Like every year, the birthday parade in honor of King Charles takes place in June – actually because of the better weather in summer, because the monarch celebrates in November. But the sun did not play along this year. Instead, the various regiments salute in the pouring rain. How do you dress for the unpredictable weather in England? The royals answer this question and show off their fashion skills.
Trooping the Colour 2024: The most beautiful looks of the royals
It goes without saying that the arrival of Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been anticipated with great anticipation since its announcement. When she finally arrives, first in a car and then in a carriage, all eyes are on her. In a white Jenny Peckham dress that she recycled for the occasion, she beams with her usual smile. But the other royals also impress with their colorful looks. Lady Louise Windsor impresses in a floral dress, while Duchess Sophie shines in lemon yellow. Queen Camilla opts for a jacket and dress in pastel green and a white hat with floral ornaments.
Princess Charlotte is reviving her look from last year, but with a color change that stands out. In 2023, she appeared in a maritime dress in white and red – this year she is wearing the same model in black and white. This complements the outfit of her mother, Catherine, in which the contrasting color accents dominate: white and black. They have also coordinated the details and both use bows that represent connection.
Prince William and King Charles appear in uniform, as is customary at this military parade. Queen Elizabeth has dispensed with formal dress for years and delighted with her presence in civilian clothes. An exception compared to previous monarchs, which King Charles does not seem to continue.
