QuoteAt just eight months old, the Prince had the eyes of the world upon him as the family arrived in New Zealand.
And he looked to be coping with the attention well as he calmly faced the media as the Royals touched down in Wellington International airport.
He has only been photographed in public on a small handful of occasions - most notably when his proud parents introduced him to the world's press outside the hospital where he was born.
There are likely to be a number of photos from the tour which will document the Prince's first Royal trip.
William and Kate will be staying in the Wellington area, where they will have a break from their engagements tomorrow.
On Wednesday, they will be joined by George at an event attended by nurses, parents and young children from the Plunket parents' group.

[mod]Brought together all the George threads on the Oz trip. Post away! [/mod]
I liked the coat too :blowkiss: at least it's not beige .
Did anyone feel the way Kate held George was wrong while I was reading comments the criticism was heavy on how she held George , plus some added comments from my mum who literally demonstrated with a pillow saying the babies head should face the back with the child leaning on her shoulder ...idk for me it was fine , I've held babies like that so ... :shrug:
George is feisty but it comes accross as they not being used to holding him much and Kate being the one brave enough to try, William doesn't even try to hold his baby, oddly enough...
We don't know how much Kate holds her baby, nor do we know that William doesn't try to hold him. Didn't we see William holding him at his Christening?
As for how Kate is holding him, we don't know anything about that, either. If he were younger, Kate holding him towards her would be appropriate, but at his age, he doesn't need to rest his head on his mother's shoulder ... he's old enough to hold it up himself. Perhaps that's the way he prefers being held ... maybe he likes seeing where he's going.

George looks like a feisty little guy. Even when Kate held him with his legs and hips toward her, his little body twisted around to see where he was going. I think he must like to be held facing forward.
He's obviously not an infant whose head needs to be supported all the time. He looks to be a big, healthy baby, and he wants to see what's going on. I love babies like that!
He's adorable!
No question who the father is... He is the spitting image of William!
I think he looks exactly like Kate:

:hug: Yes, but neither he nor Kate looked very comfortable or at ease holding him the day of the Christening, maybe they were nervous he would get rambunctious any minute, he does look quite feisty! :happy15:
She is his mother.
She ,like goodmothers, knowtheir kids.
I think she was holding him. Babies his age cannot miss a thing!!!!
The wind blowing. People. They are nosy little beings and cannot miss a thing, LOL!!
They have to see everything all the time.
He is a cute baby as babies are . He is a big boy!!!
With K in heels and going down the steps and smiling, yeah, maybe a stroller so he could see would have been ok.
No , she did not make amistep.
If she would have, PW would have caught her, but she would have gladly taken a broken leg or anything happening to her baby. She also would have held onto to him so tightly as paretns do. You might fall, but your child will not fall.
The christening pics were good.
The best one was the one with K and PW looking down at him and he looking up clearly smiling at his mother. he , no doubt , knows his mother.
No doubt, he knows his grandparents Mids very well too.
Just like babies we know in our real lives , I bet if you saw him in private and his grandparents Mids were there, he would smile, reach out his cubby baby arms for them. When he sees his mother or PW, no doubt,he smiles and reaches out for them.
Take at the end of each of the toour days, when the nanny has him and the D and D of Cam return , you bet he smiles and reaches out for them.
Aside from BRF thing, it is a case of simply a baby and his parents.
QuoteAt just eight months old Prince George is already stealing the limelight away from his parents as he gets his first taste of the spot light as they embark on their tour of New Zealand and Australia.
However while the presence of the future king is clearly delighting the crowds, and no doubt giving great joy to his doting parents, such a long and arduous schedule is likely to take its toll on the youngster.
His parents possible worry about how their son will handle the tour will be exacerbated by the fact that he is teething - with several gnashers clearly visible as he smiled and gurgled at Wellington Military Terminal on the first day of their official tour to Australia.

William and Kate landed in Wellington this morning, and made their way to the the grand property, where they will occupy a guest suite next to eight-month-old Prince George, who will have his own room.
Outside the 45,000sq-ft property, the royal couple were treated to a traditional Maori greeting on the lawn of Government House, which underwent a two-year £22m makeover, reopening 2011.

IMO, I think the negative comments are greatly reduced when the media reports concentrate on George versus William... This gap year and Kate's lack of work have done their reputations no favors, their dedicated fans obviously see no fault in them, unfortunately, they are not the only newspaper readers... I think it is a case of subtly hailing George as the savior of the Monarchy because calling William the future King generates the kind of comments that neither the Royal reporters nor the Palace wants. Focus on Future King George, get good pr and get much more pro-Monarchy good vibes than William would get... Adding to the fact that although pr savy and polite William does not have the charisma his mother had just the goodwill from being her son...

Prince George to carry out first royal engagement
QuoteHE only has two bottom front teeth so far but Prince George is set to undertake his first official royal engagement tomorrow at the tender age of only eight months after taking the world by storm.
As an introduction to the life of duty that awaits him, the importance of the occasion will certainly go over his head but it will be closely followed around the planet.
The future King and his parents will get to meet 10 other sets of parents and their children - six girls and four boys all born around the same time as George - at a party inside Government House in Wellington to celebrate the work of the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society, a child welfare charity.

