The sweet moment was
caught on film during the coverage, showing the Cambridge children bowing
their heads when the national anthem played upon their arrival at Horse Guards
Parade.
Prince George was dressed
in a navy suit, white shirt and blue tie for the occasion, while his
younger brother Prince Louis was wearing a sailor-style white
and navy top echoing an outfit worn by his father at the 1985 Trooping event.
Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte’s hair was worn down, dressed up with two
fine plaits fastened with a blue ribbon. She looked pretty in a cornflower
blue dress.
The occasion marked the first
time Prince William and Kate’s children took part in the carriage procession as
historic celebrations marking the Queen’s 70-year reign began during the
four-day weekend.
Cheers went up from thousands
of spectators on The Mall as they caught sight of the royal kids with proud
parents Kate and the Duchess of Cornwall.
George, Charlotte and Louis smiled
and waved enthusiastically as they sat in a row, with Louis, the youngest, in
the middle of his older siblings.
The traditional carriage
procession left Buckingham Palace ahead of Trooping the Colour, also known as
the Birthday Parade – the start of four days of festivities honouring the
Queen.
