Prince George displays ‘new version’ of himself at Trooping the Colour

Prince George has come into his own as he grows up about Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The second in line to the British throne and the eldest son of the Waleses, Prince George was spotted mature and responsible as he attended Trooping the Colour with the rest of the Royal Family.

Former Royal butler Grant Harold tells Mirror: "We saw a real change in Prince George at this year's Trooping the Colour, it was like a new version of him.

The expert continues: "He's just a few weeks away from his 13th birthday, and behind closed doors he's also getting ready to make the transition to 'big school' - so a huge life change is just around the corner. At Saturday's event George was far more like a young, teenage royal than a child. The change was strikingly clear.

He notes: "While he looked happy as he laughed with his family, I got the feeling that he understood his duty and position this year. He understands that this isn't just a fun day out to watch the flypast, but a high-profile event filled with important traditions."
