King Charles sends clear message about Royal Family's future
This year's Trooping the Colour was markedly different to last year's, where there was feverish interest in the Princess of Wales's return to the royal spotlight following her cancer diagnosis.

King Charles sent a clear message yesterday (Image: Getty)As the skies turned red, white and blue yesterday afternoon courtesy of the roaring jets of the Red Arrows, the nation was reminded of the important role the monarchy plays. The King and Queen soaked up the sunshine as they participated in the parade in an open carriage.
Crowds chanted "we love the King" as they whizzed past, followed by half a dozen senior royals. This year's Trooping the Colour was markedly different to last year's, where there was feverish interest in the Princess of Wales's return to the royal spotlight following her cancer diagnosis.

Heavy downpours also had to be contended with, a far cry from the warm temperatures the parading soldiers and royals experienced yesterday.

But one thing that both events showcased was the Royal Family at its best, putting on a united front as they stood shoulder to shoulder on the Palace balcony.
The choreography of the brief moment was perfectly executed, projecting an image of the longevity of the monarchy and the line of succession. It was a powerful image of a tight-knit family, bound even closer after a difficult few years.
Cancer struck two senior royals one after the other. While Kate is now in remission, the King continues to undergo a weekly course of treatment.
Ever since Charles received the shocking diagnosis, so soon into his reign, he has thrown himself into his work and shown the public it's possible to live with cancer.
His incredible work ethic - racking up dozens of engagements, audiences and duties per week - means it is easy to forget the 76-year-old still has the disease.

The only sharp reminder came in March when he was briefly admitted to hospital for side-effects from his treatment. Even then, he was promptly back to work and undertook a four-day visit to Italy, followed by a whirlwind trip to Canada.
A senior royal aide recently remarked that the King is "getting on with it" and "managing" his condition, adding: "I genuinely see no difference in him."
For the King, duty and the unwavering support of family have helped him through the difficult moments, making events such as Trooping the Colour so important.
He has grown ever closer to his beloved daughter-in-law Kate and remains grateful for his sister, Princess Anne's stoic service, as well as for the increasing role played by his brother and sister-in-law, Edward and Sophie, Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
Grenades from Montecito have been deftly ignored as the King focuses on only those he can trust to continue the Crown's important traditions.
The Royal Family put on a united front yesterday (Image: Getty)Kate and her daughter each paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth by wearing jewellery that belonged to the late monarch. The Princess wore diamond and pearl earrings, and Charlotte a horseshoe brooch, which her great-grandmother gave her as a gift.
While Charlotte looked older than her years, waving politely beside her mother as they travelled in the Ascot Landau, her two brothers let their personalities shine.
George and Louis - almost five years apart in age - kept each other entertained on the carriage journey by appearing to crack jokes.
The brotherly bond was seen later on the Palace balcony, when the boys stood side by side. But George soon stepped into his role as older brother, signalling Louis to stop his repeated waving to the crowds.
And the event showed that while the King is keen to honour his mother's traditions, he is also putting his own stamp on the monarchy.

When the Queen led Trooping in 2017, just days after the Grenfell Tower blaze, she marked the loss of life by a minute's silence.
This year, the King went a step further by asking senior officers to wear armbands as a mark of respect to the Air India plane crash victims, a moving addition to the ceremony. And, in a reflection of his eco credentials, the RAF used sustainable aviation fuel in the flypast for the first time.
It's tweaks such as these that prevent the Royal Family from becoming out of touch with the modern world, while ensuring it provides continuity and tradition.
In the three years since his Coronation, Charles is proving he knows exactly how to respond to a crisis and is able to adapt to what the public needs.
