Prince William Was The Cutest Little Wedding Attendant As A Kid

This weekend, three-year-old Prince George will serve as a page boy in his aunt Pippa Middleton’s wedding.

And boy, did his dad set an example to follow.

As a child, Prince William was a young attendant in the weddings of his uncle Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and family friends Camilla Dunne and Rupert Soames. Prince Harry also got in on the action, which included sailor suits, pink suspenders and one very ruffly lapel:

There’s no word yet on what Prince George will wear when he follows in his dad’s footsteps this weekend, nor what two-year-old Princess Charlotte will wear in her role as a little bridesmaid.

Let the royal cuteness commence.
