How old is Prince George? Queen's funeral role for Prince William's oldest child

Prince George will attend the funeral of his great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Monday, along with his younger sibling Princess Charlotte.

The two children of Prince William and wife Kate and their younger brother Prince Louis, have not been seen in public since the Queen's death on Thursday, September 8, being kept away from the spotlight as their parents and other senior Royals have attended events like the procession of Her Majesty's coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall and televised vigils while her body has been lying in state.

However, late on Sunday night, the order of service for the Queen's funeral was published online and confirmed that George and Charlotte would be following the coffin as it makes the short journey from the Hall to Westminster Abbey, where the funeral service will take place.

The two youngsters will join their parents and many other members of the Royal Family, including their parents - the new Prince and Princess of Wales; the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Princess Royal and Duke of York.

How old is Prince George?

The oldest of William and Kate's three children, Prince George was born on July 22, 2013, meaning he is nine years old.

Many Brits will have fond memories of TV cameras being focused on the doors of the Lindo Wi8ng of St Mary's Hospital in London, as the world waited for news of his birth and then the first glimpse of the new prince.

George is third in line to the throne, behind his father William, after grandfather King Charles III's succession. He has been present at a number of high profile events over the last few years, including England's games at the Euro championships last year and was also the child closest to the Queen as she made a final appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on the final day of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
