Last year's Trooping the Colour ceremony was packed with moments the Royal Family might prefer to forget.
Prince William and Princess Kate ’s children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – stole the spotlight with their candid reactions and playful antics. While the military commemoration went off without a hitch, the young trio's behaviour during the parade from Buckingham Palace to Whitehall became the day's main talking point. The royal children then appeared on the palace balcony for the military flyover, leading to more memorable moments that might leave the Royal Family cringing.
Prince Louis, in particular, grabbed attention with his expressive reactions. He was seen pulling faces and playing up to the camera, with a particularly memorable moment occurring during a ride through the Mall. The young prince was spotted cupping his nose and grimacing, likely due to the strong smell of horse manure. His brother George also appeared affected, wrinkling his nose in response.

Despite the formal occasion, these candid moments provided a humorous glimpse into the lives of the royal children.
Prince Louis of Wales charmed royal fans with his playful antics, making headlines during the Trooping the Colour event. His signature "window wiper" wave during a balcony appearance delighted onlookers and social media users. Despite a spectacular flyover of 70 aircraft at the end of the service, it was Louis who captured everyone's attention with his adorable gesture. One fan tweeted: "Prince Louis and his unique wiper blade wave."

Prince Louis wasn't the only young royal in the spotlight. Princess Charlotte also caught attention, looking "impatient" during a conversation with her great-aunt, the Duchess of Edinburgh. Lip reader Jeremy Freeman suggested the young princess was asking how long the event would last, reminiscent of King Charles' own impatience at his Coronation.
Charlotte drew comparisons to her late grandmother, Princess Diana, with fans noting her "distinctive stride." One Twitter user commented: "Does Princess Charlotte's stride here remind you of the way Princess Diana used to walk? I thought of Diana immediately."

Lip reader Jeremy Freeman claims that the Princess of Wales told them: "Do not look behind whilst on the coach." Despite this, Princess Charlotte was spotted looking back after the warning was allegedly given.
King Charles III marked his honorary birthday just before the Trooping the Colour, a tradition that dates back to King George II. The event is not just a continuation of a long-standing tradition of summer festivities, but also a tribute to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Elizabeth II had chosen the second Thursday of June for a sunnier celebration, and King Charles III has embraced this tradition, linking his official birthday with the Trooping the Colour event.
