The Prince and Princess of Wales's son, Prince George, has met a roster of famous faces over the last ten years, even from an early age.
Royal watchers were delighted as Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte posed for a snap with Taylor Swift after attending her Eras tour at Wembley Stadium last Friday.
George and Charlotte beamed from ear to ear as they met the US megastar backstage at the concert, which coincided with dad William's 42nd birthday.
But what other big names has George met? From footballers to world leaders, the young Prince has rubbed shoulders with some of the most high profile figures.
Take a look in the gallery below...

The Wales children were visibly in awe of Sir David Attenborough, as the young royals met the naturalist and broadcaster at their Kensington Palace home in 2020. George looked intrigued as he was presented with a fossilised tooth from an extinct Carcharocles megalodon – one of the most feared predators to have swum in the seas.

As a future king in waiting, George will one day conduct weekly audiences with the sitting prime minister, but he's already met a few, including Rishi Sunak. The British prime minister was seen enjoying a cricket match and pizza with William and George during the Ashes 2023 tournament.
