Prince George Upstages Prince Charles in Earth Hour Address
When it comes down to it, regardless of rank or station, we're all just human beings. And Prince Charles is no different than any other grandpa: he just wants to show off pictures of his grandson.
It also probably doesn't hurt that everyone everywhere is always interested in any new picture of Prince George, future King of England. So if you're a royal looking to draw some attention to a cause you're supporting — like, say, Earth Hour — a nice strategy is to toss in a brand new picture of the youngest royal in the background. Which is exactly what Prince Charles did in a PSA released on Friday, encouraging people to participate in Earth Hour.
Keen observers immediately noticed the new picture of Prince George.

Enough reading into Prince Charles having a picture of Prince George in the background. It was a photo. Quit stirring the pot already.

It should also be noted that several British tabloids have recently reported that Princes Charles and George do not spend much time together either because Charles does not like the Middleton family or because Kate and Charles's wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles, do not get along. It's highly likely this photo is a subtle way of denying those rumors.
In a month or so, Charles is going to have two grandchildren to show off so, if you need a PSA recorded for something, now's probably a good time to ask him.
