It’s a celebration for the Queen, but the royal children take center stage! The Trooping of the Colour gives royal watchers a chance to see the monarch and her entire family together on the public stage. The birthday celebration features the royals standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace – taking in the royal flypast and greeting watchers from around the world.
Having the entire family in attendance means the presence of the littlest members of the monarchy. Throughout the years Trooping of the Colour has seen some of the cheekiest moments from the Queen’s grand and great-grandchildren. From Prince Harry surprising Diana.
Princess Charlotte taking a tumble, and Prince George being shushed by his cousin. The young royals prove they are the stars of the show. Ahead of the Trooping on June 8 – where we may get a grand debut from Prince Louis – here is a look at the best moments from the little royals.
Someone's cheeky!
In one of the most infamous pictures from the ceremony, Prince Harry surprised his mother Princess Diana when he stuck out his tongue. Little William flashed a smile, as he was probably used to those antics.
