The Royal family assembled in London today for the Trooping of the Colour ceremony - to mark the Queen's official birthday.

The Queen, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry were all in Royal finery, but it was Prince George who stole the show.


Queen Elizabeth turned 89 this year. The Queen's actual birthday is on April 21.

UK media cited the George’s baby-blue outfit as being a deliberate throwback to Prince William's own outfit when he first appeared on the balcony, held by Prince Charles, 31 years ago.
