Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what plans his Department has made for the celebrations of His Majesty the King’s 75th birthday in November 2023.

It is not customary for the Cabinet Office to make plans to celebrate the 75th birthday of a Monarch, as seen with the late HM Queen Elizabeth II’s 75th birthday celebrations.

However, the Sovereign's birthday was officially celebrated by the ceremony of Trooping the Colour (King's Birthday Parade) on Saturday 17th June 2023.

The Ministry of Defence also fires gun salutes every year for The King's birthday on 14th November.

Equally, I am sure that, like me, he welcomed the wonderful weekend of celebrations for His Majesty the King’s Coronation last month, which were a triumph of pomp, pageantry and pride in Britain.
