Prince George's confident stride as he walked with Prince William's aide went viral after a behind-the-scenes moment from King Charles III's coronation resurfaced.
George was a couple of months off his 10th birthday when Charles and Queen Camilla were crowned in a historic ceremony at Westminster Abbey, in London.
Dressed in red robes for his role as a page, George walked purposefully behind a waiting gold carriage and horses, alongside Lieutenant Commander Rob Dixon, then equerry to Prince William.

Why It Matters
The clip was liked 16,400 times and viewed 161,400 times having been posted with the message: "Prince George's aura."
What to Know
The footage appears to show Prince George outside Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023, alongside the other pages while horses and a gold carriage are lined up nearby.
William's equerry looks to have pulled George out of the crowd in order to escort him away from the other pages, no doubt on an important coronation mission of some kind.
George joined three other pages, including sons of close royal family friends, to assist with the king's heavy ceremonial robes throughout the elaborate service.
Despite the high-pressure setting—broadcast globally and steeped in centuries of tradition—George's poise and focus endeared him to viewers and royal watchers.
King Charles' coronation was a rare moment for the royals, in that not one but two future kings actively took part, with Prince William also having a key role.
During the ceremony, the Prince of Wales knelt before Charles and delivered "Homage of Royal Blood." This involved placing his hands between the king's as he pledged: "I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God."
William touched the crown and kissed his father's cheek before the king replied: "Thank you, William."
What People Are Saying
One fan replied, "HE'S THE AURA," while another wrote: "The future king."
Not everyone was convinced, however, with one user replying: "No hate but some of y'all just glaze them a lil too much he's just walking it's ridiculous honestly."

Amal Clooney Opts for a Minimalist Halter Gown at the 2025 King's Trust Awards
George and Amal Clooney have arrived at the 2025 King's Trust Awards in London. Having attended in years past, the A-list power couple is no stranger to the event, which recognizes youth who have overcome challenging circumstances and positively impacted their communities. (Amal is also a natural fit for the affair, given her work as a barrister often revolves around human rights activism.) Hitting the red carpet before the ceremony, Amal was sure to bring her impeccable summer style—and penchant for timeless, and often vintage, dresses—to the gathering. She chose a minimalist halter gown that was the perfect mix of classic and contemporary: while the floor-length column silhouette felt timeless, the halter neckline with metal hardware added a dash of modernity to the look. She paired it with a classic evening clutch and pointed pumps. The Clooneys have been out and about in London all week. Last night, they attended the kickoff gala for the awards, hosted at Buckingham Palace with King Charles in attendance. There, Amal wore a striking off-the-shoulder LBD with bow detailing, while George went classic in a tailored gray suit—because when it comes to this megawatt couple, the fashion is always coordinated. Yet at tonight's awards, it was Amal and her striking white look who truly shone.

Major WWE Star's Return Is On The Horizon Ahead Of SummerSlam
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Roman Reigns has not been on WWE television since the Raw after WrestleMania 41. At the event, Paul Heyman helped Seth Rollins win their three-way match that also included CM Punk. Reigns made a brief appearance on Raw the following night but has been absent ever since. With SummerSlam 2025 approaching, it appears his return is being planned. Roman Reigns' WWE Return Is On The Horizon According to the social media account WrestleVotes, a return for Reigns may happen soon. The account reports that his name is being mentioned more internally. "It seems that time of year again—Roman Reigns' return is on the horizon," the report stated. "Sources indicate his name has popped up internally in recent weeks." The report notes that this usually signals that plans are being put in place. This would time his return for the build to SummerSlam. CLEVELAND, OHIO - AUGUST 03: (Editors Note: Composite Image.)

Arena scene during SummerSlam at Cleveland Browns Stadium on August 3, 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio. WWE/Getty Images "[This] typically signal[s] the wheels are in motion for a return heading into the biggest party of the summer," the post concluded. Roman Reigns' History At WWE SummerSlam Reigns' history at SummerSlam showcases his evolution from a rising star to a generational talent. His early appearances included a notable singles victory over Randy Orton in 2014 and his first main event in 2017's chaotic Fatal Four-Way. In 2018, he captured his first Universal Championship by finally defeating his rival, Brock Lesnar. However, the event became the stage for his most iconic transformation. He made his shocking return in 2020, attacking "The Fiend" and Braun Strowman and debuting his "Tribal Chief" persona. This launched an era of dominance with a string of classic main events. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation He defeated John Cena in 2021, Brock Lesnar in a wild Last Man Standing match in 2022, and his cousin Jey Uso in a dramatic "Tribal Combat" match in 2023. More than any other event, SummerSlam has defined the most pivotal moments of Reigns' legendary career. With such a history at the event and where WWE left off as time that Reigns was at the event, one would think that WWE has major plans for him coming up in a few months. There's been speculation that he could work a singles match with Rollins or team up with CM Punk for a tag team match. For now, we will have to wait and see.

'Lilo & Stitch 2' Already On the Way from Disney
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Disney has wasted little time in capitalizing on the success of the animated remake reboot "Lilo & Stitch". On Thursday, Disney posted a video on social media, letting fans know that "Lilo & Stitch 2" is already in development. You can watch the video below. Read More: 'F1' Director Teases 'Top Gun 3' The video has Stitch driving around the back lots of Walt Disney Studios, dropping hints first with his "2 Fast" license plate and driving by "Studio 2". Finally, with his tires, he writes out "Lilo & Stitch 2" on the asphalt. Stitch sporting red sunglasses in the live-action remake of 'Lilo & Stitch.' Stitch sporting red sunglasses in the live-action remake of 'Lilo & Stitch.' Disney It should come as little surprise that Disney is already keen to get a "Lilo & Stitch" sequel, considering its massive success. In spite of mixed reactions to many of the studio's live-action remakes lately, "Lilo & Stitch" has proven to be a record breaker in all the best ways. Among other things, the film earned the biggest 4-Day Memorial Day weekend box office ever with $182.6 million. That flew past even a record set by "Top Gun: Maverick", which earned $160.5 million. "Lilo & Stitch" enjoyed the highest Disney live-action opening of all time in Latin America, earning $27 million in Mexico and $12.2 million in Brazil. The remake earned the third-highest worldwide box office opening for a Disney live-action remake with $342 million, coming up short against "Beauty and the Beast" ($357 million) and "The Lion King" ($433 million). With only its opening weekend take, the live-action "Lilo & Stitch" soared over the entire theatrical release of the original animated film, which only took in $275 million. Overall, "Lilo & Stitch" has proven to be the second highest-grossing MPA movie of the year so far. The remake has made $923 million worldwide, coming in behind the $954 million amassed by "A Minecraft Movie". Even without the "Lilo & Stitch" remake, the franchise is one of the most important ones owned by Disney. According to Deadline, products based on "Lilo & Stitch" made Disney over $2.5 billion last year, and is one of 11 franchises that made over $1 billion for the company in 2024. "Lilo & Stitch" is also one of the most-streamed franchises on Disney+, with 546 million streamed hours of "Lilo & Stitch" content, and over half of that (280 million) attributed to views of the 2002 animated movie. There's no word yet on who will be writing or directing "Lilo & Stitch 2" or what cast members will return for the sequel. However, the return of Chris Sanders, who voiced Stitch and co-directed the 2002 animated film, seems like one of the safer bets.
