As a relatively new royal watcher, this Cambridge Tour is the biggest foreign royal event that I have ever seen. As a person who tends to latch onto mild interests and become obsessive, I have been spending nearly every waking moment looking at pictures and such. As a combination of the two Cambridge Tour has practically taken over my life. All my friends think that I'm crazy because I'm getting up at some odd hour in the morning and would rather stay at home and watch a spluttering live-stream than go out with them, and maybe I am. But look at that face. That is a face for which I would let the whole world think I'm crazy.
That is Prince George of Cambridge. You probably recognise him from every post on this blog (since last July). He is pictured with his mother, and a part of his father's face, on a play date with children from Plunket House in New Zealand. George's play date is the highlight of this tour so far; nothing else even holds a candle to it. Everyone has seen a lot of William and Kate before. No one has seen much of George.
Look at this video of George.
He is the cutest baby in the world. I can't wait to see more of him.
After that one visit, during which he received a giant stuffed bear as a present, George retired to the Cambridge's secret hideout along with his nanny, leaving his parents to carry out the rest of the tour.
The rest of the tour was standard.
William and Catherine in Wellington
William and Catherine in Blenheim
William and Catherine in Auckland
William and Catherine in Waikato
William and Catherine in Dunedin
And again in Dunedin
William and Catherine in Queenstown
And again in Queenstown
There were some walkabouts, an unveiling, some rugby coaching, some wine tasting, a boat ride and a boat race. William and Kate looked like they were having fun, and just as everyone was starting to pool together their money to bet on the fact that Kate was pregnant again, she downed a glass of wine, forcing all those people to invest in something wiser.
I'm glad. This means that I get to enjoy Prince George all by himself for a little longer.
My favourite part of the New Zealand leg of the tour so far (except, of course, for all the sightings of Prince George) was definitely the time when William and Kate raced against each other in a yacht race at Auckland Harbour. They raced twice, and [SPOILERS] Kate beat William both times. Apparently they have a very competitive relationship. Any way, it as nice to see Kate just be normal for a few hours, celebrating victory over her husband like a regular person would.
Watch:
The Cambridge's leave New Zealand for Australia on Wednesday. More Prince George sightings then.
