EAGLE-EYED royal fans are all saying the same thing about Prince George’s quiet chat with his dad William as they headed to Wimbledon.
The future king, eight, joined the Duke and Duchess in the royal box at Centre Court for his first ever tennis match in the sweltering heat.
But even before he was hit by the feverish tensions courtside, Prince George was struggling with the soaring temperatures.
A video shows the smartly dressed youngster arriving to the final with his mother Kate Middleton before greeting tennis officials.
But donning a posh blue suit, shirt and tie in the blazing sunshine had taken its toll on the eight-year-old.
Despite politely grinning and baring it to deliver an array of formal handshakes, George then complained he was “too hot” in his outfit.

He admitted he was struggling with the heat after hugging his father Prince William, who tenderly asked him was he feeling okay.
The future king kept his composure in front of All England Club chairman Ian Hewitt, before taking solace in his dad’s presence.
In the clip, Will’s can be heard checking up on his eldest child after embracing him in front of a beaming Kate.
But as the trio walked further into the building, George revealed he was “too hot” in his classy clobber as the mercury hit 28C.

As William strokes George’s hair, the eight-year-old quietly tells his dad: “[It’s] too hot.”
Expressing concern, William then replied: “Oh you’re hot, are you? It’s very warm today […] It’ll be fine.”
The Duchess of Cambridge can then be heard telling the Prince to avoid sitting “in the bright sunshine”, before reassuring him they are “often in the shade”.
Fans of the royal family were quick to spot the discreet exchange between George and Wills and expressed concern for the youngster.
One wrote: “Prince George looks very smart but could he not have been dressed more casually as it’s so hot?”
Another added: “Feel a bit sorry for Prince George having to sit through the Wimbledon men’s singles final.
“It could go on for hours and in this heat too!!!”
And a third said: “A tie! A jacket! In summer sun. Hope he’s having fun.
“But I wonder … some traditions hold up better when they change to go with the times and weather.”
And a fourth commented: “Is Prince George not overheating in that cute little suit?”
Despite Brits applauding the future king for abiding by the All England Club’s formal dress code, Royal Editor Robert Jobson said nobody would have minded George dressing casually to be cooler.
But the eight-year-old soon brushed off any thought of the scorching sunshine after being mesmerized by the men’s final match.
He saw fiery Australian Nick Kyrgios take on Serbia’s cool operator Novak Djokovic.

George was left open-mouthed when Kyrgios used the F-word while standing in front of the royal box after losing a point on his serve.
Kyrgios was later fined £3,325 for “audible obscenity”, while Djokovic went on to clinch his fourth Wimbledon title in a row.
