The monarch celebrated his first Trooping the Colour and Order of the Garter service as king
Since the death of Queen Elizabeth II last September, King Charles has led the nation in mourning, played host to world leaders and taken centre stage at the most prestigious of royal celebrations.
It was “inevitable” that this would be “a year of firsts” for the new monarch, said Town & Country. Charles “took his inaugural salute as sovereign” at Trooping the Colour – or officially, the King’s Birthday Parade – on Horse Guards Parade at the weekend, before leading the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle yesterday.
