Royal visit

My DGS2 knows what a high five is and he's younger than George.

Navy shorts, blue sweater and blue gingham shirt unnderneath. What's wrong with that?

I would never have allowed my children to be subject to such twaddle. By all means take them but keep them out of the lime light.

What utterly ridiculous shoes - she'll pay for it when she is older!

And someone needs to buy that lad some jeans and a sweatshirt - how daft does he look?

It is a publicity opportunity not to be missed. Will even George remember going to Canada , of course not

Apparently they dress him like a prep schoolboy from the 1950s so that the clothes won't date in photos.

A few months ago I saw someone on mumsnet describe Prince George as 'the ghost child from the blitz'

I too think they should have left them at home with Granny Middleton and the nanny.

The visit only lasts 8 days. They should have left the children at home. They have a very hands-on maternal grandmother and a nanny to provide them with everything they need in every sense in their absence.

Oh, I so agree about those clothes! I'm really surprised at Kate dressing him, or agreeing to him being dressed, like that.

I dunno Ana I would like to think maybe he had but they are all seriously odd so maybe not. I would seriously like to see him dressed as a normal boy instead of in those horrible frilly blouses and little Lord Fauntleroy short trousers and long socks . Zara has the right idea in letting her daughter look like a normal child .

Oh, come on, gillybob - bet his Uncle Harry's high-fived him a few times!

He probably just didn't like the look of the Canadian PM.

The pictures I saw this morning had George holding William's hand to begin with then he reached out for Kate's hand as well.

For one awful moment I thought he was going to aim a kick at the Canadian PM.

Let's not forget he isn't a "normal" child though so probs won't know what a high five is .

I watched the bit of video where the Canadian PM was trying to get George to do a high five low five. That seemed to go down like a lead brick with the little chap!

No not just you - I hang on for dear life too

Nice to see you posting again Dunit. I was just wondering how you were.

No not just you binthere, it was the heels too, very scary to watch. William should have helped
