Social media users go wild for Princess Charlotte and Prince George

Social media users last night went wild for ‘impeccably behaved’ and ‘adorable’ Princess Charlotte and Prince George as they sang along with their parents at their first concert – but others said they looked bored stiff at the Platinum Party in the Park.

Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince George, eight, were attending the event outside Buckingham Palace as part of the four-day Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.

Throughout the concert, which started at 8pm, the camera panned to the youngsters in the royal box, sometimes singing and dancing and often waving flags as they watched a star-studded line up including Sam Ryder and Diana Ross with their parents the Duke, 39, and Duchess of Cambridge, 40.

William and Kate’s youngest child Prince Louis, three, did not attend last night’s event, after putting on an adorable display of cheeky faces and speaking animatedly to his great-grandmother on the first day of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations at an RAF flypast on Thursday.
