Earlier today the crowds braved the rain as the Royals walked out at Buckingham Palace during Trooping the Colour in Kate’s first public appearance since Christmas.
The day had been plagued by rain but downpours couldn’t dampen Kate’s shine today as she beamed alongside her kids.
Fans watched on in awe as the Princess joked and laughed with Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis.
