Royal visit

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

He would look better not dressed like Christopher Robin.

I think he has to be dressed like that, else no one would take much notice of them and him. The future king has to be talked about.

Which we are doing.

Those children had just had a 10 hour flight and were greeted with a sea of strange faces. He looked tired out to me and at least neither of them burst into tears! I think Prince George was bewildered by it all. He's only three.

I agree on the subject of clothes, but then in a lot of pics Kate also looks like she is out of a forties film!

I wish I looked like I was out of a forties film then, Lisalou!

ps Not that I'm jealous or anything.

Oh yes I am.
