Kate, 44, travelled in the Ascot Landau carriage in the royal procession with her children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, eight, through central London, from Buckingham Palace along the Mall to Horse Guards Parade and back. 

The Wales family faced chants from anti-monarchy protests, staged by the group Republic, who held banners reading « Stop the Reign » and chanted « not my King » and « not my Queen ». 

Despite the chants, shared widely in videos posted on social media, the Princess remained perfectly composed and merely directed a cool glance in their direction. 

The royal mother-of-three, who is married to Prince William, looked stunning for the occasion in a blue Catherine Walker ensemble, paired with a matching Philip Treacy wide-brimmed hat. 

Trooping the Colour marks the King’s official birthday – though Charles has his actual birthday on 14 November, when he will turn 78. 

The event was celebrated with a display of military pomp on Horse Guards Parade, while thousands took to the streets to catch a glimpse of the royals. 

An impressive flypast

Kate and her children managed to brush off the shouting as they later headed to the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the flypast after the carriage procession. The area directly in front of the palace was kept free of spectators.

They were joined by the King and Queen, Prince William, as well as Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Tim Laurence. Other royals included the Edinburghs, the Gloucesters, and the Duke of Kent. 

All eyes were on the Prince and Princess of Wales youngest child, Louis, who is famed for his playful nature on big royal occasions.

He was spotted ducking down to look through a half-open window to catch a glimpse of Trooping the Colour, and later leaning sideways to get a better view of the celebratory fly-past. 

The aerial display roared over the palace in 10 waves and featured Typhoon jets, Chinook helicopters, C-17 large military transport planes and the Red Arrows trailing their trademark red, white and blue smoke and joined by four F35-B short take-off and vertical-landing jets.

Anti-monarchy protests 

Police told anti-monarchy protesters to stay in a designated area on The Mall during Saturday’s Trooping the Colour ceremony.

The Metropolitan Police said the restrictions were intended to ensure the event « passes off without serious disruption and with minimal disturbance to horses ».

Republic said it planned to protest « right outside Buckingham Palace » when the royal family assembled on the balcony.

Its chief executive, Graham Smith, said the restrictions were « contemptible » and would keep demonstrators in an area « where we won’t be seen by the royals ».

He said the main message of the protest was to hold the royal family to account over what they knew about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s friendship with paedophile American financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Republic aims to abolish the monarchy altogether and says it hopes to « hold the royals accountable ».
