Being a future king doesn't have to be so serious and proper all the time. In fact, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's oldest son Prince George has been photographed making the funniest faces and just goofing around many, many times over the years, so it seems that the little royal is not terribly bothered by the weighty crown he will someday wear, at least not just yet.

As the oldest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton continues to delight audiences everywhere, it feels fitting to look back at some of his sweetest moments. Since his birth in 2013, Prince George has captivated the world. Not just because he is third in line for the throne after his father and his grandfather Prince Charles, either. Prince George has been a quietly charming royal from the very beginning. As the older brother of spunky 6-year-old sister Princess Charlotte and silly 3-year-old brother Prince Louis, Prince George tends to give off a more, shall we say, reserved air. Well, some of the time, at any rate.

But every once in a while, Prince George will show his sillier side, and that's when the true royal magic really happens. See for yourself.

Prince George Just *Over It*

Prince George was not yet 1 year old when he joined his parents on a tour of Australia in 2014, but already, he sort of looked over it. His red cardigan really added something to the whole look.

Prince George Looking Not Too Sure About Things

Prince George matched his dad, Prince William, for a visit to St. Mary's in London to visit his newborn sister in 2015, but the look on his face was hesitant. It was almost like he knew he was going to have to start sharing his parents soon.

Shock And Awe

At Princess Eugenie's wedding in 2018 to Jack Brooksbank, Prince George looked like he was part of a secret joke. It was probably with his cousin Savannah Phillips, who stood next to him smirking.

Please Don't Touch My Sweater, Sir

Just Happy To Be Here

It's hard to tell what Prince George was thinking while watching this soccer game in 2019. Perhaps he was skeptical that his team would pull out the win (to be fair, the people sitting in front of him looked pretty concerned, too).
