View Deal<\/a><\/p>\nGeorge joined his siblings, Charlotte and Louis, in the Ascot Landau carriage, riding with their mother, and happily waving away at the well-wishers lined up and down The Mall.<\/p>\n
But after reaching the palace and appearing on the balcony for the RAF flypast, George was caught trying to suppress a sneeze, leading to some very amusing – and relatable – facial expressions. When it got the better of him, he looked to his mother with a grin as the pair chuckled away.<\/p>\n

Princess Catherine and her three children all matched for the big occasion, with shades of baby blue represented in each of their outfits. As Colonel of the Irish Guards, the Princess of Wales paired a baby blue outfit by Catherine Walker with a hat by Philip Treacy and the Irish Guards brooch.<\/p>\n
George and Louis\u2019s ties perfectly matched their mum\u2019s stunning coat – itself evocative of an outfit the late Princess Diana wore back in 1987 – and Princess Charlotte\u2019s beautiful white gown – reportedly designed by Alessandra Rich – had subtle pops of powder blue embroidery.<\/p>\n
Charlotte also matched her mum with both of them wearing a three-strand pearl bracelet. Pearls were, of course, also a favourite accessory of Charlotte\u2019s late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

The Princess of Wales was also caught sneezing during the ceremony, which might be a result of her reported allergy to horses.<\/p>\n
Back in 2011, Clarisa Ru, wife of Santa Barbara Polo Club president Wesley Ru, told People (per HELLO) “[Kate] said she\u2019s been riding horses for a while and she hopes to play polo one day. She said, ‘I’m actually allergic to them, but the more time one spends with them the less allergic you become.'”<\/p>\n
Along with the Wales family, Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward were there to celebrate the annual parade, joining Prince Richard and Birgitte, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent, the first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth and the current oldest living member of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n
Celebrating the monarch\u2019s official birthday in June has been a tradition since 1748, and it became an annual tradition after 1760, during the reign of George III. King Charles\u2019s actual birthday is actually November 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
