When Kate Middleton takes Prince George on a playdate, the results are royally cute. We learned this key lesson today in Wellington, New Zealand.

The eight-month-old youngster joined parents Kate and William for his very first royal engagement inside the Blundell Room at Government House.

Photos of the future King of England’s playdate with local toddlers offered up a glimpse at the would-be monarch’s personality … and/or were just super cute:

While the future monarch crawled across the crowded room, proud father Prince William marveled: “He goes right up to the door and peers through.”

The latest milestone from George? “He’s teething!” Kate Middleton revealed.

Other playdate highlights? The royal baby grabbing a purple tambourine, throwing a blue plastic block and banging on a baby drum set with Isabella Tunstall.

“Isabella and George had a lot of fun on the drums,” her dad Ryan said. “It was a pleasure sharing our beautiful baby with the duke and duchess.”

“The whole thing was a wonderful highlight,” he added.
