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

In one sweet moment, George shared a smile with his father while William adjusted his tie before the pair applauded the players. Another image captured the young prince standing shoulder to shoulder with Princess Charlotte, who coordinated beautifully with her mother in a vibrant blue dress.

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.

A family day out at Centre Court

The Wales family arrived together for one of the biggest events in the British sporting calendar, with Catherine looking elegant in an olive-green dress complete with a purple and green Wimbledon-inspired bow detail.

Princess Charlotte complemented her mother in a royal blue dress with flutter sleeves, while George opted for a classic tailored suit, mirroring his father's smart appearance.

Throughout the match, the siblings were photographed reacting to the dramatic moments on court, alternately applauding, concentrating on the play and sharing conversations with their parents.

Wimbledon remains a royal favourite

The Princess of Wales, who serves as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, has long made Wimbledon one of the highlights of the royal calendar.

Her children have increasingly joined her in recent years, with George making several appearances at Centre Court and Charlotte becoming a firm fan favourite thanks to her animated reactions during matches.
