“I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!” Princess Charlotte, 10, Stuns in Teal and Diamonds at Trooping the Colour 2025 — The Hidden Meaning Behind Her Look Will Leave You Speechless
Princess Charlotte, just 10 years old, stole the spotlight at the 2025 Trooping the Colour celebration in London, dazzling onlookers in a light teal dress paired with a sparkling diamond horseshoe brooch — a treasured heirloom with a powerful family legacy.
The brooch, gifted to Charlotte by her late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, holds deep sentimental value. First belonging to the Queen Mother, it was passed down through the generations, symbolizing the family’s enduring love for equestrian tradition. Charlotte previously wore the brooch during the Queen’s state funeral in 2022, marking this latest appearance as a poignant tribute.
In a charming mother-daughter style moment, Charlotte subtly mirrored the Princess of Wales, who wore an elegant blue coat dress by Catherine Walker and a striking hat by Juliette Botterill. Kate paid her own homage to the late monarch with the Irish Guards regimental brooch and Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings — originally a wedding gift to Queen Elizabeth II in 1947.
This year’s Trooping the Colour, celebrating King Charles III’s official birthday, was steeped in tradition and emotional resonance. Though undergoing cancer treatment, the King made a dignified appearance in a carriage, greeting crowds with warmth and grace.
Conspicuously absent from the festivities were Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew with his daughters — a clear reflection of King Charles’ commitment to a more streamlined royal family.
More than 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses, and hundreds of musicians brought the historic spectacle to life, culminating in a breathtaking RAF Red Arrows flypast and the iconic balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace.
But it was young Princess Charlotte — with her sparkling brooch, graceful presence, and quiet tribute to the women before her — who reminded the world that the next generation of royals is already shining bright.
