As such, the absence of any royal family member at a major public event gets folks' attention.
Luckily, this probably doesn’t mean that King Charles III has found himself in yet another family feud.
James is simply away at school.
Prince Edward is the youngest child of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
Edward’s 16-year-old son James was also absent.
Last year’s event was the first to celebrate King Charles III.
In 2022, the annual celebration honored what turned out to be Queen Elizabeth II’s last birthday.
She was among the main royals who gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the end of the celebration.
However, Beatrice and Eugenie were notably missing from this year’s Trooping the Colour.
