She came out of Buckingham Palace in a carriage, sitting next to her husband, Prince Harry, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Wearing a blue hat, the Duchess of Susbad greeted thousands of people who had gathered along the Mall in London to attend the show which involved more than 200 horses, 400 musicians and 1,400 officers.

The monarch is technically the leader of the British armed forces and would traditionally lead an army into war. The parade, which gives the Queen a chance to revisit her army, travels from Buckingham Palace to the mall via the Horse Guard's Parade.

When the queen was younger, she rode on horseback to greet the public. But in recent years, she travels on horseback and in a carriage.

This year, the Queen was resplendent with cream as she traveled from Buckingham Palace to the Parade of Horse Guard's Parade in a carriage.

She was followed by Charles, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, the Duke of Cambridge, and his daughter, the Princess Royal, who were all on horseback.

The Queen inspects the troops at the Parade of the Horse Guards before returning to Buckingham Palace at the head of her guards. Once at the palace, the entire royal family will gather on the balcony to watch the colorful parade of the Royal Air Force.

More than 200 horses, 400 musicians and 1,400 officers participate in the parade.

The event is also marked by a salvo of 41 guns at Green Park by horse artillery.

The Queen's true birthday is April 21, but official celebrations are always held in June and often for a weekend. The oldest monarch of the nation turned 93 in April.

According to the Royal Family's website, Trooping of the Color has traditionally marked the official birthday of the British ruler for more than 260 years.

A family matter

Although the duchess is still on maternity leave, a royal source told CNN that it was a family moment where many members of the royal family would be present.

According to the source of the palace, it is a case separate from the official duties of the Duchess to participate in an official visit.
