Britain’s Prince George is to be given his own surfboard.
The specially-made board, which features a photograph of Manly Beach with the message ‘Greetings from Manly’, will be handed to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for their nine-month-old son during their visit to Sydney’s iconic beach later today (18.04.14), according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.
Meanwhile, Duchess Catherine – known as Kate Middleton before she married William in 2011 – has revealed Prince George is "obsessed with wombats".
The 32-year-old royal made the comment after she was handed a book about the marsupials – native to Australia – during her and William’s visit to the Royal Easter Show at Sydney’s Olympic Park this morning.
The couple were handed numerous gifts for the young prince during their trip, but he did not accompany them on the visit to the annual show.
The royal couple were greeted by a large crowd of fans when they arrived at the show, which is one of the highlights of Australia’s social calendar, before being treated to a display of sheep shearing.
After the show, the pair were taken to Bear’s Cottage, a children’s hospice, before watching a display of surf live-saving on Manly Beach.
