“Prince George, of whom l had a ‘close-up’ one day last week, is to niy mind, the best-looking of Their Majesties’ children,” snvs an English writer. “Of them all he is modlike the Queen, who as overyliody u will agree, is a very handsome woman. Prince George is taller than either of his elder -brothers, the Prince of AA ales and the Duke of \prk, and has a very good figure. His hair is light brown, and he has his father's clear blue eves, under dark level brows. His skin has the healthy glow of youth red under tan, and his lips, ..which aro rather lull and well-colored, curl upwards when lip smiles, in a wav that n> characteristic of the Royal Family. Ibis young Prince lias a nice speaking voice, too, easy and natural and when lie has gained a little more confidence, should prove one of our most agreeable after-dinner speakers. It would be a good tiling if I mice George were allowed to take over sonic of the social engagements winch fall heavily upon the shoulders ot Ins elder brothers, for I think fie would soon become nearly as popular as .the Prince of AY ales' and tlio Duke of York.”
