Prince William corrects Prince George during blink-and-you-miss-it balcony moment
Prince William was spotted correcting his son Prince George during a subtle moment at this year's Trooping the Colour. The family had gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony when the 11-year-old appeared slightly out of place.
A short clip shared on social media captured William speaking briefly to George as the royals looked out at the crowd. William gestured for his son to move slightly, helping adjust the positioning of the children during the final moments of the flypast.
George quickly responded to the instruction, shifting along the balcony. The moment passed quietly and was barely noticeable unless watching closely.
The balcony appearance forms the finale of the King's Birthday Parade. King Charles and Queen Camilla led the ceremony, joined by senior working royals.
Kate, 43, stood alongside her husband and children as the Royal Air Force's Red Arrows soared overhead. The Princess of Wales kept a close eye on her three children throughout the event.
Charlotte, ten, and Louis, seven, stood on either side of George. Louis gave a big wave to the crowds as the flypast ended, while Charlotte turned to smile at the public, guided gently by Kate's hand.
George, Charlotte and Louis are familiar faces at Trooping the Colour. The siblings first appeared together on the balcony in 2019.
This year, they travelled by carriage with Kate from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade. Charlotte and Kate shared a twinning moment in aqua, while the boys wore matching suits and red ties.
The three were composed and well-behaved throughout the ceremony.
Louis added his usual cheeky energy, drawing smiles from both parents.
George, now second in line to the throne, is becoming more involved in royal life. His presence at formal events has increased in recent months.
In May, George joined his parents at a tea party hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla. The event, held at Buckingham Palace, welcomed veterans and members of the World War II generation.
It was George's first time at such a formal occasion. He was seen shaking hands, listening to stories and sitting beside his father throughout.
Sources have said William and Kate are introducing royal duties slowly. They are aiming to balance responsibility with as normal a childhood as possible.
Trooping the Colour is held every June to mark the monarch's official birthday. King Charles, 76, was joined by Queen Camilla in a carriage down the Mall.
Senior royals including Prince William, Princess Anne and Prince Edward rode on horseback. All wore black armbands in remembrance of victims of the recent Air India crash.
A minute's silence was observed during the ceremony. The display featured more than 1,400 soldiers and ended with the traditional balcony flypast.
The Queen wore a white silk crepe dress by Anna Valentine with silver embroidery. Her hat was designed by Philip Treacy.

King Charles wishes dads 'everywhere' a Happy Father's Day
King Charles has wished dads "everywhere" a Happy Father's Day. The 76-year-old monarch is father to Prince William, 42, and 40-year-old Prince Harry with his late ex-wife Diana, Princess of Wales - who was killed in a car crash in 1997 at the age of 36 - and as he celebrated the special day on Sunday (15.06.25), he remembered to acknowlede dads around the world as well. Alongside an old black-and-white photo of himself and his sons, he wrote on Instagram: "To all Dads everywhere, we wish you a happy Father's Day today." The king has become somewhat estranged from his youngest son since he and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex relinquished royal duties five years ago in favour of a life in LA. Harry - who tied the knot with former Suits actress Meghan, 43, in 2018 and went on to have Prince Archie, six, as well as four-year-old Princess Lilibet with her - now heads up the Archewell Foundation with his wife, and they have a Netfix parntership together. But Charles' post comes just weeks after Harry expressed his desire for a reunion between himself and his family, especially because he "misses" his home country. In May, he told the BBC: "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore. "Life is precious. I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point. "I miss parts of the U.K., of course I do. And I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show, you know, my children." However, insisted that he cannot bring his wife Meghan and their two children to the UK, because of security fears. He said: 'I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point. I miss parts of the UK, of course I do. And I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show, you know, my children. 'This is, at the heart of it, a family dispute. And it makes me really, really sad that we're sitting here today, five years later, where a decision that was made, most likely - in fact, I know - to keep us under their roof. But then once they saw that that wasn't going to work, once they saw that, you know myself, my wife, my kids are happier outside of the institution, then please just look at the facts. Look at the risks. Look at the threat. Look at the impact. If anything was to happen to me, my wife or my father's grandchildren - if anything was to happen to them - look where the responsibility lies, you know? So this is a duty of care that has been completely throw out the window."

'Um, I don't see it that way,' he said. 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know. Mostly I feel pretty … my life is fairly contained. It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit.' During the 2024 racing season, Pitt and new girlfriend Ines de Ramon attended a public event for the first time at the British Grand Prix.

No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.'

‘How to Train Your Dragon' Star Nico Parker Says ‘I Just Don't Care' That People Are Upset Over Her Casting: ‘I Can't Value Your Opinion on My Hair'
Nico Parker is paying no mind to those who are upset about her casting in the live-action 'How to Train Your Dragon.' In a recent interview with The Times of London, Parker addressed the online backlash surrounding her casting as the young dragon butt kicker Astrid. Some were upset that Parker doesn't have blonde hair and blue eyes like the character in the original animated 'How to Train Your Dragon.' However, the 20-year-old British actress explained that she does not let those comments get to her head. More from Variety 'How to Train Your Dragon' Soars to Korea Box Office Crown 'How to Train Your Dragon' Review: DreamWorks Swoops Into the Remake Game With Respectful Cover From Co-Director of 2010 Toon Live-Action 'How To Train Your Dragon' Among Additions to Annecy Lineup 'There's some people that really love the animated movies and really want to see an exact play-by-play of that film, and I hope that you can watch [the new version] and find something that you love about it, regardless,' she said. 'But for the people that just hate inclusivity, hate change — when it comes to that side of things, I just don't care.' She continued, 'If I wouldn't value your opinion on most things in life, I can't value your opinion on my hair. If I did, I would go mad.' Parker comes from a family of filmmakers. Her father is director Ol Parker and her mother is actress Thandiwe Newton. She added that when she was younger, the representation in Hollywood of 'mixed race or Black icons' was 'really minimal,' but thinks it's 'really special' to see how far the industry has come. 'There's still a long way to go — for women in general, in terms of new parts, original material and female-led stories,' Parker added. 'But I think that everything's changing. I'd like to think that I could contribute to that change at some point.' The original 'How to Train Your Dragon,' loosely adapted from the 2003 children's book by Cressida Cowell, was released in 2010 and went on to gross a massive $495 million worldwide. Leading cast members included Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler and America Ferrera. In his review for the new live-action 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which hits theaters June 13, Variety film critic Peter Debruge praised Parker's performance, writing, 'The swaggering Astrid was always the film's most self-reliant character, and in Parker's hands, the romance between her and Hiccup takes on Clark Kent-Lois Lane vibes, especially when the two hit the skies.'
