As reported by Cosmopolitan, members of the Royal family arrived by carriage, except for Prince William who arrived by horseback.

He was dressed in a regal outfit for the day, and as a Royal Colonel of the Household Division, it is a tradition for him to arrive on horseback.

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan had recently returned from their honeymoon, and this event marks Meghan's first Trouping the Colour Parade.

She wore a pale pink Caroline Herrera off-the-shoulder creation. Princess Beatrice also arrived in pink and chose a The Fold dress for the event.

The Trouping the Colour parade dates back to the 17th century. Since the late 1740's, the event also marked the official birthday of the ruling British Sovereign.

In modern times, the annual event is also known as the Queen's Birthday Parade, even though her birth date is April. For more details, please follow our Twitter Account, AmoMama USA.
