Prince Michael of Kent and his wife moved to the city after Trooping the Colour
Prince Michael of Kent and his wife followed Trooping the Color with a late dinner at one of London’s most exclusive members’ clubs.
The pair were spotted leaving the famous Loulou’s club in Mayfair on the night of King Charles’ first Trooping as Monarch.
Princess Michael, 78, looked stylish in an oversized cream outfit, while the King’s cousin looked smart in a striped blazer and tan trousers paired with a pink jacket.
The couple was accompanied by a friend, dressed in a floral dress.
A bespectacled Princess Michael sat behind the driver’s seat and drove the trio away from the club.

The blonde royal looked elegant as ever in a classy shimmering cream and beige blazer stripe, which she paired with trendy wide-leg trousers and a white top.
A loosely tied white scarf and discreet handbag completed the look.
Her platinum locks were styled in slick bangs, and as the clocks struck 11 p.m., she still wore large sunglasses.
She wore a glamorous make-up, including blush and a creamy nude lip gloss and accessorized with rose quartz earrings and a long necklace made of white and gray pearls.
Meanwhile, her husband was all the man in town in a smart white blazer with black stripes, which he paired with tan trousers.
The pink shirt he chose added a welcome splash of color to the neutral tones of his and his wife’s outfit.
A glamorous blonde girlfriend was seen with the pair, her arm casually linked to Prince Michael.
The trio were seen hopping onto their car, as Princess Michael took over the wheel and drove, her sunglasses on her nose.

As cousins of the Monarch, the couple usually appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Color, but this year they didn’t make the cut due to the King’s plan for a slimmed-down monarchy.
However, their daughter, Gabriella Windsor, 41, was spotted on a hidden balcony in the depths of the palace with her husband Thomas Kingston.
Royal fans admitted they were disappointed on the sparse balcony of Buckingham Palace at this year’s Trooping the Color – after only 14 family members showed up, compared to 40 four years ago.
Those who love The Firm say they miss seeing so many members of the family come together — and labeled Saturday’s slimmed-down balcony as “boring.”
Last year 17 members – and the late Queen – attended, but this year’s balcony was missing the children of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, James, Earl of Wessex and Lady Louise Windsor.
James, 15, and Lady Louise, 19, also appeared on the balcony for the coronation last month.
Also absent from Trooping the Color this year was Princess Alexandra, 86, a cousin of the late Queen.

This year, only 14 royals were on the balcony – a stark contrast to 2019, where more than 40 royals laughed together, excited to watch the flypast.
A royal fan shared the two images on Twitter, writing: ‘So sad that the balcony performance after #TroopingtheColour will be so predictable from now on.
“I loved looking closely at the balcony photos to see who was there and who wasn’t.
‘It is so unnecessary and boring that this beautiful tradition is now gone!’
Another person replied to the thread saying, ‘Could totally agree! If the Christmas walk can include the whole family, why not Trooping the Color?
“I miss the camaraderie & the togetherness & the celebration.”
A third wrote: ‘It’s a pity, but things can change with the next generation (e.g. William’s grandchildren all included)’.
Another person tweeted, “Lots of complaints about the balcony today at #TroopingtheColour, because of this the kings have slimed down the working royals.
I can see William getting his nephews involved once he becomes king, he is and has always been close by and they will be a huge support when he takes over the crown.’
Another royal enthusiast wrote: ‘I have to say, I miss seeing the wider family on the balcony.
At the very least, Charles could have included his cousins and their children, and excluded the wider Kent and Gloucester clans.
“It’s looking a little sparse there, and it’s only getting smaller.”
Someone else replied to the thread, writing, “Yeah. I’d like to see Lady Louise, James, Bea and Edo on the balcony too.’
