Prince William Finds Moment of Respite

Prince William made his first public appearance today since the birth of his son, Prince George. He played in the annual Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park, Ascot, Berkshire, with his brother, Prince Harry.

Prince William revealed that he wasn’t too focused on the game, despite scoring the winning goal for his team – “I was in baby mode out there, thinking about nappies, I wasn’t really in the zone,” and added that it was, “good to get out of the house” for the afternoon. Living with his in-laws and his newborn son, one can imagine that an afternoon off was much needed.

The second in line to the throne is currently on paternity leave but is expected to return to work sometime next week. An announcement on his future plans- whether he plans to stay in the Royal Air Force or take on more royal duties- is expected within the next few months.

Prince Harry

Uncle Harry

The latest comment from the royal family regarding its newest addition came this evening from Prince Harry. Attending a private viewing of a Sentebale photography exhibit, Prince Harry fielded the expected questions but was also asked his mission as an uncle to which he replied:

“To make sure he has a good upbringing, to keep him out of harm’s way, and make sure he has fun. The rest of it I leave to the parents.”

Was there any doubt that Prince Harry would be the one to bring some fun to Prince George’s life?

Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, Prince William

HRH Prince George of Cambridge

The media frenzy continued today when the name of the new member of the royal family was announced – Prince George Alexander Louis. As NPR notes in this article, the naming was announced quickly when compared to others; Prince Charles’ name wasn’t known for approximately a month and it took Princess Diana and Prince Charles one week to announce Prince William’s name. There are rumors from various outlets that the delay in naming Prince William was because Princess Diana and Prince Charles were at odds regarding a name for their first born; she wanted William and he wanted Arthur (which was to become Prince William’s second name).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were spotted out with their son this afternoon, presumably heading to her parents’ house in Bucklebury, Berkshire (MailOnline).
