Monaco’s 4-year-old Prince Jacques took lessons from the [British royal](http://time.com/5404455/prince-george-soldier/) by being a master spy on Sunday, with sunglasses and all, on his parents’ very important duties.

The three-year-old didn’t appear to be enjoying himself as he was the only one not smiling for his camera in photos with his mother and father, Crown Princess Victoria and Crown Prince Daniel, and his big sister, Princess Estelle.
