Prince William was every inch the doting dad on Saturday whilst appearing on the balcony at the first Trooping the Colour since King Charles was reigning monarch.
The sweet moment, which you can see in the video below, saw the Prince of Wales cuddle his daughter, Princess Charlotte, from behind whilst they joined their fellow royal family members for an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Charlotte looked adorable for the historic moment, wearing a beautiful traditional white dress with a Peter Pan collar featuring red embroidery and cherry red bow. Charlotte's immaculate vintage-style dress was paired with her trademark hairstyle, her golden tresses pulled back into a chic chignon.
The little Princess matched with her adoring father who was dressed in his military uniform. Meanwhile, Prince George and Prince Louis also kept within the scarlett colour theme and twinned in matching red ties. Princess Kate dazzled royal fans in a spellbinding green gown by Andrew Gn, in a nod to her role as Colonel of the Irish Guards and completed the emerald ensemble with a wide-brim hat by Philip Treacy.

Queen Camilla wore a ravishing military-inspired ensemble - a red silk coat dress that takes inspiration from the uniform of the Grenadier Guards, complete with a black headpiece and feather, a nod to the bearskins that the regiment wear.

Charles had deputised for Queen Elizabeth II at last year's event, also known as the Birthday Parade, but on Saturday, rode onto Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall as the nation’s head of state.

The King was joined by joined on horseback by the royal colonels – the Prince of Wales, Colonel, Welsh Guards; the Princess Royal, Gold Stick in Waiting and Colonel of The Blues and Royals; and the Duke of Edinburgh, riding for the first time in his role as Colonel of the 1st Battalion London Guards, formed last year.
