Prince George has been spotted poking his tongue as he performed a very significant role at King Charles’ Coronation service.
The nine-year-old travelled separately from the rest of the Waleses as he arrived at Westminster Abbey alongside other Pages of Honour from Buckingham Palace.
George could be seen just a few steps ahead of his father Prince William, mother Princess Kate, sister Princess Charlotte and brother Prince Louis as he entered Westminster Abbey.
His younger siblings were later seen walking together, with Charlotte seemingly comforting Louis by holding his hand.

However, the future King was snapped poking his tongue out as one of eight all-male Pages of Honour at the Coronation ceremony.
The special role will see Prince George hold the King and Queen’s robes during the service.
The Pages of Honour chosen by Queen Camilla include her 13-year-old twin grandsons Gus and Louis Lopes.
Freddy Parker Bowles, 12, the son of Tom Parker-Bowles, and her great-nephew Arthur Elliot, 11, were also present.

But Charles’ Pages included Nicholas Barclay and Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, both 13, and Ralph Tollemache, 12.They are all sons of notable, royally-linked families.
The King's Pages of Honour donned traditional uniforms, consisting of scarlet tunics decorated with gold lace trim and blue velvet cuffs.
The outfits were first seen at the Coronation of King Edward VII more than a century ago in 1902.

George was complimented on social media for showing maturity in his important role at the Coronation ceremony.
One Twitter user said: “So dashing and mature is our Prince George.
“Seems like only yesterday he was presented in lace for his first royal event.”
Another wrote: “It was so nice to see Prince George carrying the robe.”

A third added: “Prince William’s eldest son, Prince George, looks just like his daddy.”
But Prince George, who is second in the line of succession behind father William, has been snapped poking his tongue out at major events before.
The nine-year-old was even seen sticking his tongue out as the Waleses left Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral at Westminster Abbey last September.
However, George's younger brother Louis has always appeared to outdo his siblings at public events, with his Jubilee outbursts being notably memorable.
