Is Prince George literally about to tower over his own mother? Because honey, the latest family photos Kate Middleton just blessed us with are sending the internet into absolute OVERDRIVE, and we are LIVING for the drama of it all!
The Princess of Wales recently shared some absolutely stunning new portraits featuring herself cozied up with all three of her fabulous offspring, but it’s the image with her 12-year-old eldest that has everyone doing a double-take. Prince George, our favorite royal in the making, is apparently on some kind of growth spurt that would make a giraffe jealous. In the adorable snap, Kate has her arm wrapped protectively around her son, and — plot twist — he’s practically eye-level with her now! We’re talking almost surpassing her in height, people. ALMOST!
This is not just a casual observation, darling. This is a full-on moment. We’ve watched George grow up before our very eyes through official portraits and public appearances, but seeing him this tall next to his mom? It’s giving major “when did my baby get so big” energy, and honestly, we’re not emotionally prepared for it either.
The fashion-forward family looked absolutely picture-perfect in the photos, of course, because this is Kate we’re talking about — the woman who makes parenting look like a haute couture photoshoot. But while everyone’s gushing about the coordinated outfits and the precious family bonding moment, the real tea is this astronomical height situation that nobody saw coming quite this fast.
Royal watchers and devoted followers immediately took to social media to discuss this development, with many shocked commenters noting how quickly George seems to be shooting up. Some were even joking that he’ll need his own step stool to reach the top shelf at Buckingham Palace soon. The genetics are REAL, and apparently, they’re working overtime in the Wales household.
Catherine clearly isn’t worried about being the shortest family member though — she looked absolutely radiant in the photos, serving both mommy and royalty realness. Because that’s what we expect from the Princess of Wales: grace, poise, and apparently, raising a son who’s determined to break the height ceiling.
What do you think? A) Prince George will definitely be taller than Kate by age 13 B) Kate will always be the tallest in the family photos no matter what
