The family landed in Canada on Saturday afternoon, making a sweet arrival as they touched down at Victoria military airport. The couple revealed their children were "super excited" about their trip on their airplane and, as they disembarked, little George was spotted looking fascinated by the different aircraft on the tarmac.
The three-year-old also shared an amusing moment with the Canadian Prime Minister Mr Trudeau who bent down to high-five George. After the little Prince shook his head, Mr Trudeau tried a low-five and then a handshake, both of which George declined.
