With the birth of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s second child expected any day now, it’s time to reflect on the 21 months since their firstborn son, Prince George, burst onto the scene in a blaze of structured, well-mannered glory.
As far as Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge is concerned, he’s led a perfectly normal life: Meeting the world at two days old, donning a designer classic for his christening, photo ops with the family dog, meeting the bilby named after him in Australia, looking for daddy in the china cabinet.
Pretty standard.
And for us civilians, every picture has been worth a thousand words (did you ever see so many people swoon at the sight of a sweater vest?), every tidbit of inside information has been a nugget to be savored.
But it turns out that, all along, Kate, William and George have been up to something highly irregular. “The biggest surprise, really, even though William and Kate are so private, is that he has been seen in public so rarely,” CNN Royals Commentator Victoria Arbiter, whose father Dickie Arbiter served as a press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, tells E! News.
