Kate Middleton & Prince William Thank New Zealand for Welcoming Them & Their 'Bonny Lad' Prince George!

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton) beams as she admires the newly unveiled portrait Queen Elizabeth II by New Zealand artist Nick Cuthell at the Government House on Thursday (April 10) in Wellington, New Zealand.

The 32-year-old royal was joined by her husband Prince William, 31, on the fourth day of their royal tour.

During the art unveiling, Prince William gave a speech, where he referenced his son Prince George.

“I swear I heard him doing the haka this morning,” Prince William joked, in reference to an ancestral dance from the Maori people of the nation. “I hope that George doesn’t keep you up! He’s a bonny lad and you’ll be pleased to know that he’s currently preparing for life as a prop forward!”
