Little Prince Charming: George joins a New Zealand playgroup on his first official Royal engagement – and shows that he’s starting to crawl

Prince George undertook his first royal crawl-about today as he attended a parent and baby group with his own, world-famous, mummy and daddy.

The eight-month-old was brought along by his clearly proud parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, to the ‘playdate’ organised by The Royal New Zealand Plunket Society at Government House in Wellington.

• Prince George is sharing a playdate with ten lucky families at Government House in Wellington today. Held securely in the Duchess' arms, he pulled at her hair and couldn't help but look a little grumpy

Following his scene-stealing appearance on Monday when the family arrived in New Zealand to begin their three week tour Down Under, all eyes were on the future king as he was introduced to ten babies born within a few weeks of his own birthday, on July 22 last year

• The young royal appeared more interested with his mother's hair than the other children and was seen gently pulling her brunette tresses away from the Duchess' face

• Beginning to crawl, the young royal looked eager to make his way towards another playmate
