Just like Dad: Prince George is a leftie!

Prince George is a robust toddler who's he's growing up fast – and his parents have discovered a growing trait!

Prince George of Cambridge is inheriting many things from his daddy, including his beautiful blonde hair, the British throne and now, apparently, left-handedness!

While most children are ambidextrous in their early years, it’s been reported that George, who turns two on July 22, “seems to be very left-handed”.

This was clearly evident as the boisterous little bloke had a go with a small mallet at the polo recently, while his dad played the grown-up version of the horseback sport nearby.

Prince George was using is left hand while practicing his polo skills.

It’s believed that Prince William is thrilled his little one is turning out to be a “leftie”, given that he is one himself.

“More often than not, he uses his left hand to hold things and both William and Catherine have noticed this,” a royal insider tells the UK’s Daily Mail. “William is thrilled his son has inherited this trait – he’s always joking that left-handers have better brains.”

Other famous “lefties” include Barack Obama, Albert Einstein and Oprah Winfrey – not to mention George’s rellies and namesakes, King George II, King George IV, and the Queen’s father George VI. Four’s a trend!

It seems a love of polo is yet another thing Prince George is inheriting from his dad!
