Prince George Nears Kate’s Height at Windsor Easter Service

The 12-year-old enters secondary school in September to begin a gradual step into public duties.

Overview

  • Photos from Sunday’s Easter service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor showed Prince George appearing almost as tall as his mother, even as she wore heels.
  • The family’s first public outing of 2026 drew a wave of online remarks from royal watchers noting the 12-year-old’s growth spurt.
  • George will start secondary school in September, and reporting says full-time royal duties are expected only after he completes his education.
  • He has begun small, supervised engagements, including a December visit with Prince William to homelessness charity The Passage, where staff said he eagerly pitched in.
  • Coverage noted his parents’ heights—Prince William at 6'3" and Princess Kate at 5'9"—and pointed to UK averages to explain why many expect George to be tall.