QuotePrince George's First Royal Tour: The Kid's a Natural
He can't even walk yet but Prince George took a momentous step on Monday in what's set to be a lifetime of royal duties.
When he arrived in Wellington, New Zealand, he was carried off the plane by his ever-glamorous mother and greeted by a long a line of dignitaries, including Prime Minister John Key. This was Prince George's first official public engagement and he wasn't in the slightest bit fazed by it, despite the epic journey from London. He was perfectly happy, a natural.
This is a family not just born into monarchy, but made for it. And if things carry on like this for the rest of their visit Down Under, the Republican movements in both New Zealand and Australia may have some catching up to do.

Kate and William's unusual decision to base their tour around three main hubs in Wellington, Sydney and Canberra, rather than changing location daily, is thought to be an attempt to minimise the trauma on the baby Prince.

QuoteNew Zealand Royal Visit: Day One
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in New Zealand with baby Prince George for the beginning of their Royal visit.
Grey misty clouds and drizzle greeted Their Royal Highnesses as they arrived at Wellington International Airport but eight-month-old Prince George seemed oblivious to the cold conditions and waved his arms and legs.
Prime Minister John Key was waiting on the tarmac to greet Their Royal Highnesses but they received the full splendour of a traditional Maori welcome at nearby Government House, the official residence of the Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae.
The Duke of Cambridge was the first to perform a hongi - a traditional Maori greeting where noses are pressed together and a breath is symbolically exchanged - with two Maori elders and cultural adviser Lewis Moeau and Hiria Hape. The Duchess smiled broadly as she followed suit.

Prince George will carry out his debut public engagement tomorrow at a parent and baby group – meeting everyone from a single mother to a gay couple.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will take their eight-month-old son to a playgroup at Government House, the home of the Governor-General in Wellington, organised by the parent support organisation Plunket.
All of the babies who will meet Prince George were born within a few weeks of his birthday on July 22 last year.
The lucky ten families who have been chosen to meet the Cambridges spoke of their excitement today and said they were looking forward to swapping anecdotes about the trials and tribulations of being first-time parents.
I see all the excitementt about seeing George, even though he is abroad... Do the people off the UK really not care at all, that the people of New Zealand and Australia will get to spend time with Prince George while they have gotten 3 posed pictures in the 8 months since his birth and that the people of the UK, the country he will be King of, will never, ever spend time with him or see him like this in his own country, the one he will be King of? If the issue were privacy, then he shouldn't be parading Down Under in the first place, so clearly the issue is, PR...
The people in the UK will have many years, many decades, with Prince George. They surely realize this, since there hasn't been a great uprising about his being in New Zealand and Australia.
Cindy
The Queen has visited Australia 16 times and Canada 22 times, HM considers tours to her realms to be of the utmost importance.
Hence the reason she she will be keeping a close eye on W&K down under, just like she did in Canada.
So I see she showed the World her private parts AGAIN , the Republican movement in New Zealand has gained momentum and there were practically no people waiting for them what a mess ... but glad to see the PR prop baby doesn't work in THE REAL WORLD ...

William on the other hand....I'm sorry, but he needs to be seen holding his son and interacting with him.
Also, ETA, but George looks eerily like my step-sister's son.
^^ It's like he's not even a part of the family photo I posted of them with the bear. He's a full step away. :no:

The eight-month-old was brought along by his clearly proud parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, to the 'playdate' organised by The Royal New Zealand Plunket Society at Government House in Wellington.
Following his scene-stealing appearance on Monday when the family arrived in New Zealand to begin their three week tour Down Under, all eyes were on the future king as he was introduced to ten babies born within a few weeks of his own birthday, on July 22 last year.

Prince George Performs First Royal Duty – a Playdate

What a little chunker :hehe:
what a little chubster!! i just want to pinch his cheeks :hug:
Apart from his nose( he has his dad's nose) and the light hair, he is the image of his mother. Are his eyes brown or dark green? I can't really make out from the pictures.
QuoteHe may have inherited his mother's eye colour, but otherwise Prince George is very much his father's son, as the world had a chance to see yesterday when he arrived in New Zealand.
The eight month-old future king bore a striking resemblance to Prince William at a similar age when he, too, visited Australasia with his parents.
George, who has not attended an official event since his christening in October, has inherited the Duke of Cambridge's hair colour, chubby cheeks and round face, but while the Duke has blue eyes his son has brown eyes like the Duchess of Cambridge.

QuotePrince George's First Royal Engagement Simply Child's Play (Video)
Proud parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge look on as eight-month-old Prince George takes part in the world's most exclusive playgroup at The Royal New Zealand Plunket Society in Wellington
Prince George took his first major royal engagement entirely in his stride, or in his crawl, to be precise, as he joined 10 other babies at the world's most exclusive playgroup.
The eight-month-old showed that he has become mobile a full month earlier than his father did, as he crawled around a plush carpet littered with toys.

QuoteBaby's Day Out! Prince George Enjoys First Royal Engagement at New Zealand Playdate
The eight-month-old future King and his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went to a party with 10 other babies organised by the New Zealand child welfare charity Plunket at the Governor General's residence, Government House, in Wellington.
Kicking his legs and waving his arms with excitement when he spotted toys on the floor, the third in line to the throne, who was bigger than most of his peers, got down for a crawl around and promptly made a little girl called Paige Stevens cry after taking a wooden doll from her.
He bashed one baby accidentally while trying to stroke her face. But the little Prince soon discovered that what goes around comes around: another girl took a toy from him, though he didn't seem too bothered.

