Royal Children Steal the Show at Trooping the Colour as Prince Louis Adorably Dances to Parade Music
Royal fans were thrilled when Kate Middleton announced she would attended Trooping the Colour after six months away from the spotlight amid her cancer battle. However, the royal children once again stole the show at the annual event.
On Saturday, June 15, the parade honoring the birthday of the reigning British monarch, King Charles II, kicked off at Buckingham Palace. It traveled along The Mall to Horse Guards Parade before returning to the palace.
Middleton rode in a carriage with her three children, Prince George, who turns 11 next month, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. Meanwhile, her husband, Prince William, 41, rode on horseback in uniform during the Trooping of Colour.
