Prince George Leaves Justin Trudeau Hanging, Not Sorry About It

Prince George stepped off the private plane loaned to him and his family by the Canadian government on September 24th, only to be greeted by a sea of eager beavers frantically cheering.

Meh, he thought to himself.  So much noise.

Royal Tour of Canada, Day One: The Cambridges Arrive In Style

Watching live CTV coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s arrival in Victoria, Canada was exciting AF.

Sure, it was a little less exciting than their inaugural visit back in 2011, when the newlyweds – nay – everyone was basking in a post-royal wedding glow.

Prince George Slowly Poisons Dog Lupo With Ice Cream, According To Some Idiots

Yesterday, Kensington Palace released four adorable photos of Prince George to celebrate his third birthday.

Normally the Duchess of Cambridge is behind the lens, but this time she and Prince William hired photographer Matt Porteous to snap George at Anmer Hall, the family’s home in Norfolk, England.

One photo from the set has the Royal Society For The Prevention of Cruelty To Animals concerned. [Read more…]

10 Times Prince George Was Disappointed By His Birthday Gifts

Well done.  You’ve cast a dark cloud of doom over the future King George VII.  Is it really that difficult to stick to the registry?

We’ve all witnessed toddlers react poorly to gifts that displease them, whether it’s Christmas or their birthday.

Today, Prince George of Cambridge celebrates his third birthday, although this one is a far more toned-down affair than 2013, when the whole damn world invited itself to the party (present company included).

And here we are, wishing the heir well as he rings in year three with a tea party at Anmer Hall, according to People‘s Simon Perry. [Read more…]

Prince George Recalls His Obligatory Visit to Royal International Air Tattoo

What a splendid treat it was to see His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge at RAF Fairford on Friday.

The Duchess of Cambridge (in a Stella McCartney blue dress and Smythe blazer) and Prince William surprised the crowds by bringing along the 2-year-old (who turns three on July 22nd).

Yes, there was a minor meltdown at the beginning, but things improved greatly once George was shown aircrafts. [Read more…]

Prince George Is Already Playing Tennis, Might Be A Lefty

She’s been a fan of the sport for years, so it comes as no surprise that the Duchess of Cambridge has already put a tennis racket in her son’s hands.

At Wimbledon today, Catherine spoke spoke with former British tennis player Greg Rusedski about getting Prince George involved in the game.

“She talked about George, her little boy, playing tennis,” Rusedski said, according to the Telegraph.

Prince George Asks Uncle Harry Why He Was “So Quiet” Around Obamas

Michelle Obama has become America’s latest national treasure, for she has divulged secrets of the royal family that her predecessors would have shrugged off as non-newsworthy soundbites.

The First Lady and Prince Harry gave a join interview to Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts from Orlando, Florida, where the second annual Invictus Games are underway.

Roberts inquired about the Obamas’ April 22nd dinner with Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Kensington Palace, an evening that saw Prince George stay up past his bedtime in the name of socializing.

So, Roberts asked, does George always look so put-together before retiring for the night?

Prince George Bids Obama Goodnight, Thanks Him For Popping By Kensington Palace

Tonight, Nanny Maria allowed the President of the United States of America to have an audience with Prince George of Cambridge.

Though it was past her charge’s bedtime, Maria granted Mr. President 20 minutes with the heir to the British throne (Cameron usually gets zero).

And so, pleasantries were exchanged.  Prince George thanked Obama for the rocking horse he and Michelle sent over when he was born, even mounting it to show how much joy he gets out of the stationary object.

Pleasantries were exchanged between heir and leader.  George apologized for looking so underdressed, then added that Americans dressed like every day was laundry day, so he didn’t think the Obamas would mind.

George asked about Obama’s luncheon with Gan Gan and the Duke of Edinburgh (he doesn’t answer to anything but, George revealed), and Obama said he was quite impressed when the Duke got behind the wheel, and thought nothing of it when he ran right over a few photographers.

The prince didn’t join the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry to greet the Obamas outside, primarily because rain would ruin his velvet slippers.

Also, he could make do without comparisons to Hugh Hefner were the press to photograph him outside.

It’s casual Friday.  That’s how things operate in the Cambridge house after 5pm.

In one of the photos shared by Kensington Palace, a stuffed dog was spotted on the furniture.

He is the heir, and she, the spare.  So it’s only fitting that Prince George and his little sister, Princess Charlotte take part in the celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s (or “Gan Gan” as George calls her) 90th birthday.

The Sun‘s Emily Andrews reports that the two children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge posed alongside the monarch for photographer Annie Leibowitz, who also worked with Her Majesty in 2007.

“Wills and Kate were with the children but as adoring parents rather than wanting to be in the pics themselves,” a source told Andrews.

Catherine herself is a keen photographer, having taken several photos of her family and of the places she and William have traveled.  [Read more…]