Yes! Seeing the videos was wonderful. I love babies and pets that aren't boring. Contrary to other parents, it was a blast! Before I saw these videos, I really didn't warm up to him but he's never still! How cool is that!
Cuteness overload! George is a very adorable little one and appears to be quite a bonny baby too. It looks like he had fun with with the other babies and I particularly liked the anecdotes about George meeting his new friends. The second video made me smile. :vday2:

He is a little cutie-pie. So are the other bambinos in the room....aww....takes me back...all that scrabbling around, messing with my hair. Now, my three just ignore me :(
^^ Aw, SC, you must have done a good job raising rambunctious babies into independent children! :blowkiss:
LOOL,at Sophie. I hear you . I am not a parent, but yeah, kids change. Nah, underneath it all ... your three kids still love'ya!!!
Tht part is still the same...(they jsut don't always show it).
G is a cutie baby like all babies. All the Lil Muchkins there were too cute.
Funny pix: G is just a baby of course...totally innocent of all his life is about, his destiny.
All in all, he is just a baby who saw other babies and like all the babies liked the toys , crawling, and looking and wondering at each other. All in all, he like other babies sure knows his Mama. All of his Mama. Her hair pull...too funny and so real. Good for K to be real and move his lil hands right away for photo opp. That is HER baby!
Proof of him and W n K, they know their baby and he knows them.
Ms. Spainish Nanny will be a wonderful babysitter. She will care for him when his mother and father are working, which is not often.Ok, LOL, sorry for going there.
Also, G's grandparents and I am sure his Aunt Pippa will often babysit him too.
What I am saying is K and W will parent their child and not TPTB, the nanny,etc.
Very good of W and K.
May I say, bittersweet. Princess Diana would have you know to have seen that child.
Anyone here who has lost a parent to their children which would be the children's grandparent knows what I mean.
PW ,I think new , his mother was a hands-on mother, real mother tp him and he picked a good girli K to do the same. He seems also to be a hands-on father. Maybe in WnK's world there is a majoirty of them who parent this way instead of the old way of their parents.

Not one bit.

QuotePrince George's Body Language Spoke Volumes at His First Royal 'Meet and Greet' - and Every Movement Revealed a Baby Destined to be King, Says Body Language Expert
He may not yet be able to talk, but Prince George's body language spoke volumes at his first royal 'meet and greet': and every movement revealed a baby destined to be King.
As an expert on body language – I've written 26 books on the subject – I've been following the royal family for over 30 years and I have been riveted by these images of George.
Clearly a calm, extremely sociable and very self-confident baby, he's not just happy to be the centre of attention - he absolutely revels in it.
It's such a contrast to the images 31 years ago of the William's first tour of Australia. Although he was a month older than his son is now, his body language betrayed an underlying shyness and anxiety.

William looked perfectly happy as a baby, of course in restrospect, one may attribute all one knows... What nonsense... George looks quite happy as well, and quite spoilt taking the other children's toys leaving the other children not so joyful while his mother smiles happily... William smiled a lot more than he though in pictures, George is more often grumpy but his statements on a canvas are quite a bizarre way of saying Kate and William are great parents and have a great marriage and William's parents were crappy and so forth... :Lothwen: What is wrong with people...?

If not, hopefully, they said a funny built-in quip long the lines, babies are babies or took it from their son and gave they toy to the baby who had it before.

Protocol doesn't keep them from apologizing, but they didn't even though George was taking the toys from all the kids there... However, people are so impressed with being in the same room with anyone famous... :blank:

Royal tour: Duchess of Cambridge visits children's hospice
Cute little bike shirt.
I understand that it's customary to give the royals gifts when they do a tour like this, but I wish the money would be spent in some other way. A donation to one of their charities, perhaps. Then I would be more comfortable in thinking that the expense of a tour like this actually did some good.
I agree, Jenee. The money would be much better served elsewhere. I think people like to give flowers and gifts, though, because they feel it gives them a personal connection with the Royal. On the other hand, I'm sure many of the gifts are given to hospitals, like flowers are, so they most likely do serve a purpose in the end.

I know he'll be king some day, but is it typical to psychoanalyze an eight month old?

I agree with both of you. I do think the flowers are given to a hospital, but as I was watching the livestream, I was trying to think of what I'd bring if I went to a walkabout besides flowers. I finally settled on a local cookbook. :shrug:

George is a typical baby, but because he's future King at the moment, everything he does is going to be looked at as "proof" he's "meant to be King" (at least by some people).

The Duchess of Cambridge reveals that the Prince doesn't enjoy eating his vegetables
QuotePrince George doesn't like eating his greens, the Duchess of Cambridge told children today, so she has to get them into his food by stealth.
During a visit to a children's hospice, Lee Thompson, 14, asked the Duchess if she ate all her vegetables.
She said: "The Duchess laughed and said she did, but it was a problem getting George to eat them. She said she and William had to mash up all his vegetables so he wouldn't notice."
The Duchess was visiting the Rainbow Hospice in Hamilton for her first solo engagement of the royal tour of New Zealand.

