THE Duchess of Cambridge has been photographed unawares with Prince George in Australia during a day off from official engagements.
Kate was snapped while taking a stroll with her son in the grounds of Government House at Yarralumla in Canberra, apparently by the paparazzi.
The images show George being carried on his mother's shoulders, being pushed in a buggy and sitting on Kate's lap as the pair play together.
The Duke and Duchess were also photographed without their knowledge walking hand in hand along the foreshore of Lake Burley Griffin at Government House, casually dressed in shirts, jumpers and jeans.
The pictures taken on a rest day during their tour down under are likely to be seen as an intrusion into the couple's privacy by aides.
Tomorrow, William and Kate will travel to Uluru, one of Australia's most iconic sites. The Cambridges will tour the popular tourist attraction - also know as Ayers Rock - that is a sacred site for the area's Aboriginal people.
The visit will be only their second night away from their eight-month-old son during their 19-day tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The couple took their baby to Sydney's Taronga Zoo, where George met a bilby - a rabbit-like marsupial - that was named after him.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
