The moment Prince George is pushed down a hill by his older cousin Savannah

DAYS after cheeky Savannah Phillips forcibly shushed her cousin, Prince George, she’s been riding roughshod on him again, pushing the young royal down a grassy hill.

Savannah Phillips pushes Prince George

THIS is the moment Prince George’s cousin pushed him down a hill — days after shushing him on Bucking Palace’s balcony.

Cheeky Savannah Phillips was spotted shoving the four-year-old, sending him tumbling down the grass, as the royal family gathered to watch the polo over the weekend, reports The Sun.

Prince George was seen sliding down the grassy hill, with his cousin — who is the fifteenth-in-line to the throne — quickly told off by her mum Autumn.

But the young royal didn’t seem fazed, continuing to enjoy himself as dad the Duke of Cambridge played in the Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy at Beaufort Polo Club in Gloucestershire.

It was another gusty move by seven-year-old Savannah, who was seen covering the mouth of the future King of England as they celebrated the Queen’s birthday.

Despite the drama, the royal family seemed to enjoy themselves on the day out, with the kids making the most of the sunny day.

Adorable Princess Charlotte, three, was seen doing somersaults as she showed off to her giggling mum — and tearing across the fields in her bare feet after her older brother.

She was also pictured being cuddled by doting Kate as the family relaxed on the sidelines.

Earlier Kate, 36, comforted tearful George as he became overwhelmed with excitement — but the young prince was soon mucking about once again.

It is unclear if he was upset over the incident involving Savannah.

The young girl is the Queen’s great-granddaughter, daughter of Autumn and Peter Phillips, who is son of Princess Anne.

When she was first born, Savannah was 12th in line to the throne but has since been demoted to 15th following the arrival of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and little Prince Louis.

Despite being included in the order of succession, Savannah does not hold a royal title.

This is all because Princess Anne and her husband Captain Mark Phillips rejected the Queen’s offer of a royal title for their son Peter when he was born in 1977.

They feared that a Royal title would prevent him and his family from leading a normal life.

Although Savannah attends large Royal events, the Phillips lead a very private family life and live in London.

The polo match over the weekend was in aid of two charities close to the prince’s heart — the Royal Marsden Hopsital, which the Duke supports as president, and homeless charity Centrepoint, of which he is patron.

Sunday’s match was part of a series of charitable polo matches that the Duke and Prince Harry will play in this summer.

The two brothers have taken part in polo fixtures in support of their charities since 2007, and have continued each year since, raising over £11 million (A$19 million) for charitable causes to date.
