Dos and Don’ts of Playing With Prince George

On Wednesday, Prince George had his first public playdate and the world learned a little more about the future King of England’s interests. He’s an overalls kind of guy, who loves a primary-colored toy, and a solid baby party. While on tour in New Zealand, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge brought their famous son to a group hang with 10 other babies to promote Plunket, a non-profit childcare organization. Unlike the usual royal event, this one was rife with diaper changes, hair chomping, and a meltdown or two. You almost could say it was laid-back, but there were some etiquette lessons to be learned. If you want to socialize with the little prince, you’ve got to know the dos and don’ts.

Do: Bring that toy with the round balls and the yellow coils. Prince George really enjoys that thing.



Don’t: Freak out. There’s a lot of riffraff around the prince, photographers, officials, oglers, and what not. Try to act like it’s no big deal. Prince George does it all the time. 





Do: Find out who he’s wearing (They're overalls by Rachel Riley, and they'll probably sell out soon)




Don’t: Try to engage the royal nanny or the government officials charged with keeping a close eye on the prince. They’re pretty focused. 








Do: Ask him to dance. He’s really good at it.
