Saturday’s event may be steeped in pomp and pageantry, but it carries deeper meaning for the British monarchy.

Prince William, Princess Kate Middleton and their children George, Charlotte and Louis are set to join King Charles and Queen Camilla this weekend for the 2025 Trooping the Colour celebrations (a.k.a. the King’s Birthday Parade). The annual event marks King Charles III’s birthday with a parade and procession through the streets of London.

The historic event celebrates the King's birthday, which falls on Nov. 14. He celebrated his first Trooping the Colour as monarch in 2023, when he rode on horseback during the parade and was joined on horseback by Prince William, Prince Edward and Princess Anne.
