King Charles IIIwill soon make his Buckingham Palace balcony debut as monarch.

Although extended family members filled up the Buckingham Palace balcony each year for Queen Elizabeth’s birthday parade, known as Trooping the Colour, the appearance waslimited to only working royals(those who carry out official duties for the monarch) in June 2022 during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. This meant thatPrince HarryandMeghan Markle, who stepped back from their royal roles in 2020, andPrince Andrew, who is no longer a working royal following his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, did not appear on the balcony.
