Hilarious pics show Louis and George laughing in carriage as young royals join jubilant Trooping the Colour celebrations
THIS is the sweet moment Prince George and Louis appeared to share a laugh during the Trooping the Colour parade.
George, 11, and his younger brother Louis, seven, were spotted chuckling as they made their way back to Buckingham Palace.



George was forced to cover his face and stifle a laugh as the brothers travelled past jubilant crowds in a horse-drawn carriage.
Mischievous Prince Louis, who often entertains royal fans with his antics, was much more obvious with his laughter.
It comes after a lip reader revealed to The Sun the sweet question Louis asked his older brother as the royals arrived today.
The two brothers were seen grinning and locked in conversation as the open carriage rolled along the Mall on a glorious sunny morning.
The expert claims Louis asked George: “Should I wave?”
George then turned to his younger brother and is said to have replied: “It’s up to you, I can’t believe how sunny it is.”
They were joined in the carriage by mum Kate and Princess Charlotte, 10, who stunned as they wore matching blue and white outfits, peering out at the eager crowds.
Prince William saluted while on horseback, alongside Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Wills wore the Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards.
Over 1,400 officers and soldiers, 400 musicians, 200 horses and 10 bands are taking part in the event.
Hundreds of royal fans dressed head to toe in Union Jacks and crowns braved the early morning rain to queue for a good spot.
King Charles and Queen Camilla waved to fans as they left Buckingham Palace in the back of a horse-drawn carriage.
On a jubilant day of celebration:
- Prince William looks unrecognisable in a bearskin hat during the ceremony
- Lip reader reveals the sweet question Louis asked his older brother George
- Princess Kate and Charlotte match in teal as they travel to the parade
- Why royals are wearing black armbands at the event
This year marks Charles’ third Trooping the Colour parade as monarch.
The King requested that members of the Royal Family sported black armbands at the Trooping the Colour parade.
He asked royals to wear the armbands in remembrance of those killed in the Air India plane crash on Thursday.
Both King Charles and Prince William were spotted wearing a black armband as they made their way down The Mall.
Those at the parade also held a minute’s silence following the devastating crash.
At least 241 people are understood to have died in the shocking tragedy in Ahmedabad, India.
Those wearing the bands are the Prince of Wales, Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Princess Royal, Colonel Blues and Royals, and the Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel Scots Guards.
The parade today takes place almost five months before the King’s actual birthday.
Charles was born on November 14, though the reigning British monarch has two birthdays.
Coldstream Guards are dressed in full military regalia, alongside a huge number of supporting staff.
It is the first time the Coldstream Guards have trooped their colour in front of the King.
The honour rotates between five regiments of the Foot Guards.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer posted on X this morning: “Sending my best wishes to His Majesty The King today at Trooping the Colour.
“God Save The King.”



Florian Wirtz will be the ninth German to play for Liverpool – how others fared including flop who lasted just two games
LIVERPOOL’S rebirth was made in Germany through the inspirational figure of Jurgen Klopp.
Now the Reds want his countryman Florian Wirtz to help current boss Arne Slot build a dynasty.




You could argue that no one of any nationality has made such an impact at Anfield as Klopp since legendary boss Bill Shankly.
Although German players have enjoyed success at Liverpool before, none has arrived with the same expectation and excitement that will greet Wirtz, 22, when he completes his initial £100million move.
Without the reign of Klopp, the club he left last year would almost certainly not have been in a position to buy one of the best young players in the world.
Slot admits a decent amount of credit for his wonderful debut season must go to his genial predecessor.
Before Klopp could turn Liverpool into winners of the biggest prizes again, he had to change the club’s culture.
Zeitgeist is the German word that usually refers to the spirit and philosophy of a particular historical era.
In Klopp’s case, he combined his homeland’s trend for gegenpressing, high-energy, attacking football with his unique gifts as a man-manager to transform the Reds.
When he left Anfield last summer after nearly nine years in charge, he had led Liverpool to English, European and world titles, plus three domestic cups.
The club’s transfer spending and strategy this summer, after Slot delivered championship No 20, are designed to deliver even more silverware across the next decade.
And Wirtz, who is yet to reach his prime, is the man they hope will play a big part in fulfilling that ambition.
Although Liverpool fans will find it hard to keep a lid on it, the older ones will know not to get too carried away.
The first big German star to come to Anfield was Karl Heinz-Riedle, fresh from scoring twice as Borussia Dortmund beat Juventus 3-1 in the 1997 Champions League final.
But the emergence of Michael Owen restricted the striker’s appearances and he left after two seasons.
Sean Dundee, an even less-heralded centre-forward, came and went before Dietmar Hamann became the first big German success story at Liverpool.
With countrymen Markus Babbel and Christian Ziege, Hamann was part of an extraordinary year under Gerard Houllier in 2001.
The Reds won both domestic cups and lifted the Uefa Cup after a 5-4 golden goal win over Alaves.
If you count the Community Shield and Uefa Super Cup — and back then Liverpool did — it was five trophies in a calendar year.
But while Ziege and then Babbel moved on after good but not brilliant stays at Anfield, Hamann stuck around.


And boss Rafa Benitez brought the defensive midfielder on at half-time of the 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan, with his side 3-0 down.
Although others stole the headlines, Hamann’s display was crucial in the greatest comeback in the competition’s history.
And like a typical German, he also scored Liverpool’s first penalty in the shootout that sealed victory — all with a broken toe.
The first Bayer Leverkusen wonderkid to join Liverpool arrived in 2012, 13 years before Wirtz.
But injuries played a big part in forward Samed Yesil struggling to make an impact and he left after just two League Cup appearances.
The next Leverkusen prodigy, Emre Can, fared better.
He arrived in 2014, a year and a bit before Klopp, and under his countryman finished a runner-up in the League Cup, Europa League and Champions League.
After the latter heartbreak against Real Madrid, Can went to Juventus on a free and enjoyed success there.
Goalkeeper Loris Karius was the only senior Germany player ever signed by Klopp, but he was never the same after two awful mistakes in that final with Real.
After being poleaxed by Sergio Ramos early in the game, the dazed keeper rolled the ball straight to Karim Benzema to open the scoring.
Sadio Mane equalised, then Gareth Bale produced a worldie overhead kick before Karius let a more saveable Bale strike from distance go through his hands.
Karius finally left Anfield in 2022 after three loan spells.
His two seasons at Newcastle included a Carabao Cup final defeat and he is back in Germany in Bundesliga 2 with Schalke.
Wirtz — whose fee could rise to a British record £116.5m — will be the latest German player to arrive at Anfield dreaming of glory.
But he will have his work cut out to become as loved by Liverpool fans as Klopp.
