Prince George’s height was more noticeable than ever during Trooping the Color 2026. In new photos of the event, which celebrates the British monarch’s birthday every June, the eldest son of William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales can be seen towering over his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. And he was not far behind his mother, Princess Catherine (although he still lagged far behind his father, Prince William, who is also super tall).

Not surprisingly, social media users took notice George’s impressive height transformation and hastened to send their observations. Alongside a photo of the royal family walking, a user on X shared their amazement. “The height of Prince George just blows my mind,” they noticed. In response to a picture of him sitting in a carriage, one second wrote”Is it my imagination or does Prince George look taller even though he’s sitting down?” Meanwhile, a third commented on George’s stately behavior at Trooping The Colour, which has had its moments where the royal children seemed a bit uneasy. “Wow, Prince George already has the commanding presence of a future king… Steady and direct gaze…” they gushed about the pre-teen who is second in line to the throne.
Prince George is to start a new school this year
Prince George’s ascension to the throne is hopefully decades away. In the meantime, he has another milestone to reach. He is about to finish his final year at Lambrook School, which means he will likely go on to a boarding school just like his famous parents. And while there has been much speculation about where George will spend his next chapter, royal expert Richard Eden has said he will attend Eton, where Prince William attended. “It will be announced next week that George will start at Eton in September,” Eden wrote to the paper Daily Mail in June 2026. Of course, nothing is written in stone until the royal family confirms the news.
But whether George ends up at Eton or another boarding school, his move is likely to trigger a period of adjustment for his family. “George going to high school will be an emotional time for them,” royal author Robert Jobson told us Hello!. “It’s a chance for him to spread his wings and take part in things in the afternoon and evening instead of going home to mum and dad.” And while it will likely be difficult for William and Princess Catherine not to see their eldest every day, they are the perfect parents to help George navigate his exciting new adventure. “Both of them know what it was like; they both went on board, so they know how it works,” Jobson pointed out.
