The Princess Royal was spotted having a sweet interaction with her great-nephew, Prince George, on the Buckingham Palace balcony as they watched the flypast at Trooping the Colour.
Princess Anne, 72, appeared to be pointing out the different aircraft to the Prince and Princess of Wales's enthusiastic eldest child, with the pair both exchanging smiles and a small giggle.
See their sweet rapport in the video below…

Working members of the royal family then watched the spectacular military flypast from the palace balcony after the parade.
The day saw many milestones, from the King becoming the first monarch in more than 30 years to ride a horse throughout Trooping the Colour and it was a similar period since five of the nation's most prestigious regiments had gathered to celebrate the sovereign's official birthday.
Camilla and Kate – appointed royal colonels following the death of Queen Elizabeth II – were given prominent new roles during Trooping and were no longer just spectators.

On the eve before Trooping the Colour, Princess Anne also hosted a traditional dinner at Clarence House for her fellow Household Division Colonels in her role as Senior Colonel.
She was joined by the King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Kent.
