George leads Kate a merry dance
FOR a little boy who doesn’t know his chukka from his Chuggington train, i t always had the potential to be a boring day out.
But Prince George is nothing if not resourceful.
While the adults in his life delighted in play at the annual Gloucestershire Festival of Polo, the young royal managed to keep himself amused with a small toy car – and the undivided attention of his mother.
Kate, 33, wearing a striped top and skinny jeans, tried to get him involved, pointing out horses and giving him a polo ball and mini mallet.
George, however, seemed more interested in giving the ball a kick and dancing around with the Duchess.
Looking smart in dark blue shorts, a white shirt and royal blue cardigan, he also kept himself entertained by sliding down a grass bank on his bottom. It was a busy weekend for the little Prince, who stole the show on Saturday at Trooping the Colour on his first official engagement.
The third in the line to the throne was seen giggling, sticking out his tongue and waving to his mother as he watched the procession from an upstairs window at Buckingham Palace.
Later he appeared on the Palace balcony in his father’s arms, dressed in the same blue and white romper suit Prince William wore for his balcony debut in 1984, when he was held by Charles.
Prince William was dressed much more casually at the polo yesterday, in jeans and a jumper. Prince Harry was also dressed down in jeans and a dark blue jumper.
Kate looked relaxed and happy, wearing an ME+EM striped top, £48, with her f avourite Sebago shoes, £89.99. She had left Princess Charlotte at home, giving her more time to play with George, who was wearing comfortable Crocs shoes, £26.99.
The charity match is a f avourite of William and Harry. Both princes regularly participate, with William refusing to miss i t even when the birth of his son was imminent.
