- Prince George is occasionally photographed looking less-than-thrilled about royal life.
- He has appeared unimpressed on royal engagements with his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge has perfected a world-weary glare at age 7. He's often caught surveying his surroundings with an expression that says, "Meh."
Not that he's actually unimpressed: We'd wager that George is reacting like any child would if faced with hundreds of strange faces and shuttering paparazzi cameras on a daily basis. But there's something about that frosty gaze on his tiny, angelic features that makes him incomparably adorable.
Here are 20 times when Prince George looked royally unimpressed.
