Kensington Palace released the first photo of the Prince of Wales on their official Instagram channels, delighting royal fans.

In the picture, William was seen wearing a Trooping the Colour uniform with a black armband. King Charles asked this in order to pay respect to the victims of the Air India plane crash.

As per BBC, Buckingham Palace's spokesperson also confirmed that the monarch "requested a minute's silence," to the royals after he inspected his birthday parade. 

Apart from Waleses, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and other senior members of the royal family are taking part in the significant gathering.
