Prince George, Wearing a Suit, Joined His Parents at England's Football Game

Prince George, 7, made a rare public appearance tonight in Wembley for the England versus Germany football (aka, soccer in the U.S.) game. George joined his parents Kate Middleton and Prince William in the stands. Both William and George wore navy suits, while Kate donned a bright red blazer, paired with a white T-shirt and dark pants.

This marks George's first event in 2021. The royal will turn 8 years old next month on July 22. Not much is known about George's young life, as his parents have done their utmost to keep their children protected from the public eye, despite their royal statuses. But in 2019, a source spoke to The Sun about George's personality at 6.

“George likes people,” a source said. “Whether he has learned this from his father or it simply comes naturally, he first likes to be sure that he can trust them. Growing up surrounded by courtiers, you learn fast that not everybody has your best interests at heart.

“While the outside world sees him as an infant, George is very much his own man,” the source, who spent time with the young prince growing up, added. “With younger siblings Charlotte and Louis taking a lot of the attention at home, George is learning to be more independent. Yes, he has been protected from some of the realities about being third in line to the throne, but it is almost as if he is hard-wired to feel a sense of responsibility.”

People reported in August 2019 that George and his younger sister Charlotte, 5, are quite close.

“They are close in age, and they spend so much time together,” an insider told the outlet. “Playdates [with outsiders] can be tricky, so they learn to lean on each other.”

Charlotte is the “more outgoing” of the two, a source added, while George is “more reserved.”
