It was a boys day out for the royals over the weekend.
On Saturday, Prince William and his eldest son, Prince George, attended the second Ashes cricket Test match between England and Australia in London.
The Prince of Wales, who recently celebrated his 41st birthday, and Prince George took in the game in a private box and watched closely.
Both wore blue coats in different shades and Prince William wore sunglasses for much of the game.

Prince George was also presented with a mini replica of the Ashes urn by England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Richard Thompson. The urn is a symbol of the rivalry between the cricket teams of England and Australia and its origins date back to 1882.

The 9-year-old prince is the eldest of William’s three children with Kate Middleton. His younger siblings are Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
In June, the family celebrated Father’s Day with a sweet family portrait of William with all three children, photographed by Millie Pilkington.
The young prince has become a little more in the spotlight this year. His first major event was the coronation of his grandfather, King Charles III, in May. Young George is now second in line to the throne, just behind his father, William.
