His Majesty King Charles III carried out military ceremonial events in two days.

On June 4, in his capacity as Captain General of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, His Majesty visited the newly formed King's Gurkha Artillery Unit in Salisbury.

He was presented with a large traditional mala flower garland, and watched as the troops took part in a formation parade at Larkhill Barracks in Wiltshire.

The parade celebrated the creation of the Army's first dedicated Gurkha Artillery Unit which highlighted the "enduring and deeply valued relationship between the United Kingdom and Nepal".

The unit was formally established in April 2025 and the King's Gurkha Artillery, as explained by His Majesty, now allows Gurkhas to serve "across the full spectrum of capability within the British Army".

The King told the troops: "I can only offer you all my sincere thanks for your determination and commitment in stepping forward at the beginning of this important new chapter."

Today, June 5, King Charles III, as Captain of the General Royal Marines, presented new colours to 40, 42, 43, and 45 Commando Royal Marines in Windsor Castle, almost 25 years since his father, Prince Philip, carried out the same honour in July 2001.

The late Duke of Edinburgh served as Captain General of the Royal Marines from 1953 up to his retirement in 2017. He was succeeded by his grandson, Prince Harry, but in 2020 Harry was forced to give up his role when he stepped back from royal duties.

During the ceremony this morning, King Charles paid tribute to Marine Corps, acknowledging their sacrifices and courage. He also announced that three Commando brigade will be known as the UK Commando Force.

The Royal Palace of Norway just announced today that Crown Princess Mette-Marit will undergo a lung transplant "as soon as possible".

The announcement comes after Crown Prince Haakon cancelled his last engagement in Japan to return home and their eldest daughter, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, took a leave of absence from her university studies to return home to be with her mother.

The Crown Princess's Pulmonologist at the National Hospital explains that her illness is progressing rapidly and confirms she needs to undergo a lung transplant "as soon as possible".

Due to these circumstances, all upcoming public activities and engagement related to her role as Crown Princess, will be cancelled.

Crown Prince Haakon will also reduce his public engagement and adjust his royal schedule according to his wife's situation.

He has already announced the cancellation of his trip to Sweden to celebrate the wedding anniversary of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden on June 13, preferring to limit long journeys in Norway and abroad before and after the operation.

It is due to this difficult family situation that Princess Ingrid Alexandra needed to pause her university studies abroad to care for her mother and assist her father on royal duties.

This is a very challenging time for the Norwegian royal family and we're hoping it will have a positive outcome after the crown princess will undergo a transplant.

Happy 64th birthday to Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium, Archduchess of Austria-Este! 🎂

Born Astrid Joséphine-Charlotte Fabrizia Elisabeth Paola Marie on June 5, 1962, she is the second child and only daughter of King Albert II of Belgium and Queen Paola, and the younger sister of King Philippe of the Belgians. Princess Astrid is currently 5th in the line of succession to the Belgian throne.

On September 22, 1984, she married Archduke Lorenz of Austria-Este, the eldest son of Robert, Archduke of Austria-Este (1915–1996) and Princess Margherita of Savoy-Aosta (1930–2022). Robert was the second son of Charles I, (beatified), the last Emperor of Austria-Hungary, and his wife, Empress Zita (born Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma).

On November 27, 1995, King Albert II released a Royal Decree granting Archduke Lorenz the title of Prince of Belgium, this decree extended to his and Princess Astrid children but not to their grandchildren.

In 1996, upon the death of Archduke Robert, Prince Lorenz became the Head of Austria-Este, a cadet branch of the defunct House of Austria-Lorraine.

Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz have five children:

1. Prince Amedeo of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este (born in 1986)

2. Princess Maria Laura of Belgium, Archduchess of Austria-Este (born in 1988)

3. Prince Joachim of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este (born in 1991)

4. Princess Luisa of Belgium, Archduchess of Austria-Este (born in 1995)

5. Princess Laetitia of Belgium, Archduchess of Austria-Este (born in 2003)

Princess Astrid is a working royal and carried out official engagements on behalf of the Belgian monarchy. But in December 2025, it was announced she would step back from royal duties, including her role as Belgium's trade envoy, due to health reasons.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway decided to pause her university studies in Australia to be with her mother. Crown Princess Mette-Marit's health has worsened as per last interview of Crown Prince Haakon.

On June 3, 2026, Her Royal Highness Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway, arrived in Oslo from Sydney, Australia.

She decided to take a leave of absence from her studies (she's currently in her freshman year at the University of Sydney taking up Political Economy and International Relations) to be with her mother, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, whose health continues to deteriorate due to chronic pulmonary fibrosis.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra, second in line to the Norwegian throne, arrived in Norway in time also of her father's return from Japan. Crown Prince Haakon, who is in Japan since June 1 for an official working visit, cancelled his June 4 engagement to rush back home to be with his wife.

It's uncertain how long Princess Ingrid Alexandra will stay in Norway but her father revealed that the princess intends to return to Australia to finish her studies. Her stay in Norway and leave of absence from the University of Sydney depend on her mother's health.

The Norwegian royal palace didn't share new information on Crown Princess Mette-Marit's situation. It is also unknown if she will undergo a lung transplant soon (as some speculated).

We're wishing everything will be fine with the crown princess as she continues to battle her illness.
