The mother-daughter duo shared the knowing look whilePrince Louiswasbriefly out of his seat. Princess Kate andPrince William’s 5-year-old son did not sit through the latter half of the two-hour ceremony, likely due to his age.

However, the little prince returned in plenty of time to exit the abbey with his parents and sister when the church service wrapped andseemed to enjoythe horse-drawncarriage ride backto Buckingham Palace — where the cameras caught all his animated reactions!

The Prince and Princess of Wales are “cognizant that he is old enough to understand what’s going on,” a royal source told previously PEOPLE. But they’re mindful that normal life resumes when George is back at school, where the coronation will likely be the talk of his classmates.

“His parents are very excited and delighted that he is a page,” a spokesperson for the Prince and Princess of Wales told PEOPLE before the big day. “It’s something that his parents have thought long and hard about and are very much looking forward to — and I’m sure George is too.”
