The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations have proved to be a busy time for Prince George.
The third-in-line to the throne has made a string of appearances alongside his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
As the Jubilee weekend came to a close with a balcony appearance by the Queen alongside her immediate heirs, including George.
And according to body language expert Judi James, by the time George appeared at the final event of the Jubilee, his confidence was beginning to show - and even the "first shoots of leadership".
She told the Mirror: "Louis might have been the scene-stealer but George, phenomenally, seems to have grown up in front of our eyes over the four days of the Jubilee.
He began by displaying signals of shyness, suggesting less confidence than his very fearless, composed sister and hilarious little brother.
"By today though we could see a boy fully mirroring his father’s confidence and even showing the first shoots of some leadership skills.
"When the state coach rolled up to the royal box it was George getting to his feet first and buttoning his jacket before urging his father to do the same.

"It was George standing proudly and solemnly beside his great grandmother on the balcony just now and he was the royal throwing her a big beaming grin of warmth when she spoke to him."
Meanwhile, Judi added that the balcony moment also provided a touching, perfect pose.
She added: "This very touching royal line-up on the balcony provided a glimpse of the past present and future of the monarchy in one perfect pose.
Not only has the Queen been able to remind her heirs of both the sense of duty they need to inherit but also the way they should never take themselves too seriously or forget to have fun.
"George in particular will probably have learned from her hilarious video appearance with Paddington Bear alongside all the more serious mentoring he has been receiving from his father.
"William towered over the group but his smile of pride has been growing steadily throughout this weekend.
"His and Kate’s hard work with their children has clearly paid off. Not only have they been happy and playful with the Tindalls but they have also, in a very natural and spontaneous way, produced several PDAs to signal unity and strong bonding across the generations."
