Prince George has been seen increasingly in public with his parents as he prepares for a lifetime of service, whether that is at celebrations for King Charles's Coronation or joining his parents at sporting events. However, he ticked off one of the most important duties for a royal child at a very young age.<\/p>\n

The oldest of the Wales children has already been on a number of official tours across the world and has carried out engagements everywhere from New Zealand to Canada.<\/p>\n

And in one video from the family in Sydney in 2014, George's delight and excitement at meeting one cute zoo animal which had been named after him is very sweet. The clip also sees the Princess of Wales issue a hilarious warning to the zookeeper after he asks whether George would like to touch one of the animals.<\/p>\n

On their official tour of Australia in 2014, <\/span>Prince George delighted royal fans as he was taken to visit Taronga Zoo in Sydney. The young prince, dressed in a smart blue top, met a bilby also called George and later did his first-ever plaque unveiling – albeit with a bit of help from Prince William!<\/span><\/p>\n

As George peered through the clear fence at the Australian animal, a zookeeper encouraged his parents to allow him to touch the small marsupial. But Kate was very hesitant and quickly explained that George \u201chas quite a strong grip\u201d. His father added that "if he gets it, he\u2019ll never let it go," before kissing George on the head.<\/p>\n

Prince George was clearly very excited to be at the zoo as he loudly squealed and flapped his arms and legs up and down<\/u> <\/b>– much to the delight of the onlooking photographers. As a parting gift, he was given a soft toy bilby- which he promptly threw on the floor – and a car sticker, which was obviously too delicious to let go of, as he began to chew it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The family\u2019s 2014 trip had begun in New Zealand when ten-month-old George was carried down the plane steps at Wellington Airport in his mother\u2019s arms, before departing for Government House. <\/p>\n

His first appearance was hugely compared to Prince William\u2019s own debut in Australia at the same age. In 1983, William dazzled the cameras as he tried to crawl away from the press call not once, but twice.<\/p>\n

During their time in New Zealand in 2014, Prince George got his first taste of public duty as he took part in an infant play date. While there, he made a little girl cry, chewed on his mum\u2019s hair and gave her the sweetest cuddle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This trip was by no means George\u2019s last taste of royal duties abroad as he and his younger sister, Princess Charlotte, joined their parents on a trip to Canada in 2016.<\/p>\n

On day six of the family\u2019s eight-day tour, the young royals attended a children\u2019s party at Government House, which had been equipped with bubbles, balloons and a petting zoo. George and Charlotte were clearly in their element as they excitedly played with bubbles and watched a balloon artist fashion a flower for the young princess.<\/p>\n

Prince George also joined his parents for their tour of Poland and Germany in 2017 where he got the chance to explore a helicopter. His excitement was no doubt a joy for Prince William to see as he is a trained helicopter pilot and previously flew for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
