Kate, Princess of Wales, has stunned in blue alongside her children for Trooping the Colour 2026 as King Charles\u2019 official birthday parade<\/a> took place in London.<\/p>\n Trooping the Colour<\/a> has marked the official birthday of the British sovereign for over 260 years.<\/p>\n On Saturday (June 13), the parade saw over 1000 soldiers, 200 horses and 300 musicians take part. As part of the celebrations, senior members of the royal family took part in a carriage procession towards Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n King Charles and Queen Camilla travelled in one carriage, with the Prince of Wales, Prince Edward and Princess Anne following behind on horseback.<\/p>\n Queen Camilla wore a red silk crepe Grenadier Guards uniform dress from Fiona Care.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales, 44, travelled in a second carriage behind with her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.<\/p>\n Princess Catherine looked stunning in a light blue dress from Catherine Walker and matching hat from Philip Treacy. Meanwhile, George, 12, and Louis, eight, looked smart in dark suits.<\/p>\n They also wore light blue ties, sweetly matching with their mother.<\/p>\n Princess Charlotte, 11, wore a white dress with a matching bow in her hair, which she had styled in a half-up half-down look.<\/p>\n The Princess of Wales\u2019 blue outfit won over fans today, with many gushing on X. One person said: \u201cThe Princess of Wales is gorgeous, wow.\u201d<\/p>\n Another wrote: \u201cThe Princess of Wales always looks stunning in blue.\u201d<\/p>\n Prince George and Princess Charlotte looking so grown up today!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Someone else added: \u201cThe Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have arrived at Buckingham Palace and my, Catherine outdid herself.\u201d<\/p>\n Others noticed it looked similar to an outfit the late Princess Diana once wore. Speaking to CasinoHawks<\/a>, former royal butler Grant Harrold also noticed the similarities.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cKate looked amazing as always, and it didn\u2019t take long for the royal watchers to spot the similarities to one of her mother-in-law\u2019s past looks. I don\u2019t think this is a mistake.<\/p>\n \u201cMonths of preparations go into these outfits, and her team are complete pros. Kate knows the power of her clothes and she\u2019s using them to ensure the memory of Diana lives on.<\/p>\n \u201cShe would have known that the outfit similarities would result in everyone sharing old pictures of Princess Diana. By doing this, it means she can never be forgotten. It\u2019s very clever and it\u2019s very sentimental. It shows how thoughtful Kate is.\u201d<\/p>\n You can see the outfit similarities here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Elsewher at Trooping the Colour, many fans commented on the Wales children<\/a>, with one person saying: \u201cGreat to see the royal children with the Princess of Wales in the carriage, so grown up.\u201d<\/p>\n Another gushed: \u201cPrince George and Princess Charlotte looking so grown up today!\u201d<\/p>\n Someone else agreed: \u201cAw they are all grown up.\u201d<\/p>\n Another pointed out: \u201cGeorge\u2019s baby face has gone.\u201d<\/p>\nRoyals attend Trooping the Colour 2026<\/h2>\n
