Prince George’s ‘future career’ spotted by fans (Image: Getty)
Prince George appears to have a fine career ahead if being King doesn’t take his fancy. Royal fans joked the young prince, 12, who is second in line to the throne, would be well-suited to another role after some humorous snaps were captured at the Wimbledon men’s singles final on Sunday.
The pictures were almost identical to those taken a year ago at Wimbledon, which went viral as fans joked he seemed well beyond his years. He was snapped staring down on Centre Court as he stood with his hands on the counter in an authoritative pose. Wearing a smart suit to match the commanding stance, many quipped he looked just like a football manager analysing their team from the sidelines.

George wore almost an identical outfit this year, with a pale blue shirt, striped tie and a dark suit jacket and trousers, but that wasn’t the only similarity.
He was snapped doing the exact same pose while sat next to his sister, and you could be forgiven for thinking the photos were taken during the same year.
Sharing the pictures side by side, one fan joked: “If the king thing doesn’t work out, he can always be a football manager”. A second jested: “CEO George”
Prince William, Princess Kate and their two children Prince George and Princess Charlotte arrived at around 3pm on Sunday to a standing ovation as they took their seats in the royal box at Centre Court. Prince Louis, 8, was nowhere to be seen.

Some royal fans were disappointed not to see the cheeky prince alongside his siblings, who made their Wimbledon debut at the age of 8, but according to royal expert Robert Jobson there was a simple reason for Louis’ absence.
He told Cosmopolitan UK: “Wimbledon is a grown up day out. The Royal Box is full of stars and a certain decorum is expected. Stillness. Silence between points. Hours of it. A five setter asks for patience most adults struggle to find.”
