Prince George Insists on Attending Prince Philip’s Memorial Service

Prince George, the eldest son of Prince William and Catherine, allegedly expressed his desire to attend Prince Philip's memorial service.

According to a tabloid, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were initially hesitant about bringing their son to the emotional event.

However, to their surprise, Prince George insisted that he wanted to be there because he shared a special bond with his great-grandfather when he was still alive.

Despite the gathering being an emotional event for the royal family, especially the Queen, Prince George and Princess Charlotte tried to cheer her up in their own way.

George worked on a special project to help cheer her up.

He pulled together a whole care package for her and included pages of pictures and paintings he drew and stories he'd written himself.

Charlotte got involved too.

She excels at English and wrote her a gorgeous little letter.

In recent weeks, Prince George and Princess Charlotte have been making more public appearances.

As the former is already eight years old, royal fans will most likely see him in public more often.

During Prince Philip's memorial service, Prince William appeared to make a kind gesture to comfort his nervous son.

The eight-year-old royal seemed to struggle with the pressure and eyes on him at the event as cameras showed the little boy looked worried.

Body language expert Nick Davis believes George was showing signs of anxiety as he started licking his lips and fiddling with his jacket nervously.

However, Mr. Davis also claimed that the Duke of Cambridge sensed his eldest son's anxiety and gave him some gentle reassurance during a conversation with a member of the military.

William had been holding his son's hand steadfastly, but when he greeted and spoke to the navy man, George was left wondering how to engage and interact, which prompted an awkward moment for the young royal.

The Duke appeared to notice his son had started to struggle and in response placed a hand on his shoulder protectively.

Mr. Davis told, he, George, takes a deep breath quickly, gulps and licks his dry lips which is caused by pre-emptive anxiety, but he maintains good eye contact and once he is spoken to by one of the clergymen he breaks into a broad smile showing his confidence.

However, once his father talks to the navy gentleman with the gold braiding, George's mouth tightens to the left and he rubs the bottom of his jacket with his right fingers, showing he feels awkward and is seeking comfort.

William naturally recognizes this by putting his hand on George's shoulder.

Another body language expert, Judy James, agreed that George and Princess Charlotte had coped remarkably well with such a big moment in their lives as royals.

Ms. James was impressed by the way William and Kate interacted with their children.

William's hand barely left his son's shoulder, and he used several pat rituals as a tie sign to register encouragement and approval.

You could tell from the way George copied his father totally that there had been some rehearsals and training behind the scenes.

They were appearing here as proud and loving parents, gently continuing George and Charlotte's induction into formal royal life.

In conclusion, Prince George's desire to attend Prince Philip's memorial service shows how much he loved his great-grandfather.

Despite his young age, he tried to cheer up the Queen in his own way.

The body language experts' observations show how William and Kate are raising their children to be confident and comfortable in formal royal events.
