King Charles and Queen Camilla were also present for the commemorations marking the end of the Second World War in Europe.

Charlotte, who recently turned 10, opted to rewear her blue and green coat from last year’s Christmas morning service at Sandringham.

Like Catherine, who repurposed an Emilia Wickstead coat for the occasion, Charlotte also recreated a previous look for the VE Day festivities.

The royals observed a military procession from a specially built dais on the Queen Victoria Memorial outside the palace.

Thousands of people packed the streets as four days of commemorations began.

The Royal Family watched the military display marking the historic anniversary from their vantage point.

The special platform provided an excellent view of the proceedings for the assembled royals.

Prince William shook the hand of Bernard Morgan, Ambassador of the Royal British Legion, as he took his seat, with his children following his example.

The Princess of Wales was the last to greet the serviceman and sat beside him.

Morgan appeared to show Catherine some photographs, which Princess Charlotte sweetly looked over with Prince George.

Prince Louis, meanwhile, remained engrossed in the parade.

Charlotte’s appearance at the VE Day celebrations came just days after her 10th birthday.

The Royal Family marked the occasion with a stunning portrait captured by her mother, the Princess of Wales.

The image was released as part of the traditional birthday celebrations for the young princess.
