Prince William Talks of Son George And Unusual Christening Gifts
Even with his royal duties, Prince William could not stop from gushing about his son George.
Fresh from his sing-along stint with Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift last Tuesday, Prince William goes back to his royal duties with a book-reading activity with the children of Birmingham.
After touring the facilities of St. Basil's Charity, the future King heads to the Library of Birmingham, where he reads to the schoolchildren of Chandos Primary School.
During the reading session, Prince William reveals to the press who accompanied him some bits of facts about his four-month-old son George. He describes him as having 'very chubby cheeks,' and that the boy 'likes looking at picture books.'
The following day, the Prince attends the Motorcycle Live Show, also in Birmingham, and posed with a mini-motorcycle or a 'balance bike' for the little Prince.
According to E! Online, the bike 'features a royal crest, the Motorcycle Live logo and a "G" with a crown above the letter.'
People Magazine also reports that the Samburu tribe from Kenya gifts Prince George a fattened black bull and goat as a christening present. The said bull will grow up in Lewa along with four heifers, with the goal of creating a royal herd. It was presented in a special ceremony last Nov. 21 with British High Commissioner Dr. Christian Turner receiving the gift in behalf of the royal couple.
Prince George's father expresses his gratitude to the Samburu tribesmen for the said gift with a letter partly written in Swahili.
'On behalf of our son George, Catherine and I would like to thank you all so very much for the extraordinary honour and generosity of your gifts,' the 31-year-old royal wrote as translated from Swahili.
'I remember my time with you, the Samburu, with immense happiness and I could not be more grateful to you all for this kindness. It brings me great pride and joy to know that George's 'pension' will be herded on a land that we love and care deeply for. We only hope that one day, he will be able to come and see them for himself.'
