That moment you clock something you can't help but laugh at, like Liam Payne fist bumping in front of the Queen at Westminster Abbey. But you just know your pal is thinking exact same thing.

We’ve all belted out a Bon Jovi classic or two after a couple of drinks (and maybe sober), so imagine what it would be like to get the chance to sing with the actual Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift up on stage. It would probably look a bit like this…

Prince George may not be five yet, but he knows all the life hacks. Like that standing on boxes will make you look more regal and definitely much taller in a royal portrait.

OK, so we're stretching our artistic licence a teeny bit with this one of Kate shopping on the high street back in 2007.

Which is obviously why he came to our attention, and is rising up the ranks of our fave royals.
