Prince George Replaces Dad Prince William During an Unexpected Royal Visit "Honoring Service and Sacrifice" With Mom Princess Kate

Princess Kate wears a giant white pilgrim collar with a black dress and a red poppy, and her son Prince George wears a black suit.

Prince George is currently preparing to attend Eton College, his dad Prince William's alma mater. Ahead of his transfer to the elite school, the 12-year-old prince is taking on additional responsibilities within the Royal Family, which includes replacing his father at royal events.

On Saturday, June 27, the Prince and Princess of Wales's official Instagram account shared footage of Prince George accompanying his mom, Princess Kate, on a royal excursion. Per the caption, George and Kate were "honoring service and sacrifice" during the engagement, which took place at the Royal Air Force's Coningsby station.

"Marking Armed Forces Day by reflecting on time spent with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby," the caption explained. "Learning about the extraordinary history of these aircraft and meeting the pilots and engineers who keep their legacy alive. A powerful reminder of the courage, skill, and dedication of those who serve, past and present. Thank you to all those who have served and continue to serve."
