It's a big day for the British royal family—it's officially Trooping the Colour 2025. In honor of King Charles’s official birthday celebration (not to be confused with his actual birthday which is in November), the royal family made their way down the mall from Buckingham Palace. Kate Middleton wowed in electric blue, Princess Charlotte turned heads with her jewelry, Prince Louis looked like his older brother and the royal family's body language was on full display.

As part of the celebrations, Kensington Palace shared a number of posts on the Wales family Instagram account. In one particular slideshow, Prince William can be seen donning his full uniform and walking in slow-motion (in the second slide of the post below).

Kensington Palace captioned the post, "All ready for Trooping the Colour!" The video in question shows Will exiting a door by himself and mounting a horse. It then shows Princess Catherine, Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Prince Louis riding in a carriage.

Catherine donned a coat dress by Catherine Walker—called the ‘Bria’—in a bright and eye-catching electric blue hue. Her daughter, Charlotte, appears to have color coordinated with mom, wearing a more delicate blue.

Both Wales parents could be seen talking and laughing and engaging with all three kids on the balcony for the iconic family picture. They were joined by King Charles, Queen Camilla, Duchess Sophie, Princess Anne and a slew of others.

Things were capped off with a gorgeous new photo of the Waleses.

Here's to more striking videos and photos from the big event!
