No matter how much you love your Nan and enjoy celebrating her birthday with a tray of finger sandwiches, a strawberry trifle and a sherry tipple, come 4pm on a Saturday afternoon, boredom inevitably strikes.

You'll start wondering what the cast of Love Island are up to, what alcohol to buy for pre drinks that night, and how many olives you could fit inside your mouth without choking to death.

Fortunately, it looks like we're not the only ones with wandering minds after a while celebrating a golden oldie's birthday, given the look of Prince George's face at Saturday's Trooping the Colour to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

Despite a Royal Air Force flyby and a prime viewing spot from the balcony at Buckingham Palace, the three-year-old appeared adorably distracted.

Here's what we think was going through the little prince's mind on the big day:

1) 'Man, these shorts are tight!'

2) 'I think I have a toffee stuck to my tooth'

3) 'Greetings, my minions. I shall rule your kingdom one day and you shall worship me!'
