The Prince of Wales has praised troops for doing a ‘really good job’ during the final\u00a0rehearsal ahead of Trooping the Colour, ‘despite difficult conditions’, after two soldiers ‘fainted’ in the heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the practice session, known as the Colonel’s Review, a member of The Band collapsed; a photo showed the soldier lying on the ground with an instrument in hand. Another person was snapped being\u00a0carried away on a stretcher.<\/p>\n
The service at Horse Guards Parade in London – which saw Prince William inspect the Welsh Guards while on horseback – is effectively a final rehearsal for Trooping The Colour, which takes place next Saturday to mark King Charles III’s official birthday.<\/p>\n
William, 40, who became\u00a0Colonel of the Welsh Guards in December 2022, looked incredibly smart in his red military uniform, which he teamed with the traditional bearskin hat, while proudly displaying several medals on his chest.<\/p>\n
Taking to Twitter after the service, the Prince of Wales wrote: ‘A big thank you to every solider who took part in the Colonel\u2019s Review this morning in the heat. Difficult conditions but you all did a really good job. Thank you. W.’<\/p>\n
