Prince George and Princess Charlotte may not have technically attended the 100th birthdaycelebrations of the Royal Air Force, but that didn’t stop them from being inthe spotlight! While their parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton,joined Queen Elizabeth on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, July 10,the royal scene-stealers garnered glances from the palace windows above. Itseems the four-year-old and three-year-old siblings had their own mini-festivities,under the watchful eyes of their faithful nanny Maria Turrion Borrallo and theDuchess’ private secretary,Catherine Quinn.

While theflyover itself was a spectacle, George and Charlotte’s reaction to it was quitepossibly more entertaining and certainly welcome by fans. Both of the children “oohed and aahed” at the 100 aircrafts that flewover Buckingham in special formations. George, who wore a polo shirt, gave a little wave to thecrowds and RAF personnel below. Meanwhile, Charlotte, who was more easily spotted ina bright blue dress, followed suit and cheekily stuck out her tongue.

Sans the pair, members ofthe royal family first gathered at Westminster Abbey to celebrate the Royal AirForce's centenary year. It was the largest gathering of royals since Trooping the Colour back in June, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Charles and Camilla and, of course, the Queen, being among royals to attend the service. The event was followed by the royal saluteand flypast, which the children clearly loved.

Like manyyoungsters his age, George is madfor aircrafts. Kate has previously revealed her son's love for airplanesduring an engagement when she chatted to a young boy named Jacob. Jacob'smother recalled: "[Kate] was asking about what Jacob liked and he said heliked aeroplanes and she was asking if he'd seen a Spitfire. We said we likedgoing to the Science Museum and RAF museum. She was saying how George likeshelicopters, she was saying about the top floor of the Science Museum where thehelicopters are."
