Prince George Confirms “Uncle Harry” Is Indeed Fun

Today, His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge issued an official statement in response to  part two of Prince Harry’s interview with Good Morning America.

While speaking with journalist Robin Roberts, Harry admitted that he was looking forward to having children

“I can’t wait for the day. So, you know, it will be fantastic,” he told Roberts.

“I’ve got a kid inside of me. I want to keep that. I adore kids. I enjoy everything that they bring to the party. They just say what they think.”

Cheeeeeeese.

You have to hand it to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for pulling off a fantastic photo op just as the media was finished tearing Prince William apart.

Many have accused the Duke of being “workshy,” and shirking his royal responsibilities in favor of spending time with his family at their Norfolk, England home.

“No one really wants to admit it openly, but it was the talk of Sandringham over Christmas that he does nothing,” a source told the Sun‘s Emily Andrews last month.

“He wanted to move to Norfolk to give him the life of the gentleman country farmer, like his friends.”

So, William took matters into his own hands and arranged a family photo session in the French Alps last Thursday, reminiscent of the one he, Prince Harry and Prince Charles held in 2005 while skiing in the Klosters.  [Read more…]

The Duchess of Cambridge

There he is, the future king of the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth realms.

Today His Royal Highness, Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge begins his British education.

Kensington Palace released two photos of George arriving for his first day at Westacre Montessori School Nursery in Norfolk, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge.

With his blond locks tousled about and quilted jacket showing off a bit of tartan, George looked confident and ready for some introductions.

According to What Kate’s Kids Wore, the hooded puffer piece is from John Lewis (and is currently out-of-stock).

Richard Palmer of the Daily Express spoke with bystanders near the school, who noticed that security was tight as the royals arrived.   It’s roughly a twenty-minute drive from the family’s home to Westacre. [Read more…]
