Day 5, and Prince George gets to join in the fun as mum and dad make like Sydneysiders and take their boy to the zoo.
Yesterday was quite the day for the Royals. Not only did they do a day trip to sunny Brisbane, but they also decided to squeeze in a sneaky visit to the Rugby at Allianz Stadium in Sydney last night. William wore his glasses to get a better look at the NSW Waratahs beating the South African Bulls and drank a beer as Kate rested her head on his shoulder. They were hidden away in the VIP box until Allianz Stadium decided to tweet to the world that they were there.
So the next question is: what do Royals do on Easter Sunday? Well, while today’s official itinerary doesn’t mention a visit from the Easter Bunny, we are sure Kate, Will and George did eat a few chocolate eggs this morning at Admiralty House.
That was followed by a visit to Easter Sunday services at St Andrew’s Anglican cathedral, where besides Kate looking fabulous in McQueen and Jane Taylor (only Kate can look that good in a fascinator), Kate and Will signed the 1788 First Fleet Book of Common Prayers (where we noticed that two rows up Princess Diana’s signature was signed in 1983).
After taking a rest at Admiralty House, Kate (dressed in a non designer Easter yellow dress) clipped Prince George (dressed in baby blue) into his baby seat (nanny must have been on a break) and with Will headed to Taronga Zoo (which told Royal fans that there were no more tickets available just after 1pm). At the zoo they popped by the bilby enclosure named after Prince George as part of Australia’s gift following his birth. William fed the bilby and George took the opportunity to show he was a “real” baby by flapping his hands, eating paper at the presentation of the bilby enclosure plaque and throwing his bilby toy away (he has quite a bit of strength behind those cute arms). George was then handed to the elusive nanny who we once again didn’t get to see. Kate and Will went on to feed kangaroos, watch the giraffes, enjoy a bird show and look at the rhino conservation display.
