King Charles's celebrates official birthday with Trooping the Colour
The parade featured a 41-gun salute, an RAF flypast and the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
On Saturday, June 13, 2026, the Princess of Wales, Catherine, joined her family in London for the annual Trooping the Colour parade, appearing in good spirits to celebrate King Charles III's official birthday.
This annual ceremonial celebration commemorates the reigning British monarch's birthday, though Charles's actual birthdate falls in November. Throughout the event, the Royal Family travelled in horse-drawn carriages through the capital, accompanied by a Sovereign's Escort and Household Cavalry.
Catherine wore a powder-blue and white coat-dress by Catherine Walker, accessorized with a Philip Treacy hat and a brooch bearing the Latin phrase "Quis Separabit," or "Who shall separate us?" The look echoed a similar ensemble worn by the late Princess Diana in 1987.
Accompanied by her husband, Prince William, the Princess rode in a carriage with their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The family coordinated their ensembles, with the children wearing pastel blue ties or white accents to match their mother.
Viewers remained captivated by the procession, with many praising the Princess's appearance as "regal" and "radiating happiness." The ceremony concluded with the Royal Family gathering on the Buckingham Palace balcony to witness a Royal Air Force flypast.
The British royal family participated in the Trooping the Troop's Parade on the occasion of King Charles III's birthday, with thousands of people in attendance.
