Trooping the Colour Downpour! Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Wipe Away Condensation from Carriage Window

The royal family were struck by heavy rain on arrival at the parade in London on June 15

The royal family is braving the rainy weather at Trooping the Colour!

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte were seen wiping away condensation from the window of her carriage as they attended the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London on Saturday, June 15.

While Kate and her children had shelter from the wet weather, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, did not — appearing to get wet by the rain as she headed to the parade in an open carriage with her daughter Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor.

The Princess of Wales, 42, made her first public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March in an enclosed horse-drawn carriage at the ceremony with her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. 

The rainy weather at Trooping the Colour comes after King Charles' coronation was also hit by rain in May 2023.

During the ceremony, the King and Queen Camilla arrived in the enclosed Gold State Coach, sheltering the monarchs from the rain, as they rode down the Mall past spectators who had gathered in their thousands outside in the wet weather.

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Prince Louis waved from inside a car in the rain as he headed to the ceremony with his family.

Despite the wet weather at the coronation, the traditional flypast held for the King went ahead at the ceremony. The heavy rain at this year’s Trooping the Colour put the air spectacle over Buckingham Palace in jeopardy, but it went off without a hitch.
