Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis Set to Make Their First Summer 2025 Appearance
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. June is here, and that means an action-packed season of royal events ahead. From parades and military flypasts to horse racing, Wimbledon and garden parties, the Royal Family will be keeping plenty busy this summer. And following their adorable appearance at an 80th anniversary VE Day parade last month, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are gearing up for their biggest public event of the season. On Saturday, June 14, members of the Royal Family will gather for The King's annual birthday parade, Trooping the Colour—the most high-profile appearance for the Wales children each year. George, 11, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7, made their Trooping debut during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, and each year have joined their mom, Princess Kate, for a carriage ride through the streets of London. The trio then gathers with Prince William, Princess Kate, King Charles, Queen Camilla and other family members for a balcony appearance, where they watch an exciting display of military aircraft flying over Buckingham Palace. Prince Louis has been known for his cheeky antics on the balcony each year, and in 2024, he also showed the crowd his dance moves. Last year, Trooping the Colour marked the Princess of Wales's first public appearance of 2024 as she recovered from cancer. Dressed in coordinating navy and white outfits, the family gathered with King Charles, Queen Camilla, Duchess Sophie, Prince Edward, Lady Louise, Princess Anne and other extended family members for the first time in public since Christmas 2023. In May, the Wales children attended a very different parade and flypast as they marked the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. Although the trio didn't join their parents for the other VE Day events, Prince George did get to make a special solo visit with Prince William and Princess Kate to meet veterans at a palace tea party—and get a taste of his life as the future King. Along with Trooping—and maybe a trip to Wimbledon—the Wales kids will enjoy summer out of the spotlight during their annual vacation to Balmoral. And now that there are new puppies in their household, plenty of walks at their country house, Anmer Hall, are most likely high on their summer schedule.

Prince William Says Family Can Be a "Mixed Bag" Amid Rift With Prince Harry
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Before he stepped down as a senior working royal, insiders thought Prince Harry—who trained as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009—would become the future colonel-in-chief of his former regiment. Instead, the role was given to Prince William by The King, and on June 4, the Prince of Wales made his first official visit to the regiment in Wattisham, Suffolk. During one conversation, Prince William appeared to make a rare reference to his family life amid his estrangement from brother Prince Harry. Per the Daily Mail, Prince William asked a group of soldiers, "Is the pace of life good at the moment?" After one told him it was "a mixed bag," the Prince of Wales replied, "Families okay? See you enough? Some of them might not want to see you that much. It's a mixed bag sometimes." The last time the brothers were publicly seen interacting was during a joint walkabout with Meghan Markle and Princess Kate after Queen Elizabeth died in 2022. Prince Harry's military appointments were taken away when he stepped away from royal life, making it impossible for him to be made colonel-in-chief of his former regiment. King Charles—who served in the role for more than 30 years—officially passed the title down to Prince William in May 2024. Prince William worked as a helicopter pilot for the RAF search and rescue team and East Anglian Air Ambulance before he become a senior working royal, and he wasted no time taking a wildcat helicopter up for a spin during his visit. The prince chatted about helicopters with some of the soldiers' children, like 6-year-old Archie Foster and his 8-year-old sister, Ida. "Which do you like the most?" William asked. "The apache? You like the apache? Your dad does a very important job here." As for Ida, she deemed her encounter with the future King, "amazing." "I loved it. This is going to be the best thing of my whole entire life," she said. "I'm going to write it in a book."

A Surprising "Royal Power Duo" Has Emerged as Prince William Displays "Growing Bond" With Unexpected Relative in Rare Joint Engagement
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Following reports that Prince William has "big plans" for two young royals, the Prince of Wales has found himself at the center of a "new royal power duo." However, some are calling William's "rare joint engagement" somewhat surprising, especially as it involves an unexpected royal relative. On June 6, Prince William attended the Royal Cornwall Show with his aunt, Duchess Sophie, who is married to Prince Edward. Hello! magazine suggested there was a "growing royal bond on display during the rare team-up." The outlet also noted, "It marked a rare moment of public collaboration between the two working royals." While visiting the event, William and Sophie sampled some local alcohol, with varying results. "We've come from the chutneys straight into booze," William joked, via Hello! magazine. "I can see what today's going to be like." The Prince of Wales also remarked, via the BBC, "I've been caught out with whiskey a few times—I think I can do it, then it catches you out." Duchess Sophie is the royal patron of the Association of Agricultural Show Organizations and vice president of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association, meaning her appearance at the event alongside William made a lot of sense. Discussing the duo's "rare joint engagement," the Express wrote, "William and Sophie were treated to an air display by parachutists and welcomed by hundreds of cheering well-wishers as they attended the annual event to celebrate the very best of Cornish heritage and tradition through agriculture, food, and drink." Royal fans seemed to be delighted that Sophie had joined William for the important event. "The Duchess is an absolute asset to the Royal Family—so graceful and elegant," one commenter wrote on social media, via GB News. According to the outlet, another fan shared the sentiment, writing, "Great to see the Prince of Wales with his aunt. I think that they have so much fun together."
