Brand new snaps of Prince George have sent shockwaves across the internet.
A thumbnail and video of the royal youngster were shared by his parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, on Instagram on Sunday (28 Jun), showing George honouring Armed Forces Day with a public outing.
Joined by his mother, Kate Middleton, the 12-year-old rocked up to the Royal Air Force base, where the pair reflected 'on time spent with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby'.
The duo were photographed and filmed exploring the cockpits of various historic military aircraft, and learning from several members of Air Force staff.

It wasn't so much the pair's patriotic antics that sparked a major reaction amongst royal fans, however, but George's towering appearance.
One image from his recent venture saw the future King standing closely beside Kate, 44, seemingly having already reached her 5'9" height, despite not yet being a teenager.
Taking to the comments, hundreds of followers noted George's sudden growth spurt, debating whether or not the young Prince seems to be taking the same likeness of his mother, or his 6'3" father, Prince William.
"Wow! What an awesome mother-son day!" one fan wrote. "Prince George is going to be really tall... he's still growing! He is such a mature young man for only 12 years old. He is such a mature young man for only 12 years old.

"Our beautiful Princess and her handsome tall firstborn," a fourth said. "Love he is doing Royal duties slowly and thoughtfully and he looks ready for it."
Another continued: "Omg George is so tall."
"It’s really something when your child starts to get as tall as you, isn’t it, Your Royal Highness?" a sixth asked Kate, adding: "They grow up so fast!"
"Wow. George is nearly as tall as his mom. Such a nice-looking young man," one fan penned.
Another fan predicted: "Prince George is almost as tall as Princess Catherine. He's becoming very handsome. I see a lot of Princess Catherine's brother's face in Prince George."
"Prince George is such an amazing young man, and this one will be tall like his father," one also wrote. "Catherine Princess of Wales is such an amazing Mum.
