Prince George was stopped from being a Page of Honour for King Charles during the State Opening of Parliament on Tuesday.
The 10-year-old had a starring role at King Charles's Coronation in May as a page boy, however, this time around he was preparing for his upcoming exams.
King Charles read out the King's Speech on Tuesday, which consisted of Rishi Sunak's policies and legislation for the upcoming parliamentary year.
The event was filled with pomp and pageantry, with Queen Camilla donning the late Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Diadem and her Bruce Oldfield Coronation dress.
The other page boys that Charles had at the Coronation made an appearance in The House of Lords on Tuesday.
However, the second-in-line to the throne did not attend the historic ceremony.
This was also why the Princess of Wales could not accompany her husband to Singapore.
