Prince George Got a Really Special Birthday Treat From the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

Getting to see planes and helicopters up close has got to be at the top of nearly every 2-year-olds wish list. But for Prince George, the dream come true proved to be a tad overwhelming.

As an early birthday present, the young Royal was taken to his very first air show by his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on Friday. But, after arriving in Gloucestershire for the Royal International Air Tattoo, the toddler burst into tears.

Possibly thrown by the amount of photographers eager to take a snap of him, His Royal Highness was soon smiling again as his mother swept him up for a reassuring cuddle.

Looking adorably smart in belted navy shorts, a white collared shirt, and his trademark navy blue T-bar sandals, the young prince protected his ears with canceling headphones as he was shown the aircraft on display and was even given the opportunity to sit in one of the cockpits.

And Kate Middleton looked equally sophisticated in a cobalt blue Stella McCartney dress she’s worn on three previous occasions. She paired the sheath with a navy blue blazer with gold button detailing from Smythe and her trusty nude heels. The Duchess chose to keep her long locks loose, although kept her hair back the wind and propellors with a cheetah print headband. She also kept jewelry to a minimum, opting only for small drop earrings.

Prince William, who is a former RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot and currently works for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, matched the rest of his family — all in shades of blue — by wearing a dark blue blazer with khakis.
