Royal Fans Are Abuzz About Kate Middleton’s Latest Outing, But Why Is No One Talking About Prince George’s Surprise Appearance?

And to think I almost missed it

While I’m confident that royally obsessed fans are still talking about Kate Middleton’s surprise appearance at the Balmoral estate over the weekend, I haven’t seen many people mention her son, Prince George, who recently stepped out for an unexpected outing of his own. 

In a photo shared by People, the Princess of Wales, 42, was photographed in a car on her way to church wearing a dark brown Suffolk Fedora (courtesy of Hicks & Brown) and a beige Marlborough Trench Coat from Holland Cooper. But what fans might’ve missed were the other family members sitting with her in the car. Per the outlet, the princess was accompanied by her husband, Prince William, and their 11-year-old son.

The last time royal fans saw Prince George was back in July when he attended the Euro 2024 finals against Spain with his dad. (FYI, the young prince is a massive soccer fan—just like his father, who also happens to be the president of the Football Association.) 

Plenty of photos taken of the father-son duo show them cheering for Team England when they scored their first (and only) point. One pic taken during the game shows Prince George looking like his dad’s mini-me as he dons an identical blue tailored suit with a striped necktie.

Prince George has kept a low profile after his appearance at the Euro 2024 finals. Over the past few weeks, the prince has been enjoying his summer holiday with his parents and two younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. 

But come next month, Prince George will be starting the new school year at Lambrook School, an independent preparatory institution in Berkshire. Since 2022, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have been attending Lambrook. Prior to enrolling in Lambrook, George attended Willcocks Nursery and Thomas’s Battersea school.
