Adorable! Princess Charlotte steals show with HEADSTAND as laughing Kate plays with George

Prince George smiled as he played with the the dark-blue toy gun while Kate watched William on the polo field.

But it was his sister Princess Charlotte who stole the show, skipping, dancing and roly-polying her way across the lawn. 

George, dressed smartly in shorts and a polo shirt, played with the gun as he joined a group of children, including sister Princess Charlotte, enjoying the outing at Beaufort Polo Club in Gloucestershire.

Kate looked every part the doting mother as she kept a watchful eye over the group, at one point consoling an upset looking George.

After a few words the prince was all smiles again as he played with Princess Charlotte and their cousin Savannah.

Charlotte was a bundle of energy as she attempted a handstand and laughed as she slid down a grass hill. 

She later raced George across a lawn with the young prince sticking out his tongue as he outpaced his sister. 

The family outing at Beaufort Polo Club in Gloucestershire was short by one member, however, with newborn Louis nowhere to be seen.

George and Charlotte instead played happily with mischievous cousin Savannah Phillips, seven, who was pictured at yesterday’s Trooping the Colour cheekily covering the prince’s mouth with her hand.

The polo match, which sees the Maserati team battle the Dhamani 1969 side, is part of the two-day Gloucestershire Festival of Polo, hosted by Beaufort Polo Club.

The event, which costs up to £150 a ticket, will raise funds for two charitable causes.

The first of which is the Royal Marsden, which the Duke supports as president, and the second is Centrepoint, of which he is patron.

The first day of the event, a highlight of the equestrian calendar, was also attended by Carol Vorderman, Lisa Maxwell and Richard Hammond.
