, will go ahead as planned despite a general election in July, the military has confirmed.
The annual celebration, which is traditionally accompanied by a balcony performance by members of the royal family, will take place on Saturday, June 15.
The King, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and Queen Camilla will attend the event.
Other royals in attendance remain unknown, although the Princess of Wales is unlikely to attend as she undergoes cancer treatment.
Earlier this week it was announced that the royal family had postponed appointments that could “draw attention or distract from the election campaign”.
In addition to the annual Trooping the Colour, events to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day and royal appearances in Portsmouth and Normandy will go ahead as originally planned in June.
Earlier today, the British army announced that almost a thousand soldiers and around 240 horses will perform a 'khaki rehearsal' in London on Thursday. This rehearsal will take place in front of 1,000 people as a test for soldiers and horses who still have to rehearse in public.
Ahead of Trooping the Color – and The Major General's Review on Saturday and The Colonel's Review on June 8 – Lieutenant Colonel James Shaw, the Brigade Major of the Household Division, will confirm that the troops are at the required standard.
The annual Trooping the Color has marked the official birthday of the British sovereign for more than 260 years.
It marks King Charles' second reign after he ascended the throne in September 2022.
