Princess Kate's appearance at Trooping the Colour 2026 has drawn renewed attention to a long-running royal rumour after a brief moment involving Prince George was caught on camera during the ceremony in London on 14 June. The exchange, which appeared to show the young royal reacting after he sneezed, prompted fresh online discussion about a years-old theory regarding Kate Middleton and horses.
It should be noted that a palace spokesperson has previously denied the rumour. A Kensington Palace representative told E! News in 2011 that the horse allergy theory was not true, and no official confirmation of any such condition has been issued since.
