Prince William and his son, Prince George, spent quality time together at a cricket match in London on Saturday, July 1. The Duke of Cambridge, who is 41 years old, took his nine-year-old son, who he shares with Princess Kate, to watch day four of the second Ashes Test at Lord's. The royal family showed their support for England as they faced off against Australia in the thrilling cricket match.
William wore a blue blazer with a lighter blue button-down shirt. George, meanwhile, was the spitting image of his dad, donning a navy blazer with a blue and white button-down.
During a game break, Prince William engaged in conversations with other attendees in the box, while Prince George enjoyed eating pizza. Notably, actor Stephen Fry was among the guests engaging in casual conversations with the future King of England.
Prince George has had a busy year with an unusually high number of public appearances. One notable event was his role as one of the Pages of Honor at his grandfather King Charles III's coronation in May. Shortly after, he joined his parents and siblings for a public engagement called The Big Help Out. During this outing, the family visited the 3rd Upton Scout Group in Berkshire, England, where the children participated in activities such as planting and painting. George even learned how to use a power drill and tried his hand at archery during some downtime.
The Wales family attended the Trooping of the Colour in June, where they made a notable public appearance. Accompanied by Charles, 74, George, Charlotte, and Louis stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, observing a military flyover in awe.
Prince William wants to ensure that his children are able to comprehend the intricacies before involving them in his mission to eradicate homelessness in the U.K.
"When I left this morning, one thought crossed my mind: 'When would be the appropriate time to introduce George, Charlotte, or Louis to a homeless organization?' Once I can find a balance with their schooling, I believe it is important for them to be exposed to it," William stated ahead of his launch of the Homewards initiative. "During the school run, we discuss what we observe. While driving back and forth in London, we frequently encountered individuals sitting outside supermarkets, and we would have conversations about it."
He added: "I would ask the children, 'Why are they there? What could be happening?' I believe it is in everyone's best interest and the right thing to do, to gradually expose the children, in an appropriate manner, so they can gain understanding. They will grow up recognizing that some of us are fortunate while others need a helping hand, and that we should actively contribute to improving the lives of others."
