A lifetime of royal duty has begun for baby Prince George, with the eight-month-old tot beginning his first ever official engagement.

Looking absolutely adorable in an all-white outfit, the chubby-cheeked babe was welcomed to New Zealand by the country’s prime minister, John Key, at the start of a three-week tour of Australasia.

And it seems as if the little boy is already a mummy's boy, sitting contentedly in the arms of his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Catherine (known to Brits as their beloved Kate Middleton) opted for a striking red Catherine Walker coat and matching hat by Gina Foster - it was very Jackie Kennedy.

The royal fashionista accessorised with a diamond brooch in the shape of New Zealand’s national symbol, the silver fern - which she borrowed from the Queen herself.

But, despite this, Prince George definitely stole the show on his first royal outing since his christening - he's just such a well behaved little prince, isn't he?

While Kate carried their son in her arms, Prince William wasn't shirking from daddy duties - the Duke was seen carrying a bad of Prince George's soft toys AND Kate's Longchamp Le Pillage bag. Way to go Will!

We imagine we'll be seeing a lot more of the royal baby as he continues his journey around New Zealand and Australia - and we're not ashamed to admit we're really looking forward to it all!
