Prince William, Kate Middleton present Prince George for key royal appearance

Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the VE Day celebrations on Monday alongside their three children, Princes George and Louis as well as Princess Charlotte, however, their choice to attend another event in the day with their eldest may have raised a few eyebrows.

Prince George made an appearance at the Buckingham Palace tea party alongside his parents, following the military procession and flypast outdoors.

Dressed in a sharp navy suit with a blue tie in a lighter shade to match, the young prince chatted away with British veterans at the esteemed gathering.

The proud parents, Prince and Princess of Wales, later took to their Instagram to specifically share the slide of 11-year-old George’s snap at the event.

Parents to the British throne’s second-in-line singled out his portrait to showcase via their stories from the event’s post that they shared on the feed.

These developments prompted HELLO!’s Royal Editor Emily Nash to brand it George’s “big moment”.

“It’s a big moment for him as second-in-line to the throne and one he will remember for many years to come,” she explained.

Also appreciating the Prince’s appearance, she shared, “It was a lovely surprise to see Prince George joining the King and Queen and his parents for the veterans tea party at the Palace.”

Prince George attended the tea party which celebrated around 50 World War II British veterans and other members of the war generation alongside Prince William and Kate Middleton on Monday.
