The most beautiful carriage ride.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis looked great when they arrived at Trooping the Color with mother Kate Middleton and stepmother Camilla Parker Bowles on Thursday.
The little ones rode in a carriage with the Duchess of Cambridge, 40, and the Duchess of Cornwall, 74, as Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee celebration began.
The brothers greeted the crowd from their seats. George, 8, smiled in a navy suit with his 7-year-old brother sitting next to him. Charlotte, 4, sat down next to Louis in a blue dress.
Middleton was all smiles at the children, waving a white Alexander McQueen dress and a black hat.
The Duchess previously wore her coat as she attended the Eden Project for the G7 reception in the summer of 2021.
Parker Bowles, meanwhile, wore a striped dress and a blue hat as she sat next to Middleton.

As for Prince William, the 39-year-old Duke of Cambridge arrived in a car in full military uniform.
The Duke and his father, Prince Charles, will receive the Trooping the Color salute for the 96-year-old monarch, marking a change in royal tradition.
“We’re looking forward to celebrating and seeing you join us in marking this weekend #PlatinumJubilee,” she read a tweet from her real Twitter account and Kate’s before the event.
The queen celebrated with a new portrait, published on Wednesday.
“Her Majesty the Queen, the first monarch in British history to celebrate a platinum jubilee,” reads a statement, referring to the matriarch’s 70 years of service.
“To mark the start of the #PlatinumJubilee celebration weekend, a new portrait of the queen has been released,” the statement continued.
In the photograph, taken by Ranald Mackechnie in the Victoria Portal of Windsor Castle, the queen smiled in a pale blue coat.
William, Middleton and their three children will join the sovereign on the balcony to watch the parade along with other working members of the royal family.
Although Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in England, they will be watching the procession from a different location as they relinquished all royal functions in February 2021.
