What Does Charles Mean? If you're looking for a traditional, masculine name that seems to never go out of style, consider using the name Charles. The name Charles is derived from the Old English word “ceorl,” meaning “free man.” The word “ceorl” was used to distinguish a free person from a bondsman or slave (“thew”) and a noble person (“eorl”).

AP Wait, does Royal family watchers may be scratching their heads at headlines saying the recently crowned monarch will celebrate his 75th birthday this Saturday, even though his birthday falls on Nov. 15. It's a long-held royal tradition for British monarchs to celebrate their day of birth in an annual summer parade known as What is the Trooping the Colour parade and what is its significance? Here's what to know. How did Trooping the Colour come to be? The Trooping the Colour parade has marked the official birthday of Britain's sovereign for 260 years, with the parade designated as the official marker for the sovereign's birthday in 1748. The "Colours" in the title of the parade refer to the regimental flags and insignia displayed by British soldiers in order to provide a rallying point on the battlefield. "This was important because, without modern communications, it was all too easy for troops to become disoriented and separated from their unit during conflict," reads the website for The Household Division, a unit of the British military, adding that young officers would march between ranks of troops with the colors held high in order to let soldiers know what their regiment's colors looked like. This march is the origin of the word "trooping." "So, what today is a great tradition began life as a vital and practical parade designed to aid unit recognition before a battle commenced," Why is Trooping the Colour the monarch's official birthday? Who doesn't love a summertim...

On Saturday, June 17, 2023, a public celebration of King Charles' birthday will take place in London. More than 1,500 soldiers, 300 horses and 400 musicians will gather for an epic display marking the King's birthday. Although the monarch was born in November, he continues the longstanding tradition of marking the occasion during warmer weather months. However, it is not usually celebrated near the sovereign's actual birthday — instead, they pick a summer month for a better chance of having good weather for the event. Like his mother (whose birth date was April 21), King Charles opted to have Trooping the Colour take place in June, although his actual birthday is November 14. Other members of the royal family who regularly attend Trooping the Colour include Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh (with their children, Lady Louise and James, Earl of Wessex), Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Zara Tindall, Peter Phillips and more.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, relocated to California in 2020 after stepping back as senior members of the royal family. Although Prince Harry returned to the U.K. solo in May for King Charles' coronation and last week for a court appearance, it's unlikely that they will take part in Trooping the Colour this year.
