英國喬治小王子周歲生日照曝光學會獨立行走（圖）

Gorgeous new portrait of Prince George to mark his first birthday on Tuesday

Invented by the Queen on an overseas tour in 1970 to ensure she was seen by her fans, it’s been an essential part of the Royal repertoire ever since.

And now, in a portrait released to mark his first birthday on Tuesday, the third in line to the throne has shown he’s learned an early lesson from his great grandmother. Easy does it: George puts his best foot forward and shows why he's ready to continue a key Royal tradition.

Like her, he’s delighting his audience with a trademark outfit, sensible shoes and a twinkle in his eye.

But what’s all his own work is the newly-mastered art of walking – this is the first time we have seen George standing on his own two feet.

The delightful shot was captured on a family outing to the Natural History Museum’s Sensational Butterflies Exhibition in London.

The Duchess of Cambridge, who became a patron of the museum last year, took her husband and son to see it earlier this month.

Press Association Royal photographer John Stillwell was there to record the day and his lens found George practising his walking unaided.

The last time the Prince was seen in public, at a Father’s Day polo match in June, he still needed his mother’s hand to help him keep his balance.

But here, to his obvious delight, he has reached another significant milestone.

Although some babies walk as early as nine months, others can be twice that age, making George’s achievement at around ten months remarkable.

George enjoyed an early birthday celebration at the Berkshire home of his grandparents, Michael and Carole Middleton who, with the help of his Auntie Pippa, organised a Peter Rabbit-themed party with guests including Mia Tindall, Zara and Mike Tindall’s baby girl.

But his main party will be a low-key affair at Kensington Palace on Tuesday with only his closest family – including the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall – and friends in attendance.

One palace insider revealed: ‘This is a couple who do things quietly and below the radar. Kate is organising the special tea party and she will be the one baking the cake.’

綜合外國媒體報道，7月22日是英國喬治小王子的周歲生日，為了慶祝這個特殊的日子，英國王室19日公布了小王子的首張“徒步旅行”照。

據稱，徒步旅行是英國女王伊麗莎白二世于1970年出訪海外時發明的，其目的是與粉絲進行更緊密的接觸。此后，這一休閑方式逐漸流行開來、成為英國民眾的最愛，同時也是英國王室活動的重要組成部分。

從照片中可以看到，雖然年紀輕輕，但喬治小王子已經得到曾祖母的“真傳”、掌握了徒步旅行的精髓。這位英國王位第三順位繼承人身穿一條標志性的條紋牛仔背帶褲、內搭海軍藍色POLO衫、腳蹬黑色圓頭皮鞋，他揮舞雙臂，右腳踏地、左腳微抬，走得十分穩健。更為難得的是，小王子的雙眼含笑，他似乎很享受這次新嘗試。

“這可是我們第一次看見喬治小王子獨立行走！”英國《每日郵報》稱，這張照片于月初拍攝，當時喬治小王子正隨父母參觀英國自然歷史博物館蝴蝶戶外展覽。

據隨行攝影師約翰?史迪威介紹，參觀蝴蝶展時，喬治小王子一直在練習獨立行走?！八浅？蓯邸⒂凶孕牛媸且粋€堅定的小男孩。他出生時、受洗時，都是我拍攝的照片，現在感覺他在短短幾個月里突然長大了，從一個嬰孩變成幼童，這是最大的變化。至于他長得像誰？答案當然是威廉王子。”

有英國媒體稱，喬治小王子可以獨立行走這件事具有里程碑式的意義，“喬治小王子一歲學會走路，比大部分孩子要早，這標志著他邁入了成長歷程中一個新的重要階段”。

據悉，凱特王妃的父母已在他們位于伯克郡的豪宅里為外孫舉辦了一場以“彼得兔”為主題的生日派對。7月22日生日當天，威廉王子夫婦還將在肯辛頓宮舉辦一場親友聚會，為喬治小王子慶祝周歲生日。“他們夫婦二人喜歡低調行事，凱特王妃負責組織這場特殊的茶話會，她還會親自烘焙小王子的生日蛋糕。”
