PHOTOS: Prince George Steals the Spotlight at Trooping the Colour Parade

It may have been a birthday celebration for the Queen, but it’s the future king who stole the show. On Saturday, June 13th, Kensington Palace announced via Twitter that Prince George made his first appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace wearing the same outfit that his father, Prince William, once wore at Queen Elizabeth’s birthday parade in 1984.

The parade was also Kate Middleton’s first appearance in public since leaving the hospital with newborn Princess Charlotte just six weeks ago.
