Prince George’s big brown eyes & first birthday cover this week’s People Mag
Look at Prince George’s big brown eyes!!! How did that happen? I mean, I don’t need a dissertation on genetics and eye color (again), but you would think that with a blue-eyed parent (William) and a hazel-eyed parent (Kate), George would not end up with brown eyes. But it happens. And even with the brown eyes, George looks SO MUCH like William as a baby. Except that I think George is more regal. George is totally going to grow up with a “do not speak to me, PEASANT!” face. Anyway, George turns 1 year old next week, so People Magazine has done an “all about Prince George” cover story this week. Eh.
He’s walking, babbling – and still waking up much, much earlier than his parents would like. As Prince George approaches his first birthday on Tuesday, the future heir to the British throne is growing into a spirited toddler whose every milestone is met with pride by his mom and dad, Princess Kate and Prince William.
“As for any new parent, it’s exciting and a joy to be a part of,” a palace source tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “It’s a wonderful thing going through your baby’s first year.”
For the heir to the British throne (behind his dad and grandfather, Prince Charles), it has been a year filled with adventure (the royal tour Down Under), sweet moments (singing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” with Mom) and sleepless nights (for which William recently shared his coping strategy).
And like many parents of a nearly 1-year-old, William and Kate, both 32, have begun planning for baby no. 2. Although the palace won’t comment on the ever-present pregnancy rumors, a source close to the couple confirms they plan to give George a sibling not too long from now, but “they don’t say when.”
Still, the pieces are in place: William is preparing to start a long-term job with an air ambulance service, a job close to the couple’s country home, Anmer Hall.
“It’s a great, family-friendly environment,” says a source who has visited there.
“Preparing to start a long-term job…”? Good God. That’s why everybody’s in a rush to announce Kate’s second pregnancy. They think another baby will help with the mountain of bad press they’re going to get for running away from their royal duties for another four years. That being said… I do hope they’re already pregnant or will be soon. I think it would be very cool if they had a daughter. It would change things up.
