Queen Elizabeth won’t take Trooping the Colour royal salute for the first time in 70 years
Fox News
During the Trooping the Colour parade, Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Prince William will take the salute during the military display honoring the reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
Historically, the British monarch has taken the salute to her troops, known as the Household Division on Horse Guards Parade. This year her son Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, as well as her daughter Princess Anne and her grandson Prince William, will take the salute instead during the military display.
It is noted that the ceremony is being modified as the queen is experiencing "episodic mobility issues" and has had difficulties moving around in recent months.
