When the royal family gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch theTrooping the Colourflypast, the youngest members couldn’t help but be in awe of the spectacle overhead.
Princess Charlotte,3, clapped as the planes flew overhead, and while her 4-year-old brother Prince George offered his applause sparingly, his dropped jaw gave a better indication of how he felt about the big event, meant to celebrate theQueen’s official birthday. ButQueen Elizabeth‘s great-granddaughter Savannah Phillips wanted her cousin to keep it cool, so she promptly placed her right hand right over the future king’s mouth when he started to giggle.
Savannah knew the cameras were on her, too, as she flashed a sly smile and deadpanned those watching. DadPrince Williamcaught the moment as well, and seemed none too pleased!

Charlotte, meanwhile, stood on the other side ofPeter and Autumn Phillips‘ 7-year-old daughter (the granddaughter of Princess Anne), blissfully unaware of the antics happening right next to her. The 3-year-old princess settled in right in front of momKate Middletonand would constantly glance at her Royal Air Force booklet for information on the aircrafts passing in the sky before looking up to clap in enjoyment.
During a brief moment during the balcony appearance, Charlotte slipped and fell, but mom Kate was there to pick her right back up and give her a comforting hug before placing her back down to enjoy the rest of the celebrations.
