Lots of children having been heading back to school, with Prince George having recently walked into Eton College as a student for the first time. However, even though he looked thrilled to be moving on to his next chapter, his father, Prince William, was reportedly caught in an "unlikely grapple" on his first day at school.
Pictures have emerged on X showing Prince George attending Eton with Prince William and Princess Kate, but a particular moment caught people by surprise. Indeed, many onlookers drew attention to it after the moment was caught on camera, and it certainly distracted a few Royal fans.
It comes after an expert made another claim about the Royals. Previously, it was reported Prince George could learn an "instrumental lesson" from Mike and Zara Tindall.
Speaking about Prince William this week, one social media user said: "Prince William knows how to put his son at ease. Struggle with your umbrella."
Another also shared snaps, writing: "Prince William got in a fight earlier today (September 8), with an umbrella. Clearly the umbrella won and he said ‘sod it, I’ll get wet’."
The snaps left many amused as they show the future King appearing to grapple with an umbrella as pictures were being taken. It blew inside out and he seemed to struggle to control it during the rain, and it's something that seems to have left Kate, George and many onlookers amused.
One said: "He must have so much knowledge about Eton that he’s passing down to George." Another added: "I have a perfect record of losing every umbrella fight I've ever had."
A third replied: "Some light entertainment for George who was probably a bag of nerves." Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "I love how the other two are enjoying his tussle!"
Someone else also shared similar pictures alongside the caption: "Another cute photo from Eton yesterday. Prince William dealing with a malfunctioning umbrella right before they walked across the quad for the photo call."
On Tuesday (September 8), the Prince and Princess of Wales also shared some pictures of the young Prince on his first day. They were posted alongside the caption: "George’s first day at Eton."
In the pictures, you see George smiling. He's seen wearing pinstripe trousers, a white shirt and a black jacket. He beamed as he posed for the photographs.
Over 900,000 people have liked the snaps since they were shared, and several commented too. Many thought he looked so tall and so smart.
One responded: "Aww!! Prince George!! It feels like you were born five minutes ago. Happy first day at Eton!"
Another added: "He looks so grown up. And such a lovely mix of both William and Catherine! Wishing Prince George good luck and every success as he studies at Eton."
A third also said: "These pictures are so beautiful! Prince George isn't a baby anymore and he is looking more and more like his dad. I wish him all the best at Eton! I'm sure he will have a great time there."
