Prince George sticks out tongue to crowd at Queen’s funeral
Prince George pulled a Prince Louis during his late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth’s funeral on Monday.
The 9-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton stuck out his tongue and made a funny face while on the way to Windsor Castle — not unlike his 4-year-old brother who put on a show at the Queen’s Jubilee.
Photographer Matt White took the cute snap, showing George sitting next to his younger sister, Princess Charlotte, while they were riding in a car.
“I’d seen Prince George and Kate go by and snapped a photo of their car, but it was only a very quick photo so I didn’t think it would be that good,” White told the Daily Mail.
The photos were snapped as the royal family made their way to Windsor for the queen’s committal service following her funeral mass at Westminster Abbey. George and Charlotte, 7, joined senior royals throughout the funeral procession and followed the monarch’s casket.
“I only realized later when I was looking through the photos that George was pulling that face,” White added.
“It was quite a funny thing to get a photo of — especially as he’s now second in line for the throne and his brother did the same thing at the [Platinum] Jubilee,” White added, citing Prince Louis’ antics in June.
Upon the queen’s death on Sept. 8, Prince William, 40, became the Prince of Wales and moved up in the line of succession.
His father and the sovereign’s oldest son, King Charles III, is now the ruler of the United Kingdom and its territories.
George’s younger brother Prince Louis was center stage at Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee this past June, making hilarious faces at photographers and viewers.
The tiny tot did not attend the funerary proceedings, with Middleton saying he’s having trouble understanding the Queen’s death.
Meanwhile, George was spotted at the funeral looking upset, with his great-aunt Sophie, Countess of Wessex comforting him in church. Prince Edward’s wife, 57, put her arm around the youngster as she stood next to Charlotte and Middleton, 40.
The two kiddies were reportedly on their best behavior on Monday, according to fellow event attendee Mark Tewksbury.
“For little Prince George, this will be him one day and he doesn’t really know that yet,” the 54-year-old Olympian said in an interview with People.
“And then I thought, ‘Ah, he’s just lost his great-grandmother,’” he continued. “[They were] incredibly well-behaved” and they also acted “a little like kids, a little like, ‘Wow, this is a lot.’”
