Good morning, and welcome to our live coverage of Trooping the Colour, also known as the King’s Birthday Parade. I will be live-posting for a few hours, and then writing the day’s post. The newest content will be at the top of this post.
10 AM: This last patch of photos will wrap up our lie coverage, so I can start working on today’s blog post.
The Wales family, the King, Queen, and Duchess of Edinburgh.

7:03AM: The Princess is wearing her Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Pearl Diamond Earrings ($6061), shown here as worn on a previous occasion. The earrings are done in “18ct yellow gold with pearl and diamonds… inspired by the Sicilian markets, which are full of the most beautifully ripe fruit and vegetables that overflow copiously from their baskets.”The Princess is carrying her Mulberry Clutch in black suede, a staple in her accessory collection. (This photo shows the style in leather, not the suede the Princess carries.)
6:50AM This appears to be the same dress worn to the pre-coronation luncheon at Buckingham Palace last year. The belt has been updated with a stripe and there is a tie at the neckline.
Thank you to Gabi for the heads-up on this!
6:42 AM: The Princess exits the carriage at Horse Guards Parade.
6:10AM: Here is our first photo of the Princess of Wales.
The Princess is wearing a Jenny Packham dress with a Philip Treacy hat. She is also wearing the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch as Colonel of the Irish Guards.
Here you see the Wales children arriving at Horse Guards Parade.
