Prince George leaves Justin Trudeau hanging after he goes for a high five

The third in line to the throne appears to give the Canadian Prime Minister the cold shoulder

From giving a flawless explanation of quantum physics to showing off his yoga prowess, Justin Trudeau has frequently won over the hearts and laughs of the world. Nevertheless, there is one particular individual who appears less than impressed with the social media-savvy Canadian Prime Minister and that is Prince George.

The Duke of Cambridge and Kate Middleton’s eldest son might be just three years old but it appears he has already grown accomplished at putting on his airs and graces. The royal tot, who is third in line to the throne, haughtily left Mr Trudeau hanging after he tried to high five him.

Instead, the Prince, who already has a specially minted commemorative £5 coin and a stamp dedicated to him, coyly shook his head after the politician got down on one knee and cordially offered him a high five. Mr Trudeau tried a low five but this was also cast aside. His last resort attempt at a good old handshake was also swiftly shut down.

The parents later made their way to Victoria's parliament where a crowd of thousands of Canadians were dutifully waiting for them. Addressing the crowd thousands outside the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Prince William said: “The warm welcome that you gave us at that important moment in our lives meant a lot to us - and we have never forgotten it.”

“That is why we are so pleased that George and Charlotte can be with us in Canada this time round, beginning their own lifetime of friendship with this wonderful country,” he continued.
