Over the last few days, the royals have attended Elizabeth’s Trooping the Colour ceremony on Saturday and an outdoor birthday party on Sunday. The next day they attended the Order of the Garter Service at Windsor Castle, which honors knights.
Kate stood out at the event in a cherry red dress, coat, and hat after sporting a cream getup for the Trooping the Colour. Sadly her two adorable children, George and Charlotte, were not in attendance at Monday’s festivities despite making a precious cameo over the weekend.
