Lucky Prince George gets to miss a day of school to be pageboy at Princess Eugenie’s wedding

NOT only will Prince George be a pageboy for the third time this year today, but the lucky young royal will also get a three-day weekend.

As it's currently term time at George's school, Thomas's Battersea, the five-year-old will be having the day off to attend his second cousin's wedding.

In a matter of hours, Princess Eugenie will marry her long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle - the same place Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in May.

And while Prince George was a pageboy at Uncle Harry's nuptials, he'll also take on the role today.

Of course, we're sure Prince William and Kate Middleton have sought permission for George to be off school - after all, it is a very special occasion for the young royal.

Earlier this week, the Palace confirmed Prince George would be pageboy along with Princess Charlotte who will be a flower girl today.

Other members of the bridal party include Isla and Savannah Phillips, Mia Tindall and Robbie Williams' daughter Theodora.

And it looks like there'll be two empty seats at Thomas' Battersea today, as Prince George's cousin and classmate Maud Windsor has been confirmed to be a flower girl too.

Five-year-old Maud is the daughter of Lord Frederick Windsor and Sophie Winkleman and is Princess Eugenie's goddaughter.

It's unlikely Kate and Will would be fined for taking George out of class as the young prince attends a private school.

According to , private schools are exempt from fines.

"If your child is at an English state school (private schools are exempt) and aged 5-16, you're unlikely to get permission for a term-time holiday," they write.

For parents with children in state education, if you take your kids out of school you could face a £60 fine which rises to £120 if it's not paid within 21 days.

Figures have revealed 50,414 fines were issued to parents between 2014 and 2015.
