Interesting and of course you are correct as to current usage.
I am, as is obvious, an old fogey and my "Sovereign's Birthday Parade" is the historical title, as I see in my collection of Brigade of Guards Standing Orders, and my old Programmes of the event.
I say interesting because as the title has transformed from Parade to mere Trooping, so the ceremony has enlarged and enlarged to be much more than Trooping, witness the introduction in living memory of the King's Troop and the RAF.
A rose by any other name ..........
