Princess Charlotte Pays Tribute to the Queen at Trooping the Colour 2025
Princess Charlotte, 10, captured attention at this year’s Trooping the Colour by wearing a light teal dress and a diamond horseshoe brooch, originally gifted to her by her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The brooch, with deep family history, was previously worn by Charlotte at the Queen’s funeral in 2022. It’s believed to have first belonged to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and was later passed down through generations.

The brooch is a symbolic nod to the Queen’s well-known love of horses.

Charlotte matched her mother, the Princess of Wales, who wore a blue coat dress by Catherine Walker and a hat by Juliette Botterill. Kate also honored the late Queen by wearing her Irish Guards regimental brooch and Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings, a wedding gift to Elizabeth II in 1947.

The Trooping the Colour ceremony, marking King Charles’ official birthday, featured military parades, a flypast by the RAF Red Arrows, and the Royal Family’s appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Due to his ongoing cancer treatment, King Charles participated in a carriage rather than on horseback.

Absent from the event were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew and his daughters, aligning with King Charles’ vision of a slimmed-down monarchy.

The celebration remains a historic tradition, with over 1,400 soldiers and hundreds of musicians parading through London in honor of the monarch.
