Sweet moment Prince William brushes Charlotte's hair behind shoulder as she becomes restless

This is the heartwarming moment Prince William tenderly brushed his daughter's hair behind her shoulder during the Platinum Jubilee pageant.

Footage appeared to show the Duke of Cambridge whispering words of reassurance to Princess Charlotte after she started to fidget during the procession.

Kate Middleton and William were kept busy with their children during the royal event on Sunday, with Prince Louis being particularly cheeky to his mum.

The four-year-old blew a raspberry at Kate and wandered over to sit on his granddad's lap after growing restless.

Princess Charlotte also looked sleepy as she stared at the ground while others watched the parade reach Buckingham Palace.

The Duke of Cambridge leaned over to speak to his daughter amid the hubbub of the event.

He whispered something to the young royal and then brushed her hair behind her shoulder after she climbed higher into her chair.

Meanwhile, cheeky Prince Louis was seen trying to cover his mum's mouth and blowing raspberries.

Kate was seen keeping a close eye on her youngest son - who could be seen pulling a series of expressions.

The prince was spotted upturning his own nose with his thumb and wandering over to sit on Prince Charles's lap during the show after growing restless.

He previously had a cheeky encounter with Mike Tindall who could be seen jokily warning the four-year-old to behave.

The young prince was also spotted enthusiastically dancing, before pausing to eat a chocolate biscuit.
