The two sons ofPrince WilliamandKate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, appeared in a carriage during Saturday’s festivities in a pair of matching red ties, as the duo sat beside their sisterPrincess Charlotte, who also sported a hint of red in her white dress.
In photos from the annual celebration marking the military’s tribute to the monarch, the trio can be seen riding in a horse-drawn carriage from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade as part of the big day in London — all sporting a splash of red.
While Prince George, 9, and Prince Louis, 5, wore the red around their necks along with their respective suits, Princess Charlotte, 8, sported the color as part of a mainly white sailor dress.

This wasn’t Prince Louis' first time wearing a tie, as the youngest of the three royals wore his first tie with a blazer out during hisEaster debutwith the royal family for their annual holiday churchouting in April.
“This was the first time we saw his little brother Louis wear a blazer and tie in public, and the fact that the Princess of Wales chose sky blue rather than navy made the outfit more fun and age-appropriate,” Riley told PEOPLE at the time. “He also matched perfectly with his mother and sister, something which he can still do as the youngest sibling.”

As for this weekend’s festivities, Prince Louis joined his two older siblings — and sat in the middle of them — during the carriage ride for his grandfather’s first official birthday parade. The trio showed off their royal waves as they greeted thousands of well-wishers lining the grand, tree-lined and flag-bedecked Mall.
The red color coordination was a nod to William and Kate’s new roles as the Prince and Princess of Wales. Kate wore green, and together the family represented the colors of the Welsh flag.
