On June 13, 2026, the British Royal Family attended the King’s Birthday Parade, Trooping the Colour 2026, in London. Since 1748, Trooping the Colour has been a ceremonial event held annually on Horse Guards Parade in London by regiments of the Household Division to celebrate the official birthday of the sovereign.
King Charles III, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Princess Anne, Sir Timothy Laurence, and the Duke of Kent attended the 2026 King’s Birthday Parade in central London.
For the occasion, Queen Camilla wore a bespoke Fiona Clare coat, the Princess of Wales wore a new light blue coat dress by Catherine Walker, Princess Charlotte wore a new bespoke dress by Alessandra Rich, and the Duchess of Edinburgh wore a new short-sleeved, collared heavy cady midi dress by Roland Mouret.
That family is dwindling to nothing.
ردحذفAs it should be, keep it small and more meaningful.
حذفBut royal families from other countries act similarly! For example, Spain: King Felipe, Letizia and their two daughters - sometimes also the king's mother Sofia and that´s enough. The Netherlands: King, queen Maxima, their three daughters, his brother Constantin and his wife Laurentjen - no cousins anywhere... Only from the British royal family would you want all cousins and a wide extended family to be there.
حذفI personally would like to see Edward's children Louise and James - so far they have always acted very modestly and dignified, they do not even use the titles of prince and princess, although they would be entitled to them according to the current rules (unlike someone who does not even live in the UK, but snobbishly insists on titles that could later be monetized).

90 year old Duke of Kent was briefly on the balcony before the fly-past appearance of them all. So, he should be added in the total count to increase the number a little.
حذفPochi ma buoni
حذفQuality is better than quantity. Cream of the crop!
حذفMade my day!!!
حذفNo it is not dwindling, just not having every royal on the balcony makes sense, if they are not 'working royals'. I thought it a fantastic decision to only include working royals.
حذفThere’s still plenty of them! 😁
حذفBooring.
ردحذفWell, you seem to watch an entirely different show then than I do. Did you see the whole parade? Do you even know what all this is about? What regiment was featured? Who an ensign is and what his job was today? Do you know the drum horses Apollo and Perseus? What position the Princess Royal holds besides being the Colonel of the Blues & Royals?
حذفIndeed!!!!
حذفNo, not at all. You should stick to Netflix, Meghan Markle etc., AA.
حذفGreat look for Kate, very elegant. I also like Sophie's dress.
Camilla's look is original, new in her usual dress style.
And what do you think what your comment is (and says about you)?
حذفHappy to announce that I like Sophie's dress, Roland Mouret is so good. I would have greeted a more horizontal alignment of the hat, less incomprehensible this-and-thats on it and generally, a more hat-like appearance. Especially combined with such a beautiful classic dress, the silliness of this type of fascinators is striking. - The Princess of Wales looks perfect, even if I am not a fan of this type of stilistic strength and also not of the piping. So ... yes, it is perfect, I just don't really like it.
حذفThese photos are the reason why I visit this blog. So wonderful!
ردحذفCatherine looks terrific. Every inch the perfect future queen. Charlotte already has a lot of charisma, hard to believe she's only 11!
The ladies are all dressed nicely, the light colours perfect match well with the uniforms
ردحذفSorry to say but I don't like the POWs style lately. These very long dresses (or coats) with broad shoulders and wide blazer style collar. The only nice outfit I noticed I saw recently was the blue pant suit she wore in Italy.
ردحذفHow I love this Trooping the Colour Tradition. The beautiful performance of the soldiers in their gala-uniforms. No other country in the world can match this. Catherine in her signature coat is beautiful and her hat is magnificent. However these long slim-fit coats are getting a little bit boring.
ردحذفCatherine gaat steeds meer op een etalagepop lijken.
ردحذفCatherines hatt is just gorgeous ❤️
ردحذفI like Sophie's dress simply lovely. But Catherine's outfit is very 1980s Outdated!
ردحذفCatherine was not very colourful!
ردحذفAll these 4 ladies look great, with Catherine obviously the front-runner. The sky blue colour, her hat and her updo are lovely. I also like Sophie's Mouret dress.
ردحذفThe children as always, are very cute, with perfect coordinating ties and dress to match their mother.

The same outfit but in another color.
ردحذفI like the Duchess of Gloucester's look the best. The POW- I don't like the Catherine Walker&Co. coat dress very much. Don't like the hat much. DOE- I like the Roland Mouret much better on the model unfortunately. Don't like Sophie's hat. Princess Charlotte's looks cute. The Alessandra Rich is a mini version of her mother's.
ردحذفThe kids are getting so big. Very nice showing, crisp, dresses and great hats, fresh summery balancing out the uniforms. Except the Duchess of Gloucester and the Queen. I think if the Duchess had picked up the lighter dots in her accessories it would have looked better and been more harmonious with the others.
ردحذفMy personal, perhaps controversial, view is that I do not like this look on Queen Camilla. The late Queen wore an actual uniform while participating on horseback and then switched to dresses. This dressmaker/milliner look, while very well made still seems costume-like and comes off as play acting rather than the respectful outfit she means it to be.

Is it the lining of the coat dress we see on pictures N° 8 & 10 or is she wearing a white dress underneath ? And did you see it, she is wearing high heels, maybe ballerina's like her daughter would be better. Lol.
ردحذفPrince Louis is the cutest of the 3 children. I hope he will keep his friendly face.
ردحذفCatherine s'est inspirée d une tenue de ́la regrettée princesse Diana
ردحذفCharlotte va être éduquée dans le paraitre
The Queen looks fabulous. I do wish Catherine wore a darker color. We got spoiled the last couple of years, but the dress is gorgeous, just pale. William looks handsome.
ردحذفAA 15.23 booring ? Can't spell or can't be bothered to comment? Say something worth saying. It was the King's day full of tradition.Everyone is dressed for a midday event.
ردحذفI like Sophie’s outfit the best - lovely dress with clean lines, beautiful jewelry (especially the brooch), and a pretty hat that isn’t over-the-top.
ردحذفCamilla’s dress and hat are veering too much into costume territory for me. Her military brooch is gorgeous.
I would like Catherine’s hat better without the embellishment protruding from the underside of the hat. It’s a bit much. I think hats that are smaller and more vertical suit her face shape better than the large saucer-shaped hats worn with a low side bun, but maybe the larger hats give her more sun protection at these events. I generally do not care for her 1980’s style coats/dresses with white trim, and this one I additionally do not care for because the long, straight length with four rows of buttons makes her look overly-elongated. She and her children look very nicely color-coordinated.
The Duchess of Gloucester’s outfit is a rare miss for her, in my opinion. The ruffled collar with the netted hat seems overly fussy. She is usually a master of creative jewelry placement, but I don’t think the brooches (which are gorgeous) look quite right attached to the ruffled collar.

Style at it’s very best!
ردحذفSimple, good cut and exquisite in the details and the matching of the accesories, making it in total harmony.
The make-up : modest but very good.
All Royal ladies,present here today know how that is done, with Catherine as the unmatched star.
Thqueen wears a very well made coat and jolly hat.
Sophie is on the safe site, and the Princess Royal, young as ever in her military riding suit.
What an Impressive “ show” of unity for King and country it was!
A nation is really blessed with someone having a position that represents it but has nothing to do with politics.
