Buckingham Palace has shared fresh details into this year’s Trooping the Color celebrations.
Among the standout images is a warm, candid moment featuring Princess Anne, seen sharing a laugh while riding.
For the occasion, the Princess Royal wears the Full Mounted Ceremonial uniform of the Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons), complete with the Garter Star and Sash, the Thistle Star, GCVO insignia, full-sized medals with CMM neck decoration, and aiguillettes as a Personal Aide-de-Camp to her brother, King Charles.
She also carried the Gold Stick as Gold Stick-in-Waiting, an honorary role within the Sovereign’s personal bodyguard, along with the Blues and Royals sword.
Her participation on horseback remains a defining feature of her public duty.
Buckingham Palace noted that prior to the 1990s she would travel by carriage and did not wear full military uniform for the occasion.
This year, she once again joined the procession riding a horse named ‘Noble’ alongside Prince Edward and Prince William.
The horse itself carries its own royal history having previously been ridden by King Charles at Trooping the Color in 2023.
Elsewhere in the procession, her husband Sir Timothy Laurence rode in a carriage alongside Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, adding to the family’s visible presence across different parts of the ceremonial parade.
Another photograph captured a sweet exchange between Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester during rehearsals and preparations behind the grandeur of the parade.
