15 Photos Of The Young Royals During The 2023 Trooping The Colour Parade

Trooping the Colour is an annual celebration to mark the British Sovereign’s official birthday. The 2023 event was the first held in honor of King Charles III, who ascended the throne in 2022.

Trooping the Colour typically takes place every June, and has been a royal tradition for over 260 years.

King Charles III rode horseback in the parade. It was the first time a sovereign did this since the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1986.

The event also featured Prince William and Kate Middleton, along with their children Princes George and Louis, and Princess Charlotte.

At one point during the procession to Buckingham Palace, Prince George held his nose, which could have been a result of the many horses surrounding them.

Prince George and Prince Louis sported matching navy suit jackets and red ties for the occasion.

Princess Charlotte, meanwhile, donned a white and red dress with a bow around the collar.

The youngest royal stole the show, unsurprisingly.

Weeks prior, he made faces on the Buckingham Palace balcony while celebrating the coronation.

Prince Louis also appeared to enjoy the flypast and acted out someone flying a plane.

In 2022, Prince Louis appeared to shout and covered his ears when the planes flew by overhead during the Platinum Jubilee’s ceremonial flypast.

This time around, he reacted much more in favor of the moment.

He took a moment to salute the crowd after the national anthem “God Save The King” played.

While it isn’t clear why Prince Louis is making this face, it’s definitely a mood.
