James, the Earl of Wessex, made a rare appearance over the weekend, and royal fans have gone wild. The second child of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, 18, joined his parents in Cirenchester, Gloucester, for the wedding of Peter and Harriet Phillips.

James looked all grown up as he got out of the car and entered the church. He wore a classic black tailcoat, striped trousers and finished the look with a red patterned tie. Royal fans swooned at the sight of the young royal, and many took to social media to express their views.

A third one chimed: “Oh my! Teenage hearts will be aflutter!”

A fourth one commented: “Such a handsome young man. Perfect blend of both his parents. Very tall, just like his grandfather.”
