Is there a little party prince in George? Prince William and Duchess Kate's son was apparently in a celebratory mood on Saturday night. He attended Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Concert with his parents and sister, Princess Charlotte. According to British media reports, the eight-year-old proved to be lyrical when he sang along to the hit "Sweet Caroline". Sir Rod Stewart was on the stage at the anniversary celebrations at Buckingham Palace.

Cambridge Family Outing
The fact that George had previously surprisingly performed in Cardiff with his parents and sister was apparently not noticeable to the little royal. In pictures from the evening's event, he could be seen laughing and joking with his father in the Royal Box. In addition to the Cambridge family, many other high-ranking royals such as Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla, Zara and Mike Tindall as well as Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice attended the concert with their husbands.
Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, who were in Northern Ireland on Saturday, watched together with their children Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn as stars such as Alicia Keys, Duran Duran or Craig David performed. Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence were also there. The Queen's eldest grandchild, Peter Phillips, brought his daughters Savannah and Isla to celebrate.
Harry and Meghan are missing
Prince Harry and his wife Duchess Meghan were apparently not at the concert. According to the "Daily Mail" they are said to have watched the event in Windsor with the Queen on TV. During the day, daughter Lilibet's birthday party was on the agenda.
Queen drinking tea with Paddington Bear
The Queen herself was not there but opened the party for her Platinum Jubilee - together with another British icon: Paddington Bear. The Queen showcased her comedic and acting talents in a pre-taped skit that was reportedly aired for attendees at the Buckingham Palace concert in London, according to media reports.
The Queen and Paddington Bear meet in the clip for tea, which the bear drinks straight from the pot. "Maybe you'd like a jam sandwich," Paddington offers afterwards, pulling one out of his hat."I always have one for emergencies." The Queen replies, "Me too. I'll keep mine here for later" - and pulls a sandwich out of her famous purse. "Happy anniversary, ma'am," Paddington says at the end. "And thanks for everything." To which the Queen replies, "That's very kind."
