Prince George impressed body language experts with his maturity during an appearance at the Ashes with his dad, Prince William.

The young royal was spotted at Lords for the second test with the Prince of Wales yesterday (Saturday, July 1), where the pair were seen chatting with the likes of Rishi Sunak and Stephen Fry.

And despite his youth, George, nine, seemed calm and "fully engaged" at the legendary sporting event.

"George appears older than his years. We don't see any fidgeting, he's sitting patiently, watching and chatting," body language expert Inbaal Honigman told the Daily Star.

"He uses clear facial gestures to respond to what he's seeing and hearing, showing us that he is responsive.

"Young children are often lost in their own thoughts and their own world, but not George, he's fully engaged with the environment around him."

Adrianne Carter, The Face Whisperer, agreed and added that at previous events George sometimes came across as "self-conscious" – but now appears to have outgrown his shyness.

"William comes across as a hands-on parent and willing to take the time to spend with his oldest son one on one. He wants to show a close bond to the world," she said.

"In this clip we see a confident boy growing and being calm under scrutiny. In some clips at previous events, George can often look self-conscious but we don’t see any of that in this clip."

George – who has seemingly already taken a keen interest in cricket – was also seen tucking into a slice of pizza as his dad explained the rules of the game.

But although the father-son duo warmed hearts during their unexpected public outing, some fans expressed concern for young George as they spotted a key accessory missing from his outfit.

As the sun shone on Lords for another thrilling day of cricket between England and Australia, William was spotted sporting a pair of sunglasses, while the younger royal's appeared to be missing.

One royal fan took to Twitter, stating: "Prince George needs some sunglasses, he is screwing up his eyes, sunshine is too strong."

Another commented: "They should get Prince George some sunglasses," while a third chimed in: "Prince George needs to wear sunglasses as well as Dad."

And the royal dress code wasn't the only controversial talking point among eagle-eyed sports fans over the weekend – the Prime Minister's unusual behaviour also turned heads.

Sunak was seen laughing and gesturing enthusiastically as he appeared alongside the royal duo at Lord's, with body language experts dubbing his mannerisms "very curious".

"There's more of a big show of happiness than genuine happiness there," Honigman told the Daily Star.

"His broad hand gestures and overly wide smile tell us that he wants to impress those around him, and that he'd like for them to think he's interesting and funny."
