Two weeks shy of his first birthday, Prince George has snagged a Vanity Fair cover. So how did the world's most eligible infant become, in the magazine's words, "a media star, a style icon, and a PR triumph"? Here's a baby-step-by-baby-step guide.
1. Wear a jumper bearing your moniker.
The window-frame family portrait, taken in March, featured George in a baby-blue cashmere jumper bearing his name in chubby typography. This was scene-stealing style from the school of Suri Cruise.
2. Pay close attention to your hair.
As the son of a woman whose super-abundant tresses are arguably solely responsible for the revival of royalism, George knows good hair is a prerequisite to stardom. Luckily, George's follicular density is increasing as quickly as his father's is diminishing. On his recent Antipodean tour, he favoured a relaxed mohawk, artfully ruffled to suggest a baby ludicrously at ease with his duties.
