But just two years since a portrait was published on Prince George, with his father Prince William and grandfather Prince Charles in which he can be seen stood on a step next to Her Majesty the Queen it appears that Prince George no longer needs the height boost as he is already close to towering over the Monarch.
And in 2016 he famously stood on top of a pile of black and blue coloured blocks tied with ribbon to raise his height to take part in a professional photoshoot to mark four generations for some new stamp portraits.
On this day in 2016 we celebrated Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th birthday with ten new stamps which included: HM The Queen, HRH The Prince of Wales, HRH The Duke of Cambridge and for the first time on a Royal Mail stamp, HRH Prince George of Cambridge. #HappyBirthdayYourMajesty pic.twitter.com/MNhhB2Nh2JApril 21, 2020
Photographer Ranald Mackechnie, said at the time, “He was absolutely charming, as you can see from the picture. You only have a short window of opportunity with small children, but Prince George was on good form and everyone seemed to enjoy seeing him enjoy the day.
“He was fascinated by my lights and all the kit, and he was quite happy standing on the blocks. I took maybe 80 or 100 shots, but when I saw this one I knew straight away that was it.”
Nice picture w/ great grandmother TQ. ❤️❤️❤️Happy birthday Prince George from Los Angeles Ca. Hope to see another picture like these..@KensingtonRoyal @ClarenceHouse pic.twitter.com/UApqOSYtcKJuly 22, 2022
