Prince George made a blunt assessment of himself as he attended Wimbledon on Sunday alongside his mother, Princess Kate, father, Prince William, and sister, Princess Charlotte.
The 11-year-old royal spoke about his own skills at tennis as he was introduced to Wimbledon doubles champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool.
The Waleses were meeting with the pair along with others before they took to Centre Court to spectate the men’s final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
During the conversation, Cash asked George how his tennis abilities were developing.

The young royal, humble, shrugged his shoulders and admitted: "I’m alright."
George, who is known to be a keen tennis fan alongside his sister, was dressed in a navy suit and blue shirt for Sunday’s event.
The humble exchange followed congratulations being given to Cash and Glasspool for their previous day’s triumph by Princess Kate and her children.
Cash thanked the Princess of Wales for her comments for what he described as a good but "stressful" match.

The Waleses also spoke with 11-year-old Ambrose Caldecott, a young cancer patient.
The youngster, who was diagnosed with stage-two bone cancer in March 2024, was to take on the special role of the coin toss during the men’s final later that day.
Kate spoke with Caldecott about his cancer journey, which she empathised was always a "tough" one.
"You’re so brave," she appeared to tell the boy before asking how he was feeling that day.
Caldecott, standing with the aid of crutches, positively revealed he was: "A lot better. On the mend... Just waiting on the last few end things."
As she said her goodbyes, Kate sweetly wished him: "Good luck today. I’ll be cheering you on."

During the pre-match meet and greet, the Walses also spoke with Steve Backshall, a naturalist and Wimbledon ambassador, a ball boy and ball girl and a disability sports coach.
The family later took their seats in the sweltering heat to spectate Sinner's triumph over defending champion Alcaraz, with the trophy being presented by Kate in her role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club
Notably missing from the Wales family outing was youngest child, Prince Louis.
However, Kate was keen to make sure the seven-year-old was not forgotten as she requested three signed tennis balls from Sinner.
The Princess explained her eldest children were "taking one for their brother" to prevent him from feeling left out.

Kate had attended Wimbledon the previous day to observe Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova compete in the ladies final.
After his victory, Sinner also spoke about his meeting with the royals, revealing: "I asked the kids if they play tennis and asked them what kind of rackets they play with, these kind of things.
"It was amazing. I believe for us tennis players, it's so nice to have them watching us because it makes it even more special.
"You see how much they care about tennis and the sport itself. It's very prestigious. I've been lucky to meet her (Princess Kate) and the whole family, and it was a very nice moment," he concluded.