^ I totally agree : routine, routine, routine :thumbsup:
However, such a shame George's parents were not that concerned with his
routine whilst on holiday in the Maldives...sunning themselves. Sorry, but that to me - blew their caring and devoted parents concerns out of the KP windows. There is no way I'd leave my baby behind to sunbathe and then drag him across to the other side of the world as a PR prop. No way, no how :sneeze:
Perhaps it is just me...... :vday4:
Likely his grandparents were given an update on his nap times, feeding schedule and favorite stories before they left on vacation. :)
It's not the same. How could they just leave him in Bucklebury and drag across to the other side of the world. Does not make sense to me :truce:
Some parents do it, I understand. But to paint them as being loving and devoted parents, and the need to get back to George (same boy has a Nanny) - I refuse to buy into. Sorry :flower: :hug: :vday4:
A bit of fun and another excuse to see HRH Prince George of Cambridge
QuotePrince George of Cambridge is many things: Chubby. Blond. Son of the future King and Queen. But above all, he is very, very rich. Keeping that in mind, we couldn't help but be shocked to discover this baby's Instagram feed, @RichBabiesOfInstagram.
Dozens of personal photos, all taken during his official tour of Australia and New Zealand alongside his parents, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William.
Take a look through some of the pics and ridiculous captions Prince George had the gall to post this week, and just hope that Queen Elizabeth still hasn't updated the iOS on her iPhone to see any of these, or there will be real trouble.

QuoteIf royal visits are judged by the size of the welcoming crowds, positive headlines and the number of gifts received then the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's tour of New Zealand has been a resounding success.
Wherever William and Kate have visited Kiwis have shown their affection by screaming, handing over presents and waiting for hours to shake the hands of their visitors.
But the real star of the tour has been their eight-month-old son Prince George whose appearance at a playgroup in Wellington left the Kiwis in raptures.
The Prince's antics crawling, playing with toys and tugging on his mother's hair showed the future king was in many ways just like any other baby - albeit growing up in front of the world's media.
George's face has graced news stands across New Zealand with papers and magazines giving front page coverage to the future king.
Women's Day magazine dubbed him "His Royal Cuteness" on its front cover, which also featured images of the Duchess under the headline "Our Queen of Hearts".
Glossy women's title New Idea also made the royal mother and son their cover story, and summed up their impact with the headlines "Kate and Prince George Take New Zealand by Storm" and "Prince of our hearts".

QuoteNew Zealand Royal Visit: Day Eight
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge swung into action today when they took part in an impromptu game of cricket.
Their Royal Highnesses showed of their batting and bowling skills when they joined a group of young people and former sports stars promoting the 2015 Cricket World Cup in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Duke and Duchess were in Christchurch to carry out a number of engagements but the main focus was to pay their respects to victims of the devastating earthquake which struck the city on 22nd February 2011 leaving more than 180 people dead, and to learn about the reconstruction efforts.
The Duke, who visited the city soon after the natural disaster struck, gave a speech during the day and described how they were moved by reminders of the earthquake and praised the "resilience and adaptability'' of the people.

QuoteA Speech by HRH The Duke of Cambridge at Government House, Wellington, New Zealand
Thank you also for hosting Catherine, George and me during our time in New Zealand. I hope that George doesn't keep you up! He's at his most vocal at 3am, as you may have noticed - I swear I heard him doing the haka this morning. He's a bonny lad and you'll be pleased to know that he's currently preparing for life as a prop forward!
I cannot tell you how happy I am to be back here in God's Own Country – as I have learned to call it – and this time with my wife and son.
When I returned to New Zealand for the first time as an adult in 2005, I came mainly to watch the All Blacks against the British and Irish Lions – the best way to be introduced to this sports-passionate nation.

QuoteA Speech by HRH The Duke of Cambridge at Wigram Air Force Museum
As you all know, this is Catherine's first visit to New Zealand, and the two of us could not be more grateful for the way in which we have been made to feel so very welcome. There have been many highlights from the past ten days in this beautiful country - Catherine beating me at sailing does not count amongst them, not for me anyway.
There have been a number of moving reminders this week of harder days in New Zealand's past - particularly poignant during this centenary year of the start of World War One. The war memorials at Blenheim and Cambridge stand in simple tribute to the selflessness of those who have gone before in this great nation, sacrificing all they have for their descendants.
Here in Christchurch, I recall in 2011 hearing first hand about the courage of ordinary members of the public, first responders, the Student Army and many others in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes. Both Catherine and I have found ourselves moved this morning by the reminders of how awful the second earthquake was, striking as it did out of the blue in the middle of an ordinary day.

QuoteHere at The Fabulist, we like to find style inspiration in everything.
And while, yes, there are the obvious sources of style inspiration (fashion shows, Paris, Kate Middleton), there are also the not-so-obvious ones. And those can be the most fun.
So, we're pleased to introduce our Monday Muse feature, where we celebrate our "muse," aka our current source of style inspiration. Our very first muse is a young, on-trend tastemaker with some serious sartorial sense.
And when we say young, we mean he hasn't celebrated his first birthday yet.
Prince George has undoubtedly had a major impact on the 18-months and under fashion crowd. From sailboat coveralls to kangaroo backpacks, the royal baby isn't afraid to buck trends and take risks.

We're going to agree to disagree and that is perfectly fine. :hug:
Now just read at another forum about two of the most neglectful royal parents. Apparently in the late 60's/early 70's this princely couple were going through a bout of marital strife. Each had their own set of lovers and enjoyed their own lives immensely, but were not so interested in their 3 children. One Christmas the couple had gone their separate ways to spend the holiday with their paramours. Their butler was locking up the house before he and the staff departed. He discovered the 3 children in their nursery. No arrangements had been made for them by either parent. The butler took the kids home to his own family so they could have a Christmas with someone. Later the kids were all sent to boarding schools and rarely saw their parents. :no:
First babies, now puppies? What won't this royal couple stop at? :PR:

So adorable!
Quite a full day . Love that Phil Dampier was honest and did not think the crowds were as big as expected . They had a lot of people but I do not think it was on the same level as Charles and Diana. So far I have not heard an estimate of the crowd . Also the Opera House is a Mecca for crowds . They were an added attraction Do think she looked great in the yellow dress Does anyone else think George ' Shaun has a tint of red

QuotePrince George may only be eight months old but his style is already causing a stir on social media.
The young prince looked dapper in his nautically themed romper suit as he disembarked an Australian Airforce jet in Sydney on Wednesday.
Keen royal watchers noticed that the suit was very similar to an outfit his father Prince William was photographed wearing as a baby, sitting on his late mother Princess Diana's lap at Kensington Palace on February 1, 1983.

