Trooping The Colour Parade

Trooping The Colour Parade The annual Trooping the Colour Parade took place this weekend in London to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Official Birthday. It’s a birthday celebration truly fit for a Queen.

Trooping The Colour Parade Queen Elizabeth looked lovely in a powder blue ensemble. The lady of honor rode in a horse drawn carriage with her husband and Prince Philip.

Trooping The Colour Parade The Duchess of Cambridge joined her new royal family and rode in a carriage along with Prince Harry and Sophie of Wessex. Kate looked lovely, as usual, in an off-white skirt suit and black hat.

Trooping The Colour Parade The entire royal family stepped out on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to wave to the crowd and watch the air show.

Trooping The Colour Parade Last time we saw Prince William and Kate Middleton on the balcony, they shared their first kiss as newlyweds—twice—because the first one was far too short by the crowd’s standards. The Duke is known for disliking public displays of affection, but confidently had his arm around his wife’s waist during the show.
