Although King Charles III’s actual birthday falls in November, the official celebrations of the British monarch’s birthday traditionally take place in June, a practice dating back to King George II in 1748, intended to ensure better weather for public festivities like the Trooping the Colour parade. Continuing this custom in 2025, British embassies worldwide marked the occasion in June, including in Prague where Ambassador Matt Field hosted a special event attended by Czech President Petr Pavel and Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský.
