未来的国王小乔治周二就满9个月了。在动物园，小王子见到了围栏中三岁半的兔耳袋狸“乔治”。 这只兔耳袋狸本来叫“博伊”，不过在两个月前，为了庆祝去年诞生的乔治小王子，它被改名为“乔治”。

The infant Prince, carried by his mother when they arrived, looked on in wonder at the crowd surrounding the enclosure and then wriggled his arms and legs in excitement, squealing and gurgling when he spotted his namesake bilby.

“他想去够袋狸的耳朵”，32岁的凯特王妃说道，她身着一件黄色的连衣裙。“他要是够了就不会放手了”，威廉王子这样说着自己的儿子，还亲昵地亲了下小乔治的头顶。
