The British royal family gathered in London on June 14 for King Charles<\/a>‘ birthday parade, culminating with an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch an aerial flypast. Princess Kate, 43, and\u00a0Prince William<\/a>, 42, stood with their children \u2014\u00a0Prince George<\/a>, 11,\u00a0Princess Charlotte<\/a>, 10, and\u00a0Prince Louis<\/a>, 7 \u2014\u00a0who knew exactly what to do when “God Save the King” played.\n<\/p>\n

Just before the music started, the Princess of Wales appeared to lean down slightly and tell her kids, “National anthem.” George, Charlotte and Louis instantly stood up straight with their hands at their sides, standing at attention for the duration of the song.\n<\/p>\n

Before heading inside, the family of five waved to the crowd, with Prince Louis turning around at the last second and getting in the final goodbye<\/a>!\n<\/p>\n

In addition to Kate’s quick reminder to her children, Prince George made sure to keep Prince Louis from getting too rambunctious on the palace balcony. George, who is second in the line of succession to the throne, was spotted telling his little brother to “stop” waving<\/a> when he realized no one else was doing so.\n<\/p>\n

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are now pros at Trooping the Colour, having all attended the annual event since they were babies.\n<\/p>\n

George made his debut at the monarch’s public birthday celebration when he was just under two years old in 2015, appearing in his father’s arms for the public moment. The following year, Princess Charlotte joined her parents and older brother for the first time.\n<\/p>\n

Prince Louis made his Trooping the Colour balcony debut in 2019, immediately displaying his cheerful personality by “waving” at the crowd and marveling at the airplanes taking flight overhead.\n<\/p>\n