Thank you to all who have contributed to the tour threads. Looks like the Cambridges have experienced the full spectrum of fall weather in NZ. Glad to see that the crowds greeting them in Sydney were not being drenched.
The George effect gathers pace: Romper suit - which looks just like one William once wore - sells out instantly and now has waiting list of two months
QuoteSorry, Kate, you've officially been replaced as the nation's most emulated style icon by your 8-month-old baby boy.
Much like his mother, Prince George is already proving to be something of a trendsetter with his choice of outfits. Designers of the clothes he has worn on his first Royal Tour are reporting a huge surge in sales thanks to the 'George effect' and it's showing no sign of abating.
Today sees the tiny trendsetter strike again as the Annafie romper suit he wore on his arrival in Sydney earlier appears to be totally sold out, with negative stock in all sizes and shipping times of 2 months.

Little George is an adorable baby and I love how chunky he is. :vday4: It would be so cute to get to hold him, but I know that will never happen to me! I have to say, I thought is romper suit was a little old fashioned, like something William or even Charles might have worn when they were his age. His second outfit was better, I love those navy shoes and they look perfect for exploring.

QuoteFrom their first public appearance together, when she walked out of the hospital cradling her newborn son, we've barely seen the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George separated.
But today, for the first time, baby George was pictured not in the arms of doting mother Kate but in those of his new nanny, 43-year-old Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo - and he looked less than impressed.
The 8-month-old prince pulled an adorably grumpy face as Maria Teresa carried him to the car upon the family's arrival in Sydney today.

I find dressing up the baby in clothes almost exactly like Diana dressed William while they are on the same Tour Diana did with William at the same age as George, a little :unsure: disturbing...
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/04/16/article-2605878-1D23712200000578-496_634x892.jpg

It started with the ring and just goes on and on . I dislike that Diana is gone and now on this tour ( part 2 of 1983 ) it is ok to mention her because she is still remember there with great affection . The reporters who call her the The New People 's Princess are just wild . Also Will said in their engagement interview Kate was her own person so why this ? I wish I had bet that George would have had a similar outfit on it . Also there were a lot of people at the Opera House but it is a tourist attraction If you look at the ones from 1983 there is no comparison. Having said that so far the Oz trip is less about them trying out for the Olympics . Also like her dress today hate the shoes , I can not even walk with shoes like that in my house . Actually took a pair back . She looks good in the pics on twitter ( not as good as the photoshop ones ) The thing that is bad on the untouched ones is that black eyeliner
They are trying to present her as the Duchess and mother of a future King Think I have been looking at these pics too much because Will looks much better than usual to me Not upstanding that at all
Maybe because there are less pics of him and Kate's bright green dress impaired my vision George is a riot has he smiled yet . Wait till that happens

QuotePrince George Receives His First Marriage Proposal from Young Fan
Prince George has many admirers but on his last day in New Zealand the young royal received his first marriage proposal. As the eight-month-old left Wellington, New Zealand, a young fan used a cute T-shirt to show the Prince her intentions.
Ruby Cate Blitz's T-shirt read "Marry Me George" and the little toddler grinned happily as she held tight to a British flag.
Unfortunately the young royal wasn't at the event in Wellington, New Zealand to give Ruby an answer but Prince William has already spoken of how his young son has yet to speak his first words yet, so we think it's safe to assume the young girl wouldn't have received the answer she was looking for.

I loved the pic of sleepy him rubbing his head in her neck.
Diana was a hands on Mama and her babes sure knew their Mama. The ones here with W looked up at her, all smiles...
The thing that I do not understand is Will and Kate are on a 3 week tour , Diana and Charles were I think gone on this tour for 6 weeks and yet look at all the pics of George . We still have the Zoo event and him leaving . I do not recall seeing this many pics from Will's first visit as a baby . Just curious but for all the hiding of this baby and Will's feelings for press and the disappearance of this couple why this . Never mind the kid sells he sells his parents and the Monarch
^^ There weren't so many outlets for releasing pictures in the 80's as they are today. There was no Internet for the general public, so no forums or Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, not to mention not nearly as many print magazines and online news sites. It's just a sign of the times....
QuotePrince William Delights Aussies with Talk of Prince George’s First Word
The Duke of Cambridge has delighted Australians by suggesting Prince George’s first word might be “bilby” - the name of a native marsupial he will meet later this week.
Prince George, who made his first official appearance in Australia when he was carried off an aircraft at Sydney airport this morning, will next be seen at the city’s Taronga Zoo on Sunday when he will be introduced to a bilby named after him.
In a speech to city dignitaries at Sydney Opera House, the Duke said: “George is now busy forging his own link with Australia. I suspect George’s first word might be ‘bilby’ – only because ‘koala’ is harder to say. We really look forward to our time here together as a family.”

