King Charles III participates in Trooping the Colour parade, Prince William pays tribute to victims of Indian plane crash. London, UK. King Charles III, despite his doctors' recommendation to avoid strenuous activity, participated in the annual Trooping the Colour parade. Prince William, in his stead, rode on horseback, notably wearing a black armband as a mark of respect for the victims of a recent plane crash in India. The event was also marked by the matching outfits of Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte, a subtle tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II. "The coordinated outfits were a touching gesture," commented one royal watcher. The parade concluded with the Royal Family appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony, waving to the crowds.
