Watching one's father play polo is not the most exciting activity for most under-fives, but the Duke of Cambridge's eldest children found plenty of ways to beat the boredom on a sun-soaked family day out yesterday.
While the Duke competed in a tournament at the Beaufort Polo Club in Gloucestershire, Prince George and Princess Charlotte slipped off their shoes and chased each other around the edges of the field.
Charlotte, aged three, showed off her roly-poly technique by tumbling on the grass, while George, who will be five next month, mimicked his father by hitting balls with a miniature polo mallet, according to the Telegraph UK.
George is reportedly left-handed, like his father, but polo players are only allowed to hold the mallet in their right hand - a lesson George already appears to have been taught as he whacked balls right-handed under the watchful eye of his mother the Duchess of Cambridge.