QuoteThough we're just a few days into the royal family's tour of Australia and New Zealand, the star of the trip has already become clear: he's eight months old, he's single-handedly brought moniker-flaunting clothing back into vogue, and—like his mother—he is seemingly incapable of taking a bad photograph. Let's take a look at George's most adorable moments during the royal tour so far.

The thing that I do not understand is Will and Kate are on a 3 week tour , Diana and Charles were I think gone on this tour for 6 weeks and yet look at all the pics of George . We still have the Zoo event and him leaving . I do not recall seeing this many pics from Will's first visit as a baby . Just curious but for all the hiding of this baby and Will's feelings for press and the disappearance of this couple why this . Never mind the kid sells he sells his parents and the Monarch
True the times then were totally different in terms of media /information age which is of today.
PW and K want,have said they want their child to be and live in a more private way. He is a baby now so on this tour they have him front and center and really joining the tour. I wonder when they return back to their home country, will they have more pictures of PG out. Before they tour, there were really only about five pictures of him .
he is who he is and as a young child, he needs to be out there. It is his life.
PW and PH,per Diana , had a private childhood, but she had them learning the ropes of walkabouts, the balcony, early on. Private times of PW entering Kindergarten was not in pix in the school,but of him enterting his first day.
^^ I don't remember either of the Cambridges saying that they want George to live in a more private way. I think we've all deduced that from the fact that we don't see him that often. When William and Harry were George's age, we didn't see them much, either. Diana did take them on walkabouts, but not until they were old enough to have some sense of what was going on. While it's good that George is getting an opportunity to realize that he will be surrounded by people (strangers to him) all his life, at his age right now, he has no idea why.
Cindy
I wonder if they'll put George in nursery school when he gets a little older. At the play group, Kate mentioned that there weren't many opportunities for him to interact with children his own age.
She actually said he has play dates, but not with as many children. I hope they do send him to nursery school where he can interact with other children. The other alternative, I suppose, would be home schooling. Given his future, that probably wouldn't be the best for him.
Cindy
Both William and Catherine were educated at the best Independent schools in Britain. After nursery school Prince George will probably attend the pre-preparatory Wetherby School like his father and then it will be off to either Ludgrove School like William or St Andrews School Pangbourne, Kate's alma mater.
^You are probably right. Boarding school will raise Kate and William's kids.
Cindy, that was mentioned in some post here repeated from media. I do not remember if W said that or the media made it up.
PG is not in his childhood. I said childhood. He is in infancy now. A baby. About to be a toddler. Of course, as a baby and toddler, he will do walkabouts , stand on the balcony and wave. etc.
PW and PH as children in their childhoods did these things and were photographed at the first day of first school....on vacation with their parents with K and Q of Spain.
Yes,Jenne and others, no doubt boarding school when he is in his young childhood. that is how there world works and he will be with his peers of his world and making friendships with those just as PH and PW did.
Boarding school isodd to me and for a young child of 2nd. 3rd grade. I do not what is the same for you guys.

I see boarding school in George's future, but they might start him later. I believe that William was about 8 when he first went to Ludgrove. William and Kate could delay that until he's a little older.
I don't believe that Louise has begun boarding school though it is offered at St. George's School Windsor where she currently attends.
Her older cousin Eugenie also attended the same school.
QuoteThree Cheers for This Little Babe In Arms
The scrumptious royal baby wowing Australia this week couldn't possibly have looked more delicious when he landed in Sydney with William and Kate.
Cutely dressed in a white romper suit he bounced up and down in his dad's arms, waving his pudgy fists like little pistons. He is impossibly gorgeous and the Queen must be glowing with pride in the knowledge that the "George effect" has done wonders for the monarchy in Oz.

Quite the catch: Prince George has already received TWO marriage proposals
QuoteHE may only be eight months old but Prince George is turning into the world's most eligible bachelor with not one but TWO marriage proposals.
The third in line to the throne has had the little ladies throwing themselves at him during his first royal trip Down Under.
Today 10-month-old Grace Farrelly wore a pink babygrow with the words "Mary Me George" in Brisbane, Australia.
But she has a rival for her affections in the form of 11-month-old Ruby Cate Blitz, who popped the question via a white T-shirt last week in Wellington, New Zealand.

Quote
These pictures show the future King's first royal grin.
Earlier today he was carried by his mother and father through the zoo and giggled as he met a bilby, Australia's version of the Easter Bunny, who has also been named George in honour of the young Royal.
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge officially opened the Prince George Bilby Exhibit at the Sydney landmark, Taronga Zoo.
He's still grumpy very grumpy unsociable child <_<
George is adorable and he looks to be a handful. I can understand why he was described as 'a bit of a bruiser' during his visit to the playgroup. :D I loved how he was so curious around the bilby. :vday2:
Prince George is really adorable. He looks like he is just weeks away from walking and doesn't like to be held as much and wants to be on the ground doing his own thing. My nephew had ants in his pants when he was George's age.
He's an active boy and seems very content IMO. His parents and the zoo staff are conducting a brief ceremony to name the enclosure and he could care less about the speech. William is doing his best to keep him distracted while the unveiling takes place. I believe he knows that George is raring to go.

