The Prince, 70, who became a grandfather for the fourth time last week after the birth of Meghan and Harry's son Archie Harrison, looked in fine spirits as he joined a sea of bowler hats.
The 94th annual parade saw nearly 2,000 cavalrymen take part in the tribute, which honours servicemen and women who've lost their lives fighting for their country since the First World War.
The soldiers march to the Cavalry memorial, which is made from melted down metal used in enemy guns captured in the First World War. The statue shows patron saint of the Cavalry, St George.

It's been a busy week for the royal, who jetted off to Berlin and also made a brief visit to Devon on Friday
It's been a busy week for Prince Charles and it's believed he still hasn't had time to meet his new grandchild, jetting off to Germany shortly after Archie Harrison arrived.
Prince Charles thrilled audiences in Berlin when he spoke German to reveal his joy at becoming a grandfather for the fourth time.
The heir to the throne delivered a speech at the British Ambassador's residence in the country's capital, speaking part of the address in their native tongue.
Charles made reference to his new grandson Archie as he spoke of how he hopes the bond between Britain and Germany will remain close in a clear nod to Britain's departure from the EU.
The seventh-in-line to the throne was born at 5.26am last Monday, and it had been hinted that grandfather Charles and wife Camilla would call in on Meghan and Harry today, after returning from their trip to Germany.
However. the couple are now set to visit next week, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge not far behind.

Taking off their hats in remembrance: a royal family member joins the parade every year with the Princess Royal attending in 2018
Speaking to The Sun, Clarence House said Charles and Camilla would visit in the coming days, while a spokesperson for the Sussex's said William and Kate were in the diary to stop by at Frogmore Cottage.
The Queen was the first member of the royal family to be introduced to the baby, along with Prince Philip and Meghan Markle's mother, Doria Ragland.
Harry and Meghan have chosen not to give their son a courtesy title.
However, a royal decree made over 100 years ago by the Queen's grandfather George V in 1917, means that Archie will automatically gain HRH status, as will all grandchildren on the direct male line of the sovereign.
