After arriving at Buckingham Palace by car, Kate and the children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, 7, traveled in a traditional horse-drawn carriage down The Mall. Charlotte sat beside her mother, while her brothers faced backward across from them.

The Duke, 40, and Duchess of Sussex, 43, last attended the military parade in 2022 for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. Two years prior, they had stepped away from their royal duties and relocated to Montecito, California. Therefore, the couple had to watch the ceremony from a separate balcony alongside other non-working royals.

Prince William, Princess Kate Middleton and their children George, Charlotte and Louis are set to join King Charles and Queen Camilla this weekend for the 2025 Trooping the Colour celebrations (a.k.a. the King’s Birthday Parade). The annual event marks King Charles III’s birthday with a parade and procession through the streets of London.
