celebrates King Charles III He celebrates his birthday twice a year, as his real birthday is on the fourteenth of November, while his official birthday is held in June, and this tradition began centuries ago to adapt to the cold British weather.
Why does King Charles celebrate his birthday twice?
The reason behind the royal tradition of King Charles celebrating his birthday twice a year is that King George II, who was born in November, was too cold and wet for public events, so he instituted a second birthday celebration in the summer, allowing crowds to join in the celebrations in Outdoor.
British monarchs have followed this tradition ever since, especially those whose birthdays fall in the cooler months, allowing King Charles to continue celebrating it in November and June.
What is Trooping the Color?
The King’s Birthday celebrations in June revolve around Trooping the Colour, a large-scale military parade highlighting the pride and parade of a British regiment. Trooping the Colour dates back more than two centuries and involves thousands of soldiers, horses, musicians and the royal family.
The Trooping the Color parade is very popular with the British, as they come in large numbers to watch the royal family roam the streets of London, with the Royal Air Force displays, which concludes the celebration.
