King Charles III will participate in his annual birthday parade next month from a carriage rather than on horseback, as he battles cancer, British media reported Thursday.

The 75-year-old head of state, who only recently resumed public engagements, will inspect the soldiers taking part in the June 15 Trooping the Colour ceremony from a royal carriage.

The yearly event marks the sovereign's official birthday and is one of the highlights of the royal calendar.
