The youngster was then spotted affectionately brushing something of his father's shoulder.

Prince William turned towards his son and appeared to give him a tap on the leg.

As the parade continued, all three children looked towards their father and smiles as he spoke to them.

Meanwhile Kate, who sat next to Princess Charlotte was seen engrossed in conversation with veteran Bernard Morgan.

This comes as thousands of people have already lined The Mall in order to commemorate the end of the war, with many donning patriotic outfits.

Some were spotted draped in Union Jacks while others wore poppy-inspired clothing.

Royal family watch military procession ahead of 80th VE Day anniversary

Troops have begun parading along Whitehall and The Mall, in front of thousands of fans, members of the royal family, veterans, and senior officials.

In a touching moment, King Charles was seen saluting cavalry members as they rode by the stage, set out at the Victoria Monument in front of Buckingham Palace.

The King rose tall to pay his respects to the armed forces, with whom the royal family have such a deep connection with.

The King and Queen said previously they were "looking forward" to the week's events.

The Cenotaph has been draped in a large Union Jack, just as it was 80 years ago when parades flooded the streets across the UK, celebrating the end of the war.

The Royal Family are then also set to make an appearance on the balcony at Buckingham Palace as a flypast of 23 military aircraft, both new and old, takes place at around 1.45pm.

Led by Lancaster bombers from World War Two, the flypast will also feature the iconic Red Arrows.

Sir Keir Starmer will watch on from the gardens of Buckingham Palace alongside the veterans and other senior guests.

The prime minister said this week's events are a reminder that victory was "not just for Britain", as personnel from the US, France and Germany will be among those joining the military procession.

In an open letter to veterans, he said: "VE Day is a chance to acknowledge, again, that our debt to those who achieved it can never fully be repaid."

Following the grand flypast, the King and Queen will host a tea party for veterans and members of the Second World War generation at the palace, starting at around 2pm.

The 30 veterans, and 20 people who lived through the Second World War, will attend the garden party alongside the prime minister, Charles and Camilla.

They will also meet the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal and Sir Tim Laurence, as well as the Duke of Kent during the reception.

Those commemorated include British and Commonwealth Armed Forces veterans from the Royal Navy, the British Army and the Royal Air Force, who will be accompanied by their families and carers.

Also in attendance will be veterans of the Women's Royal Naval Service (Wren), Special Operations Executives, D-Day veterans, and Desert Rats - those who were still in active conflict in other parts of the world after VE Day.

Ensuring the home front is also remembered, there will also be attendees from those who contributed to the war effort within the UK.

10 female veterans who served as vital codebreakers, drivers, and mechanics will join the tea party, including Joyce Wilding, 100, who was in "Churchill's Secret Army", and Ruth Bourne, 98, who served as a Wren at Bletchley Park, intercepting Nazi messages throughout the war.

The royals' appearance today marks the first major event since Prince Harry took part in a bombshell interview with the BBC where he hit out at his dad King Charles and his family.
