Happy Easter! to everyone who celebrates Easter. Here are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attending an Easter service at St. Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney, today morning.
It's a bit hard to keep track of all the things that happen during the week, speaking from the perspective of the royal tour, and especially so when the week ends the way that this week did; with Prince George meeting a bilby.
This is a bilby.
This is Prince George.
This is what ensued when the two of them met. I don't even care what happened during the rest of the week (but you might, so there are links closer to the end of this post).
Like my friend said to me this morning when I sent her a message about Prince George that read "Prince George is going to the zoo. PRINCE GEORGE is going to the ZOO. PRINCE GEORGE IS GOING TO THE ZOO." followed by 17 exclamation marks: I don't know how I manage to remain sane, what with Prince George on tour and all.
After meeting his namesake bilby, Prince George went home with his nanny. His parents stayed at the zoo and fed kangaroos and met with koalas, but I didn't stick around to watch that. Today, more than anything, proved that this visit isn't William and Kate on tour, and Prince George with them. It's Prince George on tour and everyone else with him.
Later, the Cambridges and their entourage left Sydney for Canberra, and George was pictured being carried off a plane. Unlike his last sojourn in a plane, George actually looked quite happy. And adorable, but that seems to be a given with George.
If the press is to be believed (and they are, because who else is there?) today was the last official sighting of Prince George in this tour. That's a bit disappointing, because now that I've seen George, and how big George has gotten and how much George wriggles around in his mother's arms, I want to see more. In fairness, the Duke and Duchess have shown us a lot more of their son than I had bargained for, and that is very sporting of them.
Besides, the amount I've seen of George in these last two weeks is enough to last me a year, at least.
The Royal Tour ends on Friday, with an Anzac Day Parade which I've covered on Royal Central. There will be a final post on this blog the following Sunday, which will probably be boring because of the lack of Prince George. After that, posts will resume their irregularity.

If you've missed actually tracking the tour, you can watch the highlights on ITN's Royal Family Channel. Also, Clarence House has daily blogs, with images and tweets, which you can go back and read. Click on the day/city to read it:
Day 3, Wellington [Tuesdays were holidays]
Another blog that I have personally been following is What Would Kate Do, which is absolutely wonderful. And she has the most adorable nickname for George - Cheeks!
Lastly, on a non-royal note, I was part of a collaboration week on the blog of a dear friend of mine. You can read my contribution by clicking on this sentence. Also read the rest of the blog, because that's a nice (maybe) thing to do.
