Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis Join Duchess of Cambridge and Camilla in Trooping the Colour Carriage

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations kicked off with a bang as thousands of spectators cheered on the royal family during the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony.

The event saw Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis join their mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Camilla in a carriage for the first time.

The three young royals waved to the crowds as they passed by in the carriage, adding to the excitement of the jubilee celebrations.

The children sat side by side in the carriage, with George looking smart in a suit, Charlotte donning a beautiful cornflower blue dress, and Louis wearing a sailor's outfit that mirrored what his father, Prince William, wore at the same event in 1985.

The kids beamed with excitement as they waved to the crowds, while proud parent Kate looked elegant in a white McQueen outfit and Philip Tracy hat, and the Duchess of Cornwall looked stunning in her attire.

At one point during the parade, Charlotte appeared to push Louis' hand down as his waving became a bit too enthusiastic.

However, the young prince continued to enjoy the festivities, pointing out towards the ceremony as he peered out of the central window at Horseguards Parade.

While the children enjoyed their ride in the carriage, Prince William did not join them.

Instead, he rode on horseback alongside Prince Charles and Princess Anne in the parade from Buckingham Palace to Horseguards Parade.

Other royals, including the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children Lady Louise Windsor and Viscount Severn, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence, also arrived at Horseguards Parade in a horse-drawn carriage.

After arriving at Horseguards, the children were seen bowing their heads as they passed by the colour.
