For the unversed, every monarch actually has two birthdays, the day they were born, and the &#8220;official&#8221; birthday celebrated later in the year. That second date is marked with Trooping the Colour, the military parade most recently held on Saturday, June 13.<\/p>\n<p>The tradition goes back to the 1700s. It was started because monarchs born in winter couldn&#8217;t guarantee good weather for a public parade. Because of that, Edward VII also used a summer date for the official celebrations.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:King Charles III;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/tag\/king-charles\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">King Charles III<\/a>&#8216;s real birthday is November 14, the same month as his great-great-grandfather Edward VII. Hence, the monarch standardized the summer tradition. He merged his birthday with a military parade to take advantage of warmer, drier weather.<\/p>\n<p>However, Grant Harrold, who worked for the King at Highgrove, has noted that Prince William&#8217;s birthday falls in June. So the current format may change when he becomes king.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no guarantee that Prince William will scrap the two-birthday tradition when he eventually becomes King, but some royal watchers have speculated that he could choose to review it,&#8221; Mr Harrold shared with <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Heart Bingo Online;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heartbingo.co.uk\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Heart Bingo Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because his birthday falls on the 21st of June, there would be less practical need for a separate official birthday, as the date already coincides with the time of year traditionally used for royal celebrations,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally reported by Sibanee Gogoi on <\/em><a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1792939-prince-william-might-change-royal-family-birthday-rules\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Mandatory<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Prince William Could 'Review' Royal Birthday Rules After Becoming King \u2014 Report;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/06\/16\/prince-william-might-change-royal-family-birthday-rules\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Prince William Could &#8216;Review&#8217; Royal Birthday Rules After Becoming King \u2014 Report<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince William might reportedly take a fresh look at Trooping the Colour&#8216;s birthday traditions after he becomes King.
