Prince George Nears First Birthday Milestone
All eyes were on baby George this year as he traveled to Australia, learned to walk and landed a magazine cover.

Prince George kicks it off this morning, coming up on his birthday. We have a new behind-the-scene look at his first year, including some colicky moments for the future king although he looks pretty happy right there. Lama Hasan brings the details from London. Good morning, Lama.
And good morning to you. Well by George, it’s been a great year for the little prince. First, talking all those air miles on his first official foreign trip to New Zealand and Australia, then learning how to walk, and now landing his very first “Vanity Fair” cover with a revealing article that describes him as a noisy and ravenous baby.
He’s arguably the most famous baby in the world. But now, just weeks before his first birthday, royal darling, Prince George is gracing the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair, alongside his royal parents. The article reveals that besides being the heir to the throne, he’s pretty much your average toddler, who for the tough first few months cried loudly and frequently and was permanently hungry.
“You would expect back at the palace servants, maternity nurses, everything on hand. That wasn’t even an air-conditioning unit.”
But don’t expect a big to do for his birthday like there was on his arrival. Vanity Fair reports the prince is expected to have a small birthday tea gathering with his parents and grandparents.
“The one thing that William always wanted to be was ordinary and it’s the one thing that they both want for George.”
The article also reveals William and Kate are trying to provide George with a normal upbringing, taking him to play dates at the homes of friends with kids. And they didn’t initially want to hire a nanny but eventually gave in.
“Not only is Maria a whiz with the magic makes in puree and nappy changing, she can drive high-speed car, she’s trained in self-defense and she knows exactly where the paparazzi are hiding.”
A nanny who came in handy helping Will and Kate out when they took George on his first official foreign tour to New Zealand and Australia this year.
Stealing the limelight everywhere he goes, most recently the pint-sized prince was on the polo field wanting a piece of the action.
So Katie Nicholl, the author of that article also telling us according to her sources, the royal couple want to move into their new country home and get settled in first before trying for a new -- another baby rather. So guys, we may be hearing the pitter-patter of little feet sooner rather than later again. Royal baby bump watch, here we come.
Here we go. Are you ready, Lara?
The bag is packed.
Hey, Lama, thanks so much.
