— The Telegraph (@Telegraph) June 13, 2026Thankfully, the future king held it together until the anthem concluded. But once the music stopped, George covered his nose and mouth before finally sneezing, prompting a smile and brief laugh between him and his mother.
“Prince George deserves a medal for this level of self-control,” one X user wrote.
Another said, “Aww bless him, caught without a tissue. He looks as if he might have a touch of hayfever. Princess Catherine straight into mom mode.”
“Prince George fighting a sneeze during the anthem with Kate Middleton had me dying,” a third shared.
While George shared the carriage ride with his mother and siblings earlier in the day, Prince William participated in a different part of the festivities. In his role as Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Prince of Wales rode on horseback during the Trooping the Colour procession while wearing the regiment's ceremonial uniform, complete with a bright red tunic, bearskin hat, Garter sash, and ceremonial sword. Middleton, meanwhile, traveled by carriage alongside the three kids.
