Trooping the Colour will be taking place in less than three weeks despite the General Elections and King Charles is set to attend the celebrations, according to the latest reports.
Buckingham Palace released a statement on Wednesday evening saying that the Royal Family would have to postpone engagements in the summer "which may appear to divert attention or distract" from the General Election announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak earlier in the day.
But according to the Mail, the King's birthday celebrations will be going ahead as planned on Saturday, June 15, with the monarch expected to travel by carriage instead of riding on horseback this year.
Trooping the Colour is held every year as an official birthday event for the monarch, even though Charles's actual birthday is on November 14.
It is one of the biggest military ceremonies of the year, featuring more than 1,200 soldiers and musicians plus more than 200 horses.

Last weekend, before Mr Sunak's announcement, the Times reported that the monarch was eager to attend this year's celebrations but would likely break the royal tradition of riding on horseback and travel by carriage instead.
The King, who's currently undergoing cancer, was given permission by his doctors to return to public duties last month after a short break.
Now the Mail's latest report suggests that Charles may watch the military parade from a podium instead, having travelled there by carriage like his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Buckingham Palace said that any future engagements involving the King "will be adapted where necessary" to accommodate his recovery.

Last year, Charles became the first monarch in more than 30 years to take part in Trooping the Colour on horseback.
The King took the royal salute as Colonel in Chief of the Household Division’s seven regiments during the ceremony, staged on Horse Guards Parade, as members of the royal family and 8,000 spectators watched.
The late Queen last rode out for the parade in 1986.
