While Trooping the Colour is officially held in honor of King Charles III, it was his grandchildren – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – who stole the spotlight at the 2025 festivities.

The British royal family is known for its rich tapestry of traditions, and birthdays are no exception. In fact, King Charles celebrates not one, but two birthdays each year. His actual birth date is Nov. 14, 1948, but his “official” birthday is marked every June – a longstanding royal custom. This ceremonial birthday is the centerpiece of Trooping the Colour, a grand event steeped in pageantry and military precision.

Typically, the ceremony features over 1,400 parading soldiers, 400 musicians, 200 horses, and many onlookers, according to The Royal Household’s official website. The parade, which usually starts from Buckingham Palace, concludes with a patriotic display by the Royal Air Force.

The origins of this tradition date back to King George II in 1748. Since his birthday fell in gloomy November, a more weather-friendly celebration was scheduled for the summer months. That practical decision gave rise to a centuries-old ritual that continues to this day, regardless of when the reigning monarch’s birthday actually falls.

On June 14, 2025, the young royals took their place alongside the older royals, Prince William, Princess Catherine, King Charles, and Queen Camilla, on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Waving to the public and watching the iconic Red Arrows soar overhead, their presence added a youthful charm to the day’s final moment – the grand culmination of Trooping the Colour, an enduring celebration of monarchy, heritage, and spectacle.

As the Royal Air Force flypast came to a close, Prince Louis delighted the crowd with a cheerful final wave and a beaming smile, walking past his parents with playful confidence. Next to him, Princess Charlotte turned to glance back at the cheering crowds, comforted by a guiding hand from her mother, Princess Catherine.

Earlier that day, the royal siblings arrived in a carriage with their mother, the Princess of Wales, looking coordinated and polished. Charlotte matched her mother in elegant aqua outfits, while George and Louis wore sharp suits and red ties, echoing their father, Prince William’s look.

The year 2025 marked a decade since Prince George first took part in Trooping the Colour. In 2015, not yet 2 years old, he was cradled by Prince William during his balcony debut. The following year, Princess Charlotte made her first appearance, held by Catherine, while George stood independently.

Prince Louis made his charming debut in 2019 at just 13 months old, capturing hearts with his animated gestures and wide-eyed wonder during the Royal Air Force’s aerial display.

The 2025 ceremony was especially significant, following Prince George’s milestone: attending his first formal royal function as future heir. It’s clear the Prince and Princess of Wales are gently easing their children into public roles, step by step.

On May 5, 2025, Prince George made his debut at a Buckingham Palace tea party for World War II veterans, joining his parents in a significant step toward his royal duties. Sitting beside Prince William, he listened and engaged warmly – offering a glimpse into how the young royal is gradually being introduced to his future role. 

A palace insider said that the cautious approach was important to the royal family.

“It’s a massive balancing act,” the source said, adding, “William and Kate are doing the right thing, protecting him so he can have as normal a childhood as possible, but he’s also dipping into duties as a future monarch.”
