IT’S A ROYAL PEEP SHOW

George & Charlotte on tour

KATE and Wills have taken their children on a five-day Brexit charm offensive across Europe.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are guests of honour on the trips to Poland and Germany.

The three-year-old and his two-yearold little sister stuck close to their mum and dad on the red carpet as they landed yesterday.

Polish President Andrzej Duda welcomed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in Warsaw on the first day of their diplomatic tour, as they try to charm EU nations into giving the UK a better exit from the bloc.

George kept to his signature style of classic kids’ clothing.

The prince was dressed in a longsleeve­d shirt, shorts and a smart pair of shoes.

At first he looked less than impressed with the waiting world’s media camped on the runway.

Some thought the young royal must have just woken up from a nap as he scuffed his toes on the red carpet and pulled on his dad’s hand, left.

Entertaine­d

Princess Charlotte was kitted out in a bright floral dress with matching red patent shoes and was carried by mum Kate along the red carpet.

Brexit officials are hoping the family will melt the chilly hearts of Brussels bureaucrat­s. They will tour Poland before travelling on to Germany in the next few days.

And ministers want the “soft power” of the royals to pave the way for tricky trade negotiatio­ns.

While their parents do their patriotic duty on the tour of Poland and Germany, the infants will be entertaine­d by their nanny.

The Foreign Office asked Kate and Wills to carry out the trip to northern Europe to smooth things over during the difficult Brexit talks.

It is the Duchess’s first trip to Germany. Last year, her husband William visited the country and gave a speech saying the depth of Britain’s friendship with Germany will not change when Britain leaves the union.
