With so much stuff crammed into the first 21 months of King Charles's reign, it somehow feels much longer, but this is only the king's 9th colour to rule the colour as a monarch since taking the throne in 2022/2. His first, held on May 6 last year and shortly after his 5/6 coronation, was a completely different feeling to this one, which began with dark skies, abundant rain and ominous weather, and blessed to see the sun break through. The weather in London is, in fact, indicative of 2024 in the Royal family: there is no question about it being a difficult season — dark, stormy and sometimes even ominous — but Trooping the colour means that the proverbial sun shines again, even if at some point it feels like it never will. It was a great experience.

In last year's Trooping of Colour—the Monarch's annual birthday Parade, because of the supposedly favourable weather in London at the time— was held on May 6 every year (apparently not held this year)-Prince William, heir to the throne, stood next to his father, the King, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace flypast for the Royal Air Force The Royal Family enjoyed so much It's not just about you, it's about you. But this year, it was a different lineup: William was the Princess of Wales who was replaced for, who has grown closer than ever to her father-in-law as both fighting cancer, was diagnosed in an almost eerily similar way- both procedures detected cancer after both were scheduled for a non-cancerous procedure at the London clinic in May. It was a great experience. Charles announced his diagnosis on 2 May 5, the same day he began treatment, Kate announced her on 3 May 22 video played around the world Met

The king and Princess of Wales standing in line on Saturday is not just a coincidence, it shows how close the bond between the 2 has become. "This can be interpreted as a gesture of solidarity and support from Charles to Catherine," Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal expert, told the Sun.

Body language expert Judy James, speaking to the mirror, said the king's decision to stand next to Kate shows her as "equal in status and a valued relationship." "It was Kate who was placed right next to him in the lineup and given most of the king's attention. Their chat appeared to be animated and ended with laughter shared several times. The first way Kate speaks to Charles suggested that this is a mutually supportive relationship.

She added that "Kate relaxed as the chat continued, and by the end of the look her wide, fun, dimpled smile was back." Charles also appeared to be grateful for his empathetic bond with Kate, by singing the National Anthem, he was close to tears by the crowd's support for both of them

Fitzwilliams said that the king's decision to let Kate stand next to him on the balcony was certainly made out of love, but the world was not. He told the Sun that the moment he saw them together was also not lost to the public being symbolic: "Let's be frank," he said. "Going through all the ceremonies would have been very stressful. It's all in the eye of a global media storm. Britain is known for its ceremonial brilliance. King Charles and Princess of Wales knew very well that all the public movements would be filmed.He described the moment as "a very successful one, and the image was of absolute solidarity," adding that Charles's decision to stand next to Kate was what Fitzwilliams said would "pay the highest possible tribute — I believe the late Queen would have been proud of the way they handled it." He added: "We have a lot of work to do and we are looking forward to working with them."

Kate's decision to attend was primarily related to her 3 children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, but they reportedly loved the event., It is possible that Kate, who knew that William was riding a horse, did not want to ride in a carriage with someone other than her. But the Daily Mail's Rebecca English writes that the decision also had to do with her desire to be there for the king at his birthday parade."For Kate, there is also a determination to support her stepfather, whom she has been increasingly close to over the years, and she now shares the enviable bond of a serious health battle," English wrote. 

Before her announcement on Friday that she would attend Trooping the Colour the next day, Kate released her statement along with photos taken a week ago in Windsor by Matt Porteous, a longtime favorite photographer of the Welsh family, what the Daily Express calls a "cordial chat" with Charles. I had no idea what was going on. Times Royal Editor Kate Muncie said the news of Kate's return was "very important" and all major political parties had also been informed earlier in the day, according to the Daily Express: "The Palace warned No. 10 and the Cabinet Office and notified the opposition parties.The announcement was made at 6pm UK time on Friday to maximize the impact.

The next day, "How Kate-next door," was body language expert Noor Hibbert. "It's clear that he respects and values Kate," she said. They were often engaged in animated laughter and conversation, which can be seen in pictures. Eye contact shows a genuine connection, and undoubtedly shows a bond that has grown deeply with their shared experience of cancer.

Prior to Saturday's appearance, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson shared that the king was "delighted" that Kate would join him and the rest of the royal family to Trooping the colour the next day. Even Kate tomorrow did say that she would like to "participate in the number of performances of the summer" as she continues to process as she is expected to participate in the Garter service at Royal Ascot, but this is a hi report — no Trooping, skin color, annual samples and testing of the Royal Calendar.
