The Prince and Princess of Wales were seen taking their children for a fun day out at an air show.

Prince George and his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, toured the Royal International Air Tattoo with their parents as their school holidays began in earnest.

The royal children were treated to a day of jets, helicopters and historic planes.

Future king George, who celebrates his 10th birthday on July 22, sister Charlotte, aged 8, and five-year-old brother Louis have all broken up from their Lambrook School in Berkshire.

William and Kate were all smiles when they arrived with their children at the air show, staged at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and were greeted by Wing Commander Will Essex.

They were greeted by grey skies that brought heavy rain but there were a few aircraft still in the skies before they arrived.

The event was a return visit for George who was taken to the show by his parents in 2016, aged three, and was pictured wearing ear defenders at the time.

The family's first stop was a huge C-17 transporter aircraft, which was used to transport the late Queen's coffin in the days ahead of her funeral last September.

The royal children were dressed for a summer day in light casual clothing and George and Charlotte looked around at the rain-soaked concrete around the huge plane when they stepped from their car.

They shook hands with senior members of the RAF before they were ushered up the huge ramp of the transport plane with their parents.

George was given the task of partially raising the ramp and could be seen pressing the button as his father watched on.

Earlier this week, an adorable video emerged of the moment a young boy met the Princess of Wales during a Wimbledon outing.

The video shows Marcelito Ar valo, three, softly shouting "Hi princess" and waving at the Princess of Wales as she walked past him and his mum.

Upon hearing the young boy, Princess Kate stops to greet him.

"What's your name?" she asks and adds: "Have you had a fun day?"

Marcelito was attending Wimbledon with his parents, Marcelo Ar valo and Lucia Kovarcikova, both 32, when he encountered Princess Kate at the daycare facility.

He had been staying at the daycare while his father Marcelo, a professional player and 2022 Roland Garros men's doubles champion, played at the tournament.

Marcelito's mother, a former tennis coach and beauty store owner, was picking him up from the facility when she asked him if he "wanted to meet a princess".
