Britain’s Prince George enjoyed a secret ice-cream trip during his stay in New Zealand.
The youngest member of the royal family escaped to Frank Kitts Park, Wellington, to savour his first ice-cream with his Spanish nanny Maria Borrallo while his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were hard at work touring New Zealand last month.
The nine-month-old baby managed to avoid the cameras for a rare afternoon, no doubt a welcome break from being the centre of attention during his first official public outings.
The pair went completely unnoticed by passers-by, who missed George nibbling on his nanny’s 99 Flake cone.
Barry Ludlow, the Mr Freeze ice cream van owner who served them the tasty treat, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There were plenty of people walking around the waterfront, there were children everywhere, but I don’t think anyone saw them.
"They didn’t look out of place at all."
Wellington’s Mayor Celia Wade-Brown added: "I have heard rumours from people that the nanny and Prince George were out and about in the city and were seen places, and one of the rumours was that they were at Frank Kitts Park.
"I hope they enjoyed a chance to have some peace and quiet without being recognised by anyone."
George is currently resting at home after a hectic three weeks in Australia and New Zealand, where he was showered with attention from fans and photographed incessantly.
