It must have happened after all, or the torygraph reporter was at a different Buckingham Palace. From today's edition:
It was indeed a day for the royal children. Standing a few yards away from George, in-between his grandparents, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, was James, Viscount Severn, the seven-year-old son of the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
Neatly turned out in shirt, blazer and tie, he stared intently at the crowds before sticking his fingers in his ear to block out the roar of the fly past of 31 aircraft, including Spitfires and Hurricanes alongside modern Typhoon fighter jets.
