Sling that baby up on your hip and go back to work

 From London's The Telegraph "A lifetime of royal duty for Prince George began on the rain-soaked tarmac of Wellington Airport in New Zealand today.

The eight-month-old future king’s first ever official engagement was to be welcomed to New Zealand by the country’s prime minister, John Key, at the start of a three-week tour of Australasia.

Looking contented and fresh, if a little chilly with his bare legs, the Prince was carried off a Royal New Zealand Air Force flight by the Duchess of Cambridge, who was wearing a striking red Catherine Walker coat and matching hat by Gina Foster with more than a hint of Jacqueline Kennedy’s 1960s style. She accessorised the outfit with a diamond brooch in the shape of New Zealand’s national symbol, the silver fern, on loan from the Queen.

But for once the Duchess was upstaged as every camera lens zeroed in on her son, wearing a cream-coloured jumper and shorts for his first public appearance since his christening in October.

George appeared well-rested after flying to Sydney on a Qantas flight from London before transferring to the Air Force flight for the last leg of the journey."
