A Wave Goodbye from the Airport

After attending both ANZAC Day services in Canberra it was time to head for the airport and home. The Duchess had young Prince George well in hand.

George’s nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, was deployed and carrying the precious cargo.

Is it possible George wants to stay?

Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the Governor-General’s wife, Lady Cosgrove, can be seen taking part in the formal goodbye.

The look on Prince George’s face in the photo above is priceless.

If only we knew what Prince George was looking at!

On its Facebook page, Media Mode shared this photo of the family changing planes in Sydney.

Kate wore the Michael Kors coat she had on for the National ANZAC Day service at the War Memorial. This shot from earlier in the day offers a good look at the coat from the back.

As well as her Alexander McQueen heels.

We’ll be back in a day or two with a much more comprehensive post, including wardrobe hits and misses, as well as other observations
