As the Royal Family gathered for Trooping the Colour the Princess of Wales turned her head swiftly as Queen Camilla appeared to give King Charles a “stern pep talk”, according to a body language expert. It was the first birthday parade for the monarch and it wall full of displays of pomp and pageantry from the most prestigious regiments in the British Army.
Charles became the first monarch in more than 37 years to ride in the parade, on a horse called Noble, the Mirror reports. After riding from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade, he then lined up alongside Prince William, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, who were also on horses, as well as Kate and Camilla, who watched proceedings from a dais.
There was one point where Charles appeared to struggle with his excitable steed and according to body language expert Judi James, Camilla was on hand to try to provide support - although Kate stayed out of it. She told the Mirror: "Trooping the Colour might have been slightly marred by the rather frisky horse that Charles seemed to be struggling with and which meant he rarely achieved the same kind of formal mounted pose that his son and siblings achieved riding behind him to the parade ground.
