Prince George’s kangaroo backpack has sold out.
The cute bag, which features a stuffed version of the iconic Australian animal cuddling a Joey on the front, has flown off the shelves after Prince William was spotted carrying the item when arriving with his son and Duchess Catherine in Sydney, Australia, on Monday (07.04.14).
Shoppers have rushed to order the item, which was on sale on the Australian Koala Foundation website, and the vendors have been forced to display a ‘This product is out of stock or unavailable’ message to those hoping to emulate the eight-month-old tot’s style.
George had been accompanying his parents on his first royal tour as they travelled to Wellington, New Zealand, for the next leg of their journey via Air Force military jet.
This isn’t the first time William and Catherine’s first-born has caused a shopping frenzy, as retailer My1stYears.com saw their personalised sweaters sell out after George wore a pale blue jumper embroidered with his name when the royal family unveiled a new family portrait last Sunday (29.03.14).
Director Daniel Price said: "The demand took us by surprise. We weren’t expecting to see a shot with Prince George wearing a jumper with his name and our similar jumper sold out quickly. Luckily we were able to restock to fulfil orders, but it’s since sold out again."
