King Charles Leads Royal Family Flypast, Honors Air India Victims

The British royal family gathered at Buckingham Palace to celebrate King Charles III's official birthday with the traditional Trooping the Colour parade and the iconic RAF flypast. King Charles, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, appeared alongside Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The parade included over 1,400 soldiers and was marked by a minute's silence honoring the 270 victims of the recent Air India tragedy, with the young royals participating in this tribute under the guidance of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. The balcony appearance featured 14 senior royals, a smaller group compared to past years, with notable absences including Prince Andrew, who remains excluded from official engagements. The event was a slightly more subdued occasion, with members in uniform wearing black armbands as a mark of respect for the tragedy. The Prince and Princess of Wales traveled with Prince Louis in their carriage, while George and Charlotte sat in front, sharing warm moments with the crowds.
