Prince George joined Prince William in a traditional festive game of football between Sandringham estate workers and neighbouring villagers that took place before Christmas.
Prince Harry, 40, previously played in the annual match but has been absent since 2016, when it is believed to be the last time the brothers played in the friendly game.
The father and son were on the same team wearing blue, with William sporting the number 18 on his shirt, according to spectators.
From the sidelines, the 11-year-old royal was cheered on by spectators including Princess Kate and his two younger siblings.

An insider told the Sun: “It just looked like healthy father-and-son bonding time.
“There were other children playing and it was all good fun and light-hearted.
“It is nice that they have returned to take part in the traditional game as they haven’t done so for years.
“But it was interesting to see that Harry has now been substituted for Prince George.”
