King Charles III, who was suffering from cancer. (75) plans to attend the Trooping the Color military parade in June on his favorite horse, Noble. This is what “Mail Online” reports. He wanted to “lead” the parade, which could be seen as a positive sign to the population after the shock diagnosis. However, his participation on horseback is not yet guaranteed, as doctors continue to urge caution.
Last year, Noble, a black mare who was a gift from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, was a bit playful during the parade from Buckingham Palace up the Mall. That and the weather on parade day should play a role in the doctors’ final decision.
First public appearance is coming up
Meanwhile, with the blessing of his doctors, Charles’ official return to the public is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday. He will visit a cancer treatment center with Queen Camilla (76).
The 75-year-old king is still receiving treatment for his own illness, but his medical team is reportedly “pleased with the progress so far.” Buckingham Palace announced plans on Friday for its first public event in four months. The visit is expected to be particularly poignant given his and his daughter-in-law’s battle with cancer.
