The Cambridges are all huge sports fans, and as such they feel everything that happens during a heated match deep in their souls.

Take for example Kate Middleton's many faces while watching British player Cameron Norrie play at Wimbledon last week.

Or think about Prince William very much breaking royal protocol to drop a casual F-bomb during that same match.

Their eldest son, Prince George, is no different. While attending Wimbledon for the first time this past weekend for the final, the young royal went through a whole range of emotions—and his facial expressions gave Prince Louis during the Jubilee a run for his money.

Sat between his mom and his dad during the Djokovic/Kyrgios match, the eight-year-old royal picked his nose, because he is—after all—eight years old.
