The royal family, including Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children, Princes George, Louis, and Princess Charlotte, gathered at Buckingham Palace to mark King Charles III’s official birthday. This year’s Trooping the Colour parade is the third for the king, who turns 77 next month.
Kate Middleton stunned in an aqua ensemble, paired with her son Princess Charlotte, while Prince William participated on horseback. The event saw over 1,300 soldiers and 300 musicians participate in the military parade, watched by the royal family from the palace balcony.
The Trooping the Colour marks the king’s official birthday, which falls annually on June 14, despite his actual birthdate being November 14. Last year’s ceremony was significant, as Prince William and Kate Middleton both publicly announced their cancer diagnoses. However, they have since made a positive update on their recovery, with Prince William wearing a black armband to commemorate the victims of the recent Air India air crash.
The event kicked off with the royal family arriving by car, followed by a traditional horse-drawn carriage down The Mall. Charlotte sat beside her mother, while her brothers faced backward across from them in navy suits and red ties that matched Prince William’s military uniform.
