Princess Charlotte pays heartfelt tribute to great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth

Princess Charlotte stood out at this year’s Trooping the Colour parade, donning an aqua blue dress, coordinating with her mother Kate Middleton.

Her elegant dress was further graced with a historic diamond horseshoe brooch, which gave a sentimental touch as it held deep royal significance.

As she participated in the traditional military parade celebrating the monarch's official birthday, her special accessory drew attention from observers as it was the same brooch gifted by the young royal’s late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, which she also wore to the monarch’s funeral in September 2022.

The historic accessory was previously owned by the Queen back in 1929, dating back almost 100 years ago and the young royal’s choice to wear the cherished piece served as a heartfelt tribute to her great-grandmother, honouring her memory.

The 10-year-old Princess accompanied her mother with her two brothers, 11-year-old Prince George and seven year old Prince Louis, riding in a horse-drawn carriage down The Mall in London, after arriving at Buckingham Palace via car.

The Trooping the Colour marked Charlotte’s second time in the public eye in 2025, the first being VE Day 80th anniversary parade in May.
