Prince George doesn’t give a hoot about Trooping the Colour and we love him for it

As usual, it was Prince George who totally stole the show.

It might be his Gan Gan’s big birthday bash but Prince George didn’t look too pumped about all the fuss when he joined his family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the RAF flyover at the end of Trooping the Colour, 2017.

The royal rascal slumped his head in his hands and pulled a rather unimpressed face – reminding the world exactly why we adore him!

The three-year-old looked pretty unimpressed about the whole event. And at three years old, who can blame him?

His maroon suspenders are beyond cute.

Like father, like son. Prince William (L) was just as indifferent as George during the 1988 Trooping the Colour.

Before they appeared on the balcony, the royal sibling peeped out the window.

But his nonchalant nature is just like his dad’s at the same age. Yep, in 1988 Prince William was very indifferent about Trooping the Colour.

Meanwhile his little sister Princess Charlotte, two, was getting into the spirit of the day and happily waved to the crowds.

Perched on her mother, The Duchess of Cambridge’s hip, the adorable princess has grown up so much! And her shiny brunette locks remind us exactly of her mum’s princess perfect tresses.

Dressed in a polka-dot pink dress with frilled sleeves and burgundy leather buckle-up shoes, Charlotte was on her best behaviour for the historical event.

We can’t get over Kate and Charlotte’s matching pink looks.

Dad Wills looks to be giving George a polite “shooshing.”

The last time we saw the Cambridges all together was at Pippa Middleotn’s wedding.

The three-year-old tries out his royal wave.

Charlotte’s locks were pinned back with a tiny maroon bow.

George looked the picture of old school sweetness in a white Peter Pan-collared shirt, maroon shorts and matching suspenders.

By far the cutest moment of the day was when the royal siblings tried out their wave! George pepped up and enthusiastically waved his hands about as his little sister copied him.

At one point, the George started to gesture his hands around like a musical conductor before turning to his dad and smiling.

There’s that gorgeous George smile we know and love.

Queen Elizabeth looks on at her great-grandchildren, George and Charlotte.

The Queen’s birthday parade always finishes with the RAF flyover.

Uncle Harry stands behind the Cambridges.

As tradition dictates, the entire royal family always gather on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the RAF flyover.

The Cambridges retreat back into Buckingham Palace.

Earlier in the day, the royals arrived for the parade on horse-drawn carriages.

The Duchess of Cambridge opted for a stylish pink dress by Alexander McQueen dress and a matching hat by Jane Taylor.

The 91-year-old monarch looked resplendent in a powder blue ensemble, which she teamed with a classic pearl necklace, white gloves and a silver brooch.

Other royal family members in attendance included Prince Andrew and his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

Prince Charles, Prince William and Princess Anne arrived on horseback.
