Time to bring back my favourite Trooping the Colour footage from 1949. Then Princess Elizabeth, on her horse Tommy, is coming closer to Prince Philip who’s behind the camera and it’s like you get to see a glimpse of the real Lilibet .

Although the media did not receive confirmation from Kensington Palace, GB News decided Trooping the Colour is Catherine's RETURN to public duties. 🤦♂️
Great Comment to GB News: "so will you all shut up now?" 👏

Princess of Wales to review Trooping the Colour before main event in June, Army says
Despite the announcement by the Army, Kensington Palace has yet to confirm Kate's attendance at the military spectacle.
Only Kensington Palace, Kate's official office, can announce her attendance at a royal event and confirmation is not expected until nearer the time.
Kate is scheduled to take part in the formal review – known as the Colonel's Review – on 8 June, a week before the main Trooping the Colour, inspecting soldiers of the Household Division in her role as Colonel of the Irish Guards.
The Princess of Wales will review the Trooping the Colour in June, according to the Army's official website, making this her first official duty to be announced since she underwent abdominal surgery in mid-January,
The Army's website says the King will be attending the main Trooping ceremony – also known as the Birthday Parade, as it marks the sovereign's official anniversary – with bookings now being taken for a ballot for tickets.
King Charles is receiving treatment for cancer and Kate is recovering from abdominal surgery, but it is understood planning for major royal events continues, with organisers remaining flexible in the event of possible changes.
Kate officially became Colonel of the Irish Guards, a role previously held by her husband the Prince of Wales, last year.
In January, it was announced the Princess of Wales would miss this year's St Patrick's Day military parades in March as she continued her recovery from surgery.
The Trooping the Colour to be reviewed by the Princess of Wales is identical to the Trooping the Colour reviewed by the King, apart from the fact that some additional mounted officers will take part when the King is present.
According to the Army, more than 1,400 soldiers of the Household Division and The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery will be taking part, including 400 musicians from the Massed Bands, with all of them parading on Horse Guards for the second of two formal reviews.
The event will also include 250 soldiers from the Foot Guards who will line the processional route along The Mall.
Members of the public can watch from the stands on Horse Guards Parade by applying for tickets.
