Prince George stole the spotlight at Wimbledon on Sunday as the future king made a stylish appearance alongside his parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and younger sister Princess Charlotte.
The 12-year-old royal looked every inch the young gentleman in a navy suit, pale blue shirt and striped tie as he took his seat in the Royal Box for the men’s singles final. But it wasn’t just his polished look that had royal watchers talking.3
Standing beside his father, Prince William, George appeared noticeably taller than ever, with many commenting on just how quickly he is growing up.

Although William still has a clear height advantage, the future monarch is rapidly catching up, with George now appearing almost as tall as his father’s shoulder.
Royal fans have watched George grow from a shy page boy at family weddings into a poised young royal who is increasingly comfortable carrying out public engagements.
