He chewed the inside of his mouth on one side. Then the other. His eyes darted from Grandad looking tiny under the weight of his golden robes to Granny Camilla trying to stabilise that impossibly sparkly crown.
So much to take in. Great Auntie Anne in her pirate hat, Ant and Dec off the telly, and more outrageous outfits than any children's party.
As there was so much for all of us at that historic event to absorb.
Inside Westminster Abbey I sat surrounded by community volunteers, Commonwealth representatives, frontline workers, and so many of those people who make up the backbone of Britain. Oh, and Katy Perry. We'll get to her later.
But while those invited were there to honour the new King and Queen - it was the young royals who encapsulated them.
George, nine, wore a knee-length scarlet coat with gold trimmings over a white satin waistcoat and lace ruff, along with the King's other pages. But if the outfit wasn't enough of a worry then surely there was also the thought that one day this would be all about him.
Then it'll be King George receiving the jewelled sword of justice, bracelet of sincerity, robe of righteousness, orb representing kingdoms of the world, ring for dignity, glove for gentleness and sceptre for power. Not to mention the heavyweight headgear.
Or perhaps it won't be like this then at all. Perhaps this fantastic spectacle of colour, pageantry and extreme religiosity will become impossible in the muted tones and modes of the modern world.
