Description: King Charles appeared moments away from a royal slip-up during Trooping the Colour 2026 after seemingly preparing to leave the Buckingham Palace balcony before the national anthem had been played. Prince William appeared to quickly step in with a reminder, prompting the King and Queen Camilla to remain with the rest of the Royal Family for a rendition of “God Save the King” before the celebrations officially concluded.
