Royal fans were left amazed as Prince George towered over the Princess of Wales at Trooping the Colour today.
An officer from the RAF escorted Catherine and her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to a waiting carriage following the Trooping the Colour ceremony at Horse Guards Parade, where fans noticed the height of the future king.
Despite wearing heels, Prince George, 12, appeared almost as tall as his mother, while Charlotte, 11, and Louis, eight, were visibly much shorter.
One fan wrote on X: "George is as tall as his mother at 5’9."
Another said: "Omg Catherine is wearing heels and look George is still almost as tall. Great family pic."
Similarly, someone commented: "Wow, Prince George is so tall. Princess Catherine looks beautiful as always."
Additionally, one posted: "George is getting close to being as tall as his mum. Might be pretty close if she isn’t wearing heels."
Another wrote: "Oh my god, look how tall George and Louis are. Louis is not a baby anymore."
