Mike Tindall Admits His Seat at King Charles' Coronation Was 'Frustrating'

Trooping the Colour.King Charles III will attend his first Trooping the Colour parade as sovereign on June 17 and it will mark his official birthday.However, the 74-year-old’s completion of another trip around the sun is actually on November 14.So why does the monarch observe two birthdays every year?The answer lies in something pretty unexpected: the weather.Trooping the Colour has been a tradition in the royal family since 1748.However, Edward VII — who reigned from 1901 to 1910 — was born in November, and he decided to move the bash to June because there was less likely to be rainy skies.And he didn’t want anything to ruin the joyful occasion. But the custom may wane if Prince William or his oldest son, Prince George, take the throne in the future.George, 9, celebrates his big day on July 22, while the Prince of Wales, 40, honors his birthday on this year’s summer solstice, June 21.During the Trooping the Colour, hundreds of soldiers and horses stomp the ground from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade.Members of the royal family ride alongside the military personnel on horseback and in carriages.The late Queen Elizabeth often participated in the parade, despite her birthday being in April.

Prince Harry has revealed the household "obsession" he now lives by after it was drummed into him and Prince William by his environmentalist father King Charles.

Mike Tindall — a.k.a. husband of Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall — was among those invited to attend the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey.

Mike Tindall, Princess Anne's son-in-law, is speaking out about his seat at King Charles' coronation that took place on May 6. Mike, who is married to Charles' niece Zara Tindall, shared a recap on the historic ceremony on his "The Good, The Bad and The Rugby" podcast.  "You're in the hottest spot, but it was all happening just around the corner of wall that you can’t see!" Tindall said, adding a laugh. "You do have a front-row seat."  Mike did not actually sit in the front-row.

As it happens, they were on the same row as Princess Anne's son Peter Phillips, and just four back from the likes of Princess Eugenie, her sister Princess Beatrice and the controversy magnet that is Prince Harry, and yet, Mike, 44, and Zara's vision was impaired by something as simple as a structural corner.
