On Wednesday, Kensington Palace formally announced they will be acting as bridesmaid and pageboy for the Windsor Castle wedding, along with eight other children specially selected for the occasion. (It appears baby brother, [Prince Louis](http://time.com/5266913/prince-louis-first-photo/), will be staying home.) Prince George and Princess Charlotte are already seasoned stars at formal events, photo ops and political meet-ups, thanks to their family background. From public outings to private parties, George and Charlotte live well-documented lives alongside their equally-popular parents, the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and Prince William. But they seem to have a knack for upstaging their other family members when cameras are flashing. Of course, the [new royal couple](http://time.com/5036452/prince-harry-meghan-markle-relationship-timeline/?iid=sr-link6) in town has been the focus of the latest media frenzy — and the birth of little Prince Louis in the spring also drew attention. But Prince George and Princess Charlotte remain crowd favorites as they continue to grow up. Here’s a quick look back at their best scene-stealing moments as we prepare for their turn in the spotlight at St. George’s Chapel: ### Pippa Middleton’s Wedding  Pippa Middleton (centre R) kisses her new husband James Matthews, following their wedding ceremony at St Mark's Church in Englefield, west of London, on May 20, 2017, as the bridesmaids, including Britain's princess Charlotte (L) and pageboys, including Britain's prince George (2R), walk ahead. JUSTIN TALLIS—AFP/Getty Images For their Aunt Pippa’s wedding to James Matthews [last spring](http://time.com/4787168/pippa-middleton-wedding-charlotte-george/), Charlotte was a bridesmaid and George a pageboy in the procession. So at least Meghan and Harry know that the duo are tested veterans of the wedding circuit — although photographers caught Kate [adorably shushing](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/20/prince-george-princess-charlotte-arrive-pippa-middletons-wedding/) her kids at one point during the day. ### Trooping the Colour  Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge look out from the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the Trooping the Colour parade on June 17, 2017 in London, England. Chris Jackson—Getty Images Prince George especially caught the eye of the press and public after appearing on a Buckingham Palace balcony with the rest of his family during the annual Trooping the Colour parade. His moment of boredom even [became a meme.](http://time.com/4823594/prince-george-trooping-colour/) ### Playing with Balloons in Canada  Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge attend a children's party for Military families during the Royal Tour of Canada on September 29, 2016 in Victoria, Canada. Pool/Samir Hussein—WireImage While on a state visit to Canada with their family, George and Charlotte enjoyed a festive, child-friendly occasion involving copious amounts of [balloons and bubbles](http://time.com/4513546/prince-george-princess-charlotte-balloons-bubbles/) at an event for Canadian military families back in fall 2016\. The joy the two experienced from their surroundings brought happiness to all who witnessed it, if only for the moment, as they made good use of the supplies at their disposal. ### Visiting Poland  William leads George out of the plane at the Warsaw airport. Karwai Tang—Getty Images Prince George is a generally good-tempered kid, but he seemed a bit out of sorts on a [recent family visit](http://time.com/4860616/prince-george-poland/) to Warsaw, Poland, needing his dad to coax him out of the plane and onto the tarmac. Even the official Twitter account of Poland [took to social media](http://time.com/4860616/prince-george-poland/) to reassure the young prince. Charlotte and George also got snapped [peering out](http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/princess-charlotte-and-prince-george-steal-the-show-from-william-and-kate-on-poland-trip/news-story/fa9e4f30fc1c963c13d1d0986114543f) of the plane window together — an adorable sibling moment that the internet went wild for. ### Appreciating Some Helicopters  Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge view helicopter models H145 and H135 before departing from Hamburg airport on the last day of their official visit to Poland and Germany on July 21, 2017 in Hamburg, Germany. Chris Jackson—Getty Images Prince George loves a good helicopter. We know this because of the unabashed enthusiasm he expressed while visiting some helicopters on a tarmac in Hamburg, Germany this summer. What could have been just a run-of-the-mill visit to check out some machinery ended up being an endearing photo op that he shared with his family. But it was George whose good cheer clearly stole the show. ## Transcript [ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] [ CROSSTALK ] How is that?
