In this special explainer episode, we examine the history of Trooping the Colour, why the monarch celebrates an “official birthday,” how the Buckingham Palace balcony appearance became so important, and what the event reveals about the modern Royal Family. We also explore the role of King Charles, Prince William, Princess Catherine, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Princess Anne, and the wider royal family — including how every appearance, absence, uniform and balcony position is interpreted around the world. Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor. New episodes every day.
