Royal tot pictured walking for the first time, cuddling bunnies and even appearing to KNIGHT a clown
PRINCESS Charlotte has walked and spoke in public for the first time -- running towards balloons and yelling "pop".
The Royal tot was taking part in her first official joint engagement with older brother and future King Prince George.
A children's garden party at Government House in Victoria, Canada welcomed the adorable pair as guests of honour on Thursday.
They played with the children of Canadian military families on the grounds of the estate -- the traditional home of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge told of how happy they were about the chance for little George, three, and Charlotte, one, to play with other kids.
The family were pictured entering the party hand-in-hand, with George wearing his classic shorts, shirt and jumper combo while Charlotte wore a sky blue dress with royal blue cardy.
She ran off as soon as mum Kate set her down, making a beeline straight for the balloons that lined the marquee.
At the end of the tent sat a petting zoo, where she was seen cuddling a fluffy bunny.
Meanwhile, Prince George looked fascinated by a bubble machine.
Later, the family reunited again to have some colourful balloon shapes made for them -- with Charlotte even appearing to knight the bowler-hatted clown.
Earlier their mum Kate Middleton proved she is unlikely to go off the rails - after a daredevil display on the edge of a railway bridge during the royal visit to Canada.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge balanced their way along a narrow sleeper after inspecting a grand old steam train in the Yukon province.
One misstep might have seen Kate - wearing a designer grey cardigan - and hubby Wills topple into an icy lake.
The royal couple are spending a day away from tots Prince George and Princess Charlotte as they visit the remote and picturesque northern region.
And they travelled back in time, taking the same White Pass and Yukon Route train the Queen and Prince Philip had in 1959.
Wills was desperate to view the train after being told how his grandparents had ridden the steamer nearly 60 years ago.
So desperate in fact that he coaxed Kate down the narrow gap between the engine and Lake Bennett to take a closer look.
The couple's guide on the day, Chief Andy Carvill, said: "The Duke asked if he could go in and they got inside the train and blew the steam whistle.
"I told them about the Queen's coach and they were pleased to hear that."
The Duke and Duchess were welcomed with cheers and waves when they began their tour of Canada’s “Wilderness City” yesterday– after spending the night in a rural three-star inn without their children.
Thousands of well-wishers lined streets in the centre of Whitehorse, in the northern province of Yukon, to greet the royal couple mid-way through their royal tour.
William and Kate enjoyed a tour the MacBride Museum of Yukon History, with the Duchess stunning onlookers in a vibrant red coat by Carolina Herrera.
To complete her outfit, she opted for a deep red clutch bag and burgundy heels – a step away from her favourite nude court shoes.
In the days of the Klondike gold rush, Whitehorse began as a transportation hub and the royal couple learnt about the prospectors panning for gold in the Yukon Territory.
Later, the Duke and Duchess made their way to Carcross, which has a population of less than 300, where they will receive a traditional welcome from the Carcross/Tagish First Nation.
The First Nations are the various groups of Aboriginal Canadians who are neither Inuit or Metis.
After completing a tour of Carcross, the couple will then visit the spectacular Montana Mountain, before returning to Victoria to be reunited with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
