Prince William & Kate Middleton's 'Trooping the Colour' Royal Weekend

Posted Saturday June 16, 2012 9:16 AM GMT

In what's been quite the busy week in the public eye, Kate Middleton was back out for another celebration of Queen Elizabeth II in London, England on Saturday (June 16).

The Duchess of Cambridge looked fashionably fabulous in a silver-grey Erdem dress paired with a matching Jane Corbett hat as she joined husband, Prince William, as well as Prince Charles, Prince Edward, Princess Anne, Prince Philip, Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence and Lady Louise Windsor, on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for the Trooping the Colour festivities.

Kate also enjoyed time alongside Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Harry, as the trio hopped into a horse-drawn carriage while being among the many embarking on the Queen's Birthday Parade.

The ceremony of Trooping the Colour is believed to have first been performed during the reign of King Charles II. In 1748, it was decided that the parade would be used to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign.

More than 600 guardsmen and cavalry make up the parade, a celebration of the Sovereign's official birthday, although the Queen's actual birthday is on April 21st.
