A few hours ago, 12-year-old Prince George surprised royal supporters by almost outshining Kate Middleton in height at a new mother-son photo with a historic military aircraft.
On June 27th, the Princess of Wales and her firstborn attended the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby in a visit described as a “powerful reminder of the courage, skill, and dedication of those who serve, past and present,” to commemorate Armed Forces Day.

During the day, Kate Middleton and George took turns sitting in the cockpits of various historic military aircraft and talking to experts in a new video of their visit for their Instagram account, where one can see the great growth of the young prince.
However, a photo of the royal members, one next to the other, shows how much he had grown since he was almost the same height as his mother, who is 1.75 m tall, surprising everyone with this physical transformation by reaching adolescence.
Previously, at this year’s Trooping the Colour, the son of Prince William demonstrated his maturity and professionalism as a royal by attentively enjoying the military event and suppressing a sneeze during the national anthem.
