During the course of the weekend, the four-year-old made headlines for pulling a series of faces at Trooping the Colour and when he later appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the flypast. Two days later, during the Pageant, the young royal was spotted covering the Duchess of Cambridge's face when he sat in the royal box - much to the world's amusement.
