Time for the next batch of pictures from New Zealand where royal reporters are saying Prince George took his first major royal engagement entirely in his stride. Or as Gordon Rayner of the The Telegraph said, in his crawl. The occasion was a meeting of the prince with ten other babies at what Rayner called the world’s most exclusive playgroup. George is now fully mobile, a feat which at eight months apparently beats his father by a month. The playgroup was organised by The Royal New Zealand Plunket Society, or Plunket for short, which provides free parental support services to more than nine in ten babies there. In years to come the future king will look back on this joyous event as the moment his life’s work began. George’s mom, the duchess, was wearing a Tory Burch dress. She carried carried Prince George on her hip as she chatted and giggled with other parents about their shared experiences of bringing up babies. And where fashion-watchers are usually obsessed with the Duchess’s outfit, it was Prince George’s smart navy blue dungarees that were attracting more interest on Twitter. The Prince wore a £75 pair of “sailboat smocked dungarees” by the British designer Rachel Riley over a white Milo Body by Chelsea Clothing Company and navy Alex Pre-Walkers shoes by Early Days. The babies chosen as George’s playmates were politically-correct. They included the daughter of two gay fathers and children of Maori, Samoan, Polish and Oriental descent. All were born within days of Prince George, but most were dwarfed by him, apart from Levi Birch, known as “superman” because of his strength and size. Rayner reports that Prince George had no fear in pulling himself up towards the other children – and stealing their toys. TelegraphPrince George takes engagement “in his crawl”
