Prince Edward’s Son James Wessex Absent from Trooping the Colour 2024

Prince Edward’s son, James, Earl of Wessex, was mysteriously absent from this year’s Trooping the Colour event, raising eyebrows among royal enthusiasts. While his sister, Lady Louise Windsor, made an appearance at the prestigious event alongside their parents, Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, James was nowhere to be seen. Some fans took to social media to express their disappointment at his absence, with one fan even noting that he would have normally joined his family in the carriage and on the balcony. It’s speculated that James’s absence was due to his commitments to studying for his A-Levels, as he is currently in school in Surrey, focusing on his education. Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, have chosen not to give their children traditional prince and princess titles, allowing James and his sister to shape their own futures despite their royal lineage.