VIDEO: Prince George Goes to the Zoo and Meets Namesake Bilby - TIME (http://time.com/70428/prince-george-bilby-zoo-sydney-australia/)
I think some of George's unusual expressions are due to teething. Given that he is teething and is feeling the frustration of wanting to walk but not quite being able to do so could contribute to a certain amount of fussiness. But honestly, he's shown little of that.
From photos and videos, he appears to be curious (always looking around, twisting to see in every direction), confident (crawling and exploring), and secure (no withdrawing or crying at new faces/people).
This is what a healthy 9 month old baby boy does. An expressionless and passive baby isn't a healthy baby.
QuoteThe Duchess of Cambridge was spotted discreetly wiping Prince George's drool on her designer dress during a visit to Sydney's Taronga Zoo yesterday.
Now in full-blown teething mode at eight months old, the infant constantly dribbled as he came face-to-face with various animals, including a bilby named in his honor.
Without a cloth or a bib to hand, his mother Kate, 32, used her hand to stop the saliva from getting on his smart sailor-style shirt.
Kate, the hands-on mother! Duchess wipes teething George's saliva on her own designer outfit | Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2609447/Kate-hands-mum-Duchess-wipes-teething-Georges-saliva-designer-outfit.html)
I think the article is a little harsh. George is dribbling because he is most probably teething.
George is quite the cutie. He seems to have a confident, content, very energetic personality. Given all of the crowds around him, the flashing photographers, and just his new surroundings and likely disruption in routine, he's been incredibly well behaved on this trip.
The drooling article does seem rather harsh. He's a baby and he's at the age of teething. Babies drool in general but especially teething babies. I will give the Duchess props for being a hands-on mom in that situation and just wiping his drool off him and on whatever surface she could find, including her designer dress. Not every mother, especially one as public as the Duchess is, would do that and risk their designer frock.
Think most moms would have a cloth to wipe the baby's mouth when out in public . Doing that in public in her position does not say hands on mom to me She gets dress , nanny dresses baby , hands baby to them to put in car , photo shoot at zoo very brief ok it is the nanny's fault when she did hand over should have given Kate a cloth baby back to nanny play in the park
I agree, who doesn't know babies drool? :shrug:
I don't see anything wrong with it, but I am surprised Kate isn't carrying a diaper bag or a burp rag.
I didn't see anything wrong with her wiping her hand on her dress or anything admirable, just life happening... :shrug:
Just wait till baby number two...everything will be drool ready. :nod:

She may be too addicted to weight watching. I do like her but that comment seemed a bit odd to me. She's watching his weight too it seems.
I think Kate's just somebody who speaks before she thinks sometimes, especially when she's around strangers. She doesn't seem to have learned the art of small talk.

I agree, but I think Kate does not read anything about her, either she was told not to or she doesn't care and assumes it will all be good, after saying William thought her dress too bright and people criticizing William for it, she then went on to say he called her a banana so he could be criticized again? :hmm: and then to mock his baldness in public in front of strangers... :hmm: This is why she prefers engagements with children, she can just look pretty and talk about their pigtails...

He's a growing baby so I'm not surprised that he's put on some weight and parents will notice these details. Infants tend grow out before they grow up according to my pediatrician. George will be adding some inches to his length soon so those outfits will be too small. :D
The first comment I make about every baby is how chubby they are' Fat rolls are what makes them adorable. To me it was a normal thing to say, certainly for me.
Her comment before the "fat roll" comment was that George is changing so much while they've been away. I agree, the "fat roll" comment was just a normal part of adding how much he's grown. He's a big boy, he'll start growing vertically real soon. And maybe a couple more fat rolls. :happy:
Cindy
I don't mind the fat roll comment. I think Kate is a good mother, this is the only good thing I can say about her. She is useless as a public figure but a good mum.
When will we see little cutie again, seriously he is the best thing about these two. I still can't believe W&K produced such an adorable baby. He has more personality then both of his parents put together.
I have to say that when I saw her wipe the drool, it brought back memories. I was always one of those "unprepared mothers" (I used to say I was an amateur at it). Some mothers always had wipes, cheerios, change of clothes etc.etc. I never seemed to have them to hand. But she turned out well anyway! (And told me she preferred me to the "professional moms" - thanks kiddo!)
The roll of fat comment seemed like a way to make small talk and to emphasize how well George had adapted to living in the Antipodes. Nothing derogatory in the statement.

DC has some of the very best food trucks, and none of them can be parked outside the National Mall. Thus, you get boiled in who-knows-what hot dogs as your only option! Gaaah! :soap:

"Every mother, especially the British ones, dream of dressing their children like the royal baby," said Christine Innamorato, the creative director of Bonpoint, an upscale children's clothier. "He might only be 9 months old, but Prince George is already a trendsetter, just like his mother."
QuoteIt's not easy to steal the spotlight from Kate Middleton and Prince William, but Prince George managed to do just that on his first ever royal tour.
The 9-month-old heir to the throne's visit helped to underscore the ties between the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and he even managed (remarkably) not to have a single meltdown caught on camera!
Is the future king's happy demeanor a testament to the duke and duchess's parenting skills? Perhaps Georgie's nap schedule stayed right on cue despite the time change, or maybe event photographers didn't mind turning a blind eye if they happened to witness a fussy moment. Maybe, though, Prince George really is as perfect as he seems!

