Princess Kate Middleton's attendance at the Trooping the Colour parade on June 15 is uncertain as she battles cancer.
King Charles will also be adapting his participation in the event, which celebrates his official birthday.
The parade may feature a slimmed-down balcony appearance with only working royals present.
Non-working royals like Prince Harry are unlikely to attend, reflecting strained relationships within the family.
The absence of key figures like the Princess of Wales raises questions about their roles in future royal events.
Despite these changes, the parade will still showcase British royalty's traditional pomp and ceremony.
The public can watch the event from the Mall or St. James' Park, and it will also be broadcast on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer.
The Royal Family has not confirmed Kate's attendance, leaving the possibility open for a surprise appearance at the parade's conclusion.
