The Cambridges Down Under : The Baby Has Landed

The baby is in Australia!
(It's amazing how I don't even need to say the name of the baby anymore, because everyone automatically knows which baby I'm talking about)

Before I start to talk about that baby (PRINCE GEORGE, you really should know that by now), let me wrap up my, well, coverage of sorts, of the New Zealand leg of the tour so that I can move on to Australia.

On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Christchurch, where they laid roses on the Royal New Zealand Air Force Memorial, opened a botanical garden, played cricket against each other to publicise the 2015 World Cup, and met with sets of twins. It was alright, but there was no George, so it was quite boring. Kate's hair looked nice.

Tuesday was a holiday for them, but mainly for everyone else who couldn't finish their actual work because they were too busy watching the royals tour. I slept till 9 that day, and then I watched 4 straight hours of Modern Family.

The tour resumed on Wednesday, when the Duke and Duchess were back in Wellington - only this time, they were actually out and about in Wellington, and not just at Government House. There was wreath laying, walkabouts, and then they went to a police training academy, where they played with police puppies.


Wednesday was filled with cute things.

And after that, GEORGE!

Before leaving New Zealand, Kate told a member of the crowd the following:


This is George, leaving New Zealand, clearly upset at having been awoken from his sleep, and thoroughly unimpressed with the fact that people have been forsaking paying jobs and standing outside for hours just to see him. Little wonder, then, that he is my favourite baby.


This is George arriving in Sydney and being forced to shake hands with someone less important than him. Still unimpressed. But so cute.


In fact, only one thing seemed to impress George all day - this wombat given to him by the Governor-General of Australia, Sir Peter Cosgrove, when he attended tea at Admiralty House with his parents (George, not Sir Peter).


Look at the look on his face!

And William and Kate went to Sydney Opera House, but I really don't care about any of that. Here, watch the video:


Tomorrow, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit the Blue Mountains, but I won't cover that until Sunday. Come back on Sunday.
