King Charles’s plan to ride horseback at this year’s Trooping the Colour may be hindered to some extent by weather conditions, according to a royal reporter.
Speaking in the latest episode of Royal Report, Jack Royston noted how soldiers standing guard over proceedings have been known to faint in the past – and this means careful consideration will be taken over whether Charles is safe to travel by horse.
The King’s Birthday Parade takes place in June and King Charles returned to public-facing duties last week. Sources have described him as “raring to go” though he continues to undergo cancer treatment.
He has expressed interest in leading the troops via horseback like he did last year. Any decision will be made with Buckingham Palace doctors.
“Now that he is actively going back to work, it raises the prospects that if he’s really feeling up to it, he could actually ride in the parade, says Mr Royston.