Don't shoot me down...I come in peace :flower:.
However, I wonder if George was an ugly little blighter, they would have taken him? I doubt it. Without George. this tour would have been even more boring than it was...IMO.
OK...Off to the naughty step, once again, for me :mil3:
^^ That brings up a question in general that I've always wondered. I once saw the most unattractive baby in the world. My boss's wife was holding it. I goo-goo'ed and ga-ga'ed and said, "Oh, what a wonderful baby!", and the wife stood there proudly, smiling widely and showing off their baby. My question is, then, do parents know if their baby isn't Gerber Baby perfect? The answer probably is, no, they probably don't know. They probably think the baby is beautiful. And they all are, anyway, no matter...
So I think yes, the Cambridges would have brought little George with them, no matter what he looked like.
Off the naughty step for me, too. :mil3:
Cindy
^^^In all honesty I believe they would have taken him. :)
I think they do, but they don't want their baby or loved one's looks criticized (who does?) I have a friend who prayed throughout her pregnancy that her baby would have her nose and her husband's hair and the opposite happened. She let us all know, God's sense of humor was not appreciated. :happy15: I have a friend whose husband didn't tell anyone the baby was born until a few days later because it looked funny to him, he now looks like the Little Prince. And, a coworker showing pictures of her baby daughter introduced by saying, she looks kind of funny but remember she has been swimming for nine months! :happy15:
Are you making this up? What kind of 'adults' feel so ashamed of a human being they made ? Some people lol .
Babies faces are not formed till a few months and till 2 -3 years they keep changing they aren't born with perfect jawline and noses the nose is actually flat on all babies or really round lol so much for living in the real world . :notamused:

QuotePrince George Steals the Show as Support for Monarchy Rises
As the royal tour draws to a close, there's no doubt Prince George stole the limelight. But what has the young family's visit revealed about Australia and New Zealand's attitudes to the monarchy?
From the moment he was carried down the aircraft steps by his mother on their arrival in New Zealand on Monday 7 April, Prince George was the star of the show.
He has only appeared twice (other than at airports) and even then the settings have been carefully managed - first at a specially convened playgroup in Government House, Wellington and then, memorably, at a new enclosure at Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

Yes just Catherine of Aragon, Catherine Howard, and Katherine Parr she'll likely be aligned with her maiden name forever. I'm sure that she's hoping for a happier marriage though than those other Kates. There have been a total of 5 queens of England with that name.

Yeah, although because he kept marrying wives with the same first name (three Katherines, two Anne's) Henry's wives have to be distinguished somehow! King Charles II 's wife, Katherine of Braganza, is hardly remembered.
Quote(CNN) -- Britain's Prince George is now safely back home and tucked-up behind palace walls after taking his first tentative steps into a lifetime of public duties.
In the end, he only officially appeared twice during the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's tour of New Zealand and Australia. First, at a play date in Wellington, then at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, but we also caught glimpses of him getting on and off planes.
So what did we learn about this little monarch-in-waiting?

QuoteShe posed for thousands of photographs and looked picture perfect in almost every one.
But there was one image from her three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand that particularly captured the Duchess of Cambridge's heart.
And unsurprisingly, it features a very cuddly looking Prince George.

QuoteAustralian children's health specialists say Prince George is an advanced baby with excellent developmental skills for a child of his age.
Sydney paediatricians who observed his responses in photographs and on television footage of his two public appearances say the nine-month-old is progressing well and his parents should be pleased their child is in the top range for his age.
'He looks like a very mobile baby who actively plays with toys and crawls around and he could be almost walking which is very good at nine months,' said Dr Antonia Milner of the Sydney Children's Hospital.

I wonder about all the articles the are saying that support for the monarchy has increased because of Prince George? Do they really expect us to believe that people have abandoned their political ideologies because they saw a cute baby??

Those same articles of clothing have been sold in stores around the world for decades for boy, blue is a color common for boys clothes and so are polo shirts, and the nautical theme for babies, there is nothing there where George has sparked a trend... :blank: People who want to live like celebrities buy what they wear, but the items are not only far from unique they are the norm for baby nosy, from the shoes onward... :notamused:
Agreed. Also the BRF seems to like traditional clothing for their children when they appear in public. George likely wears less expensive but comfortable clothing when he's not in front of the camera. :)
I agree, I have always wondered about the sanity of parents buying expensive wardrobes for children... :loco: They are doing it right... You still want yo have fun with your baby clothes but not at a ridiculous expense. :wacko:
My daughter was given beautiful dresses when she was a baby/toddler. She wore them maybe once or twice before she outgrew them.
QuoteGeorge's Other Wellington Playdate
While his parents were charming the crowds in the South Island, Prince George is said to have made a secret outing with his nanny to a Wellington public playground.
Every move of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was meticulously planned and choreographed, but with the eyes of the world's media elsewhere, the little prince was able to depart from the script and mingle with his future subjects on a sunny afternoon in Frank Kitts Park, a witness says.
Mr Freeze icecream caravan owner Barry Ludlow said he thought he was the only one who recognised the baby, well wrapped up in his pram and with a woman chaperoning him. He said they approached his truck by the playground.
"There were plenty of people walking around the waterfront, there were children everywhere, but I don't think anyone saw them. They didn't look out of place at all." The pair were with two men in plain clothes, he said. "I've seen the nanny before on TV and they had bodyguards - she had two of them with her."

Saw this over on another well-known royal forum.
Apparently there has been a rise in tourists booking trips to Uluru since the Cambridges visited in April. Australian economy airline Jetstar is now scheduling four day a week flights to the region from Melbourne. Prior to that all flights to Uluru had to be chartered and went through Sydney. The airline has also seen an increase in passengers booking flights to Uluru from Sydney. There is a renewed hope that this will bring much needed tourist dollars to the area.
