THEPrince William had announced it: his twelve-year-old son George would soon accompany him on a visit to Passagethe center for the homeless in London. A visit that could not fail to recall the one made by the heir to the throne, way back in 1993, together with his mother, Lady Diana.
Prince George prepares Christmas lunch for the homeless
Supporting his father in the kitchens of the charity, of which William is now patron, George helped prepare the dishes and sides for the Christmas dinner to serve to homeless. He then lent a hand in various daily tasks, just as his father had done as a child under the guidance of his grandmother Diana, and spent a long time chatting with the centre’s guests.
George and the transition from shy child to perfect Royal
George, who has been taking behavior “lessons” from Royal for some time, has also shown that he has freed himself from the shyness that had characterized the early years of his childhood. Today he moves deftly between handshakes, pleasantries and important conversations. And under the proud eyes of his father, George demonstrated once again that he is now a Royal prepared to carry out his role, and above all ready to lend himself to anything.
Prince George grappling with typical English Christmas dishes
Having put on the charity apron and rolled up the sleeves, George immediately got to the stove and began to prepare the dishes to be served with a certain skill. Starting with it Yorkshire Puddingsthe typical savory cream puff that not only accompanies the roast and the side dishes of the English Christmas lunch, but is also an essential component of the Sunday Lunchthe traditional Sunday lunch in Great Britain.
Little George’s emotion when reading Diana’s name
The prince could not hold back his emotion when he was invited to sign the visitor’s bookthe charity’s visitor register. Opening it, George found himself resting his eyes on the same page containing the names of his father William, who was only 11 years old in 1993, and his grandmother Diana. And he reacted instinctively with a touching «Wow! OK.”
Diana’s empathy in the eyes of her nephew George
In 1993, in addition to helping in the kitchen, his father William had played chess with one of the centre’s guests and then distributed gifts. George, however, lent a hand in preparing the gift packages – full of sweets, shopping vouchers, clothing and hygiene products – to be distributed among those who need affection and support in difficult moments such as convalescence and isolation.
THE Christmas Crackers of Aston Villa
George then helped prepare a Christmas tree, donated to the charity by Westminster Abbey following the Christmas show organized by his mother Kate. But the best moment: when, in his honor, the other volunteers offered him the traditional ones Christmas Crackersthe traditional colored cylinders in the shape of a candy with a bang, which are thrown among the diners before starting the Christmas lunch, revealing games, cards with jokes and Christmas crowns. George’s were, in fact, special, packaged for the occasion with the logo ofAston Villa, the English football team of which the little prince, like his father William, is a great fan.
