The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge start royal tour

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their nine month old son Prince George have touched down in Sydney this morning, ahead of their Royal Tour of New Zealand and Australia.

The royals arrived following a first class Qantas service via Dubai. They then boarded a Royal New Zealand Air Force 757 for the three hour journey to Wellington.

Prince George looked happy and full of energy as he wriggled around in Duchess Catherine’s arms as they boarded the plane.

William carried George’s teddy bear as the royal family embarked on their first official overseas tour with the son.

The royals will show off their son for the first time when they touch down at a military terminal in Wellington this morning.
