Footage of Kate Middleton’s response to getting booed at the 2026 Trooping the Colour ceremony is going viral.

It is one of the most visible royal events of the year, drawing thousands to central London and millions watching worldwide.
Kate Middleton appears furious after getting booed at ‘Trooping the Colour’ event
Kate Middleton appeared visibly tense as she faced boos during the 2026 Trooping the Colour ceremony.
The Princess of Wales joined King Charles’ official birthday celebrations in London on Saturday, June 13. The 44-year-old took a key position on the royal dais at Horse Guards Parade, sitting next to the monarch and Queen Consort, per Daily Express.
Royal commentators interpreted her seat next to King Charles during the military parade as a clear sign of family unity. They also viewed it as evidence of her strengthening, central position within the modern monarchy. Yet as the Princess made her way from the event to Buckingham Palace in a carriage with George, 12, Charlotte, 11, and Louis, 8, sections of the crowd responded with boos.
Voices from the crowd rang out with boos and chants of “Not my King!” as the royal procession passed by. The jeering was loud enough for George, Charlotte, and Louis to hear, and their smiles quickly faded.
Despite the disruption, the family remained composed, smiling and waving to supporters who lined the route waving flags. Middleton kept her poise throughout, though her expression tightened as the boos echoed from the crowd.
Princess Kate and her children arrived at the Trooping of Colour ceremony in matching ensembles, offering a subtle tribute to Princess Diana. The Princess of Wales chose a custom baby-blue coat dress with crisp white trim by Catherine Walker.
She finished the look with a wide-brimmed Phillip Treacy hat, Cassandra Goad pearl floral earrings, and Diana’s signature pearl bracelet. Charlotte echoed her mother in a white dress with subtle blue embroidery and a matching hair bow. Meanwhile, George and Louis wore blue ties to tie the family look together.
