Back in 2014, crowds gathered at the Sandringham Estate hoping to catch a glimpse of the royal family’s youngest star at the time: 17-month-old Prince George. Many were excited to see Prince William and Kate’s first child as the family made their traditional walk to St Mary Magdalene Church.
But when the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared without their son, fans were left surprised.
At the time, Prince George was just one year old, and William and Kate had decided it was best to leave him at home. According to onlookers, the chilly weather played a part in the decision.
One well-wisher told The Mirror that Prince William reassured the crowd, saying George was “doing really well” and had been left at the nursery because it was cold. He reportedly joked that they were looking forward to heading back home to see “what destruction he’s created.”
Another added that the couple said Prince George was “having a lovely day” despite missing the outing.
