Prince George fought off a sneeze during the national anthem at the 2026 Trooping the Colour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0video posted to X<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0the Telegraph, the 12-year-old seemingly suppressed a sneeze as the royal family stood at attention on the balcony of Buckingham Palace while watching the Royal Air Force\u2019s flypast.<\/p>\n

As the song finished, Prince George put his hands over his nose and mouth and sneezed, taking a moment to laugh about the incident with his mom, Kate Middleton. <\/p>\n

The Princess of Wales sweetly put her hand on her eldest child\u2019s back as she, George, Prince William, 43, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, waved goodbye to the crowd and exited the balcony. <\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Middleton, 44, let out a sneeze herself at Horse Guards Parade.<\/p>\n

Despite George\u2019s small moment, it was his younger brother, Prince Louis, who once again stole the show<\/a> at this year\u2019s festivities. <\/p>\n

The youngest royal made a series of animated faces while standing next to his family, including King Charles, 77, and\u00a0Queen Camilla, 78.<\/p>\n

One photo saw the 8-year-old making a shocked face as he looked into the sea of spectators. <\/p>\n

Prince Louis is known for his silly antics, as last year he continued to wave at the crowd far after his family members lowered their own hands, promoting George to tell him to \u201cstop\u201d \u2014 as seen on X.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2024, Louis showed off his dance moves and he circled his hips around to the band\u2019s music.<\/p>\n

This year, the Princess of Wales sported a powder blue Catherine Walker coat dress that resembled the one her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, wore to Prince William\u2019s first Easter service in 1987 (as pictured here). Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images<\/p>\n

More than 1,400 soldiers, horses and musicians gather on Horse Guards Parade in London to celebrate their leader. <\/p>\n

This year, Middleton paid tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana<\/a>, by sporting a powder blue Catherine Walker coat dress.<\/p>\n

The look was very similar to a Catherine Walker outfit worn by Princess Diana \u2014 who died at age 36 in 1997 \u2014 during her son Prince William\u2019s first Easter service in 1987.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince George fought off a sneeze during the national anthem at the 2026 Trooping the Colour.
