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.

King Charles III's actual birthday is 14 November - he was born on 14 November 1948 - but the Sovereign's birthday (or HM The King's official birthday) is celebrated on another date, usually in the summer months. Coverage of the King's Birthday Parade begins at 10.30am on Saturday 14 June on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

The Royal Family and Buckingham Palace are busy preparing to celebrate the King’s birthday in style, with the annual Trooping the Colour celebrations kicking off in a matter of hours
