Prince George has resumed his studies at Lambrook School after his vacation, while Prince William has also recommenced his duties. On Tuesday, the Prince of Wales conferred MBEs to deserving individuals. During the ceremony, as he awarded an MBE to Non Stanford, a distinguished triathlete who won a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games, the father of three royal youngsters disclosed that his eldest son has developed a keen interest in the discipline that encompasses running, swimming, and cycling. Non, now retired from the sport, shared with the press, “He conversed with me about how George has been engaging in triathlons at his school.”
She further elaborated, saying, “There is also an individual in Prince William’s employ who possesses experience in triathlons and has been mentoring George, providing him with advice on the judicious application of talcum powder within his athletic footwear. George, in turn, has been generously distributing his talc among his peers, and they are all invigorated by these insights.”
Talcum powder has been favored by triathletes for its utility in easing the insertion of feet into cycling and running shoes, as well as mitigating friction during the course of a race.
It is highly probable that the young royal experienced an exhilarating Halloween evening on Tuesday, partaking in the customary tradition of trick-or-treating alongside his siblings. In a previous year, Jay Rutland, the spouse of Tamara Ecclestone, disclosed that Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, had embarked on a trick-or-treating expedition with her offspring within their Kensington locale last October.
Jay reminisced, “Kate, accompanied by her children, visited our London residence on Halloween, engaging in the age-old custom of ‘Trick or Treating.’ She was exceedingly amiable and exhibited a down-to-earth demeanor.”
In 2019, the royal mother was sighted perusing Halloween attire in the Hardwick branch of Sainsbury’s, located in King’s Lynn, a proximity to their Norfolk abode, Anmer Hall, during the autumn half-term. An eyewitness, Kathy Whittaker, relayed her observations to The Mirror at the time, stating, “She was in the company of Charlotte and George, perusing Halloween ensembles. Her security detail diligently monitored individuals wielding mobile devices, cautioning against capturing photographs. Nonetheless, I managed to secure a photograph of her as she utilized the self-service checkout.”
“I did not witness the specifics of her purchases. However, the lady who apprised me of her presence was accompanied by children, and she relayed that Kate was inquiring about her children’s intended Halloween costumes. It is my belief that she procured some Halloween accoutrements for her offspring, although I lack precise knowledge of the items selected.”
George initiated his half-term holiday with great excitement, as his father whisked him away to France to witness the quarter-final match of the Rugby World Cup, pitting Argentina against Wales.
Regrettably, the match culminated in disappointment for the father-son duo, as Wales met their elimination from the tournament, suffering a 17-29 defeat at the hands of the South American nation.
