Princess Charlotte attended the 2024 Trooping the Colour parade held in London today. Charlotte rode in a carriage with her father Prince William, mother Kate Middleton and brothers Prince George and Prince Louis.

The young princess wore a pair of dolly-like Mary Janes in white. The girly style featured short block heels, elongated toes and thick and sturdy straps threaded through adjustable buckle closures. Charlotte can often be found sporting this preppy silhouette. At last year’s Trooping the Colour parade, the young princess also wore white Mary Janes from Papouelli. It’s likely she wore the same “Siena” dress shoes this time around, given their similarity.
