It sure is nice to meet you, your Highness, eh! Prince George steals the show and even gets the (equally photogenic) Canadian PM to kneel and greet him as the Cambridges arrive for Royal tour. Prince George stole the show as the Cambridge family arrived in Canada, ignoring waiting dignitaries by waving excitedly at a landing helicopter. But all eyes were on Princess Charlotte, 16 months, making only her third public appearance as she clung to her mother, Kate, looking elegant in blue Jenny Packham dress with a Locke and Co hat and sporting the Queen's glittering maple leaf diamond. The family arrived on a Canadian Air Force plane on time shortly before 4pm local time and were greeted by the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his equally fashion forward wife Sophie. It took a while for the plane steps to be loaded but when they did William appeared first holding a slightly apprehensive George's hand. The third in line to the throne was wearing the same outfit that he wore to visit the Lindo wing when his sister was born, a pale blue jumper with blue shorts and knee-length socks but this time with 'big boy' lace up shoes. Charlotte, carried in her mother's arms, wore a pretty patterned white dress with blue shoes and a blue bow in her hair. She seemed pleased to be coo-ed over by the waiting dignitaries and showed little sign of having just disembarked from a 10-hour flight from the UK. George, his blonde hair combed down, was slightly more hesitant than his sister and required a little more encouragement from both his father and mother. He twisted and turned slightly anxiously as they chatted to the Prime Minister and his wife, craning his neck to look at the other aircraft on the military base. Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, who has helped oversee the eight-day itinerary, is keen for the couple to see how Canada is addressing the crisis. The Liberal leader pledged to rehouse and relocate some 25,000 migrants from Syria and elsewhere – a move that drew criticism from the country’s Conservative party for being too hasty and ill-planned. Canada has since accepted more than 30,000 refugees, with more families settling each month.
