The young Prince was the star of the show when he accompanied his parents on a three-week trip to Australia and New Zealand

He still hasn't celebrated his first birthday, but already Prince George has turned in a tour-stealing performance overseas.
George, who turns one next week, only made six official appearances during the 19-day trip by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to New Zealand and Australia in April, but whenever he was seen his image was captured for posterity by hundreds of photographers and cameramen.
He followed in the footsteps of his father William, who was also taken on a tour Down Under when he was a toddler.
And the baby prince captivated his hosts - and stole the limelight from his parents.

From biting on an orange envelope to ease his teething pains to the moment he stretched out his arms for a cuddly toy, the baby prince was loved by the public.
During the visit the future king was happy and content whenever he appeared in his parents' arms. He looked older than his age - nine months - by the end of the trip.
Waving his arms and grasping at anything that caught his attention, the baby was curious about the world around him and eager to engage with it.

The trip also saw George grow, with Kate describing at the end of the visit how her son had developed an "extra fat roll".
The Duchess made the confession during a visit to an Aboriginal cultural centre in the shadow of Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock.
She chatted about her son to a group of leading students from schools and colleges across the region at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre, including Shannon Hunt, 17, who said: "We asked if they missed him.
"Kate said: 'He's been changing so much while we've been away'. Kate also said he grew an extra fat roll while they're away.
"She also said he can get a bit grumpy on the long flights."

The baby prince's hair also grew during the trip - and by its end he looked noticeably larger.
George played a starring role in two engagements - visiting a playgroup in Wellington and a zoo in Sydney.
