Join Prince William, Duchess Catherine, Prince George and Princess Charlotte as they embark on their first ever tour as a family of four!

The Cambridges have already charmed their way into Canada’s hearts as they travel around the country on an eight-day tour.

On Saturday, September 24th, it was their two children who stole the show at the airport.

Prince George – who looked adorable in a navy jumper, smart shorts, lace-up shoes and his trademark knee-high socks – held onto to both of his parents’ hands as they disembarked from the plane while one-year-old Charlotte nestled into her mother’s arms.

Sticking with the blue theme, 16-month-old Charlotte sported a sweet embroidered sundress, blue shoes and a blue bow clipped into her light brunette locks.

The royal siblings will attend an official engagement on Thursday, September 29. In keeping with the family-friendly approach of the tour, George and Charlotte will be guests at a celebration to honour military families at Government House in Victoria.

Meanwhile William and Catherine have wasted no time meeting with the locals in both Victoria, Vancouver and Bella Bella.

“Catherine and I have asked to meet as many people from as many walks of life as we can while we are here. We are very much looking forward to learning about how Canadians are tackling some of the biggest challenges of the day, including the environment, supporting young families and the mental health of young people,” Prince William explained.

The couple are keen to shine a light on issues close to their heart including addiction, mental health and the resettlement of refugees.
