The Princess of Wales looked incredible on Saturday at Trooping the Colour 2025 . It's one of the biggest royal events of the year. Thousands of royal fans excitedly line London's streets to watch it. It's also televised, broadcast to millions.
The event has marked the monarch's official birthday for over 260 years. Over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians take part in the display of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare. The parade travels from Buckingham Palace down The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, and closes with a Royal Air Force fly-past.

2024 was a big Trooping the Colour moment for Kate - it was her first public appearance amidst her courageous battle with cancer.

Accessorising to perfection, she added Cassandra Goad’s pearl earrings, a Mulberry 'Bayswater' Black Suede Clutch, and Jimmy Choo’s 'Romy 85' Optic White Leather Pumps. The finishing touch was the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, as the Princess is the Guards' honorary colonel.
It turns out that Kate's dress was not a new design from the British label, but in fact, she reworked the frock to create an entirely new garment.

To update the look for the King’s birthday parade in 2024, she upcycled it by pairing it with a different belt and an added bow at the collar, making it nearly unrecognisable.
