Prince George Turns One

Happy Birthday, Your Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge!

What a first year your life has been!

You are already displaying that you have what it takes to make a fine king someday. Jet-setting to far-flung colonies like New Zealand and Australia, where you won over both nations’ hearts with your well-behaved manner.

You’re displaying a sense of style and fashion with colourful rompers and cool-looking sweaters and cardigans.

And let’s not forget your first formal affair – your royal christening, where you good-naturedly posed and looked relaxed in your royal baptism outfit – essentially a long and voluminous lace-and-satin gown. Sure, it was a historical garment, first worn by one of your ancestors, Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, but you might have a chuckle over it when you’re a teenager.
