Every Royal Who Appeared on the Buckingham Palace Balcony at Trooping the Colour — Including Kate Middleton!

King Charles' birthday parade ended with a Trooping the Colour highlight: the royal family's Buckingham Palace balcony appearance!

Members of the royal family gathered on June 15 for the official celebrations of the monarch's birthday. After the procession through London, the 75-year-old King took the royal salute and inspected the troops at Horse Guard's Parade before returning to Buckingham Palace to watch a flypast performed by the Royal Air Force.

Joining King Charles for the biggest photo op of the day on the palace's balcony was his wife, Queen Camilla.

The monarch's eldest son and heir, Prince William, also stood on the balcony after riding on horseback in the procession joined by his children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

In a significant moment, Kate Middleton also stepped out onto the palace balcony in her first royal outing since revealing her cancer diagnosis. The Princess of Wales' attendance at Trooping the Colour was confirmed the day prior as she released a new photo and personal letter featuring an update on her health: "I'm looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet."

Princess Kate, 42, said in her June 14 message that she is "starting to do a little work from home" and expressed her "hope to join a few public engagements over the summer." However, her Trooping the Colour appearance does not signal a full return to her royal duties. Any upcoming outings will depend on when she feels able and under the guidance of her medical team.

Other royals on the balcony included Prince Edward and Sophie (the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh) with their daughter, Lady Louise. However, their son, James, Earl of Wessex, did not join the festivities. Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, also stepped out with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester as well as the Duke of Kent.

Although extended members of the royal family have squeezed onto the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour in years past, there was a change made in 2022 by Queen Elizabeth when only senior working members of the royal family and some of their children. That meant that Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Prince Andrew and other non-working members of the royal family did not join Queen Elizabeth for the appearance. Instead, other family members watched the 2022 festivities from the Major General's Office, which overlooks the parade grounds.
