Prince George is already an old hand at public appearances before even turning five.

The future king hid behind his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, during some of Saturday’s wedding ceremony for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

It was thought to be his first public appearance in long trousers, and he certainly looked the part as he continues what will be a life led in the spotlight.
