The $30 million royal tradition
Trooping the Colour, the annual celebration of the King's official birthday, has been a staple of British tradition for over 270 years. This year's event, attended by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, marked a significant shift in the royal family's dynamics, with a smaller and more streamlined group of working royals taking part.
The event, which dates back to the 18th century, is rooted in battlefield customs where regimental flags, or colours, were paraded before soldiers so they could recognize them amid the smoke of combat. This year, the honour of trooping the colour fell to the Grenadier Guards, the British Army's most senior infantry regiment, which is celebrating its 370th anniversary.

Prince George's appearance at the event comes amid reports that he will attend Eton College this September. According to the Daily Mail's Diary Editor Richard Eden, the prince sat his entrance exams last week and is expected to join the prestigious school. This marks another step in his journey as the future heir to the throne.
