A Royal Reaction: Prince George Steals the Show During National Anthem
In a delightful moment that captivated viewers, Prince George was spotted standing between his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as the national anthem played.
Dressed sharply in a suit and tie, the young royal appeared less than enthusiastic during a brief four-second clip aired by BBC One.
As the camera panned to him, some keen-eyed fans noticed that he wasn’t singing along with the anthem, which sparked a flurry of humorous comments on social media.
One Twitter user quipped, “Absolutely love how Prince George, who is literally related to the woman the song is about, couldn’t care less to sing the national anthem, lmao!” Others joined in on the fun, with another user remarking, “Prince George rolling his eyes during the national anthem at the football?
Already my favorite king.” The playful banter highlighted how relatable the young prince seemed in that moment.
The occasion was significant, as England triumphed over Germany with a 2-0 victory, thanks to goals from Raheem Sterling and team captain Harry Kane.
The atmosphere at Wembley was electric, with fans passionately supporting their team despite COVID-19 restrictions limiting attendance to 40,000.
This match marked a historic moment for England, being the first time they won a knockout match in the European Championship without needing penalties since the tournament’s inception.
Looking ahead, England is set to face Ukraine in Rome on Saturday night, vying for a spot in the semi-finals.
The excitement surrounding the team’s journey has captured the hearts of many, including Prince George, who, despite his apparent disinterest during the anthem, was seen enjoying the game alongside his parents.
On social media, the reactions to Prince George’s demeanor were plentiful.
Dr. Rachel Mann noted, “Prince George looking quite catastrophically bored during the singing of the national anthem,” while another user humorously pointed out his “duck face” expression as the anthem played.
It seems the young prince’s candid reaction resonated with many, making him a relatable figure for children everywhere.
Fans also expressed their joy at seeing the Cambridges together in the spotlight, with one user commenting, “Love hearing our national anthem!
Gets me every time.
Lovely to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with Prince George.” Such sentiments reflect the affection the public holds for the royal family, especially during significant national events.
