DARCY’S

TROOPERS

W

hat is it about

PrinceGeorge

that meltsmy

heart?I can’t

seea

new photo of theboy

without oohing and

aahing. I’ve loved

watching him grow

and come into his

own since the dayhe

was born, and onJuly

22, the boy who willbe

king turned six.

My favourite Woman’s

Day cover was George’s

baby issue. While I love

the pomp and pageantry

of royal weddings, George’s

arrival was extremely sweet

and special. We always know

exactly when a wedding will

take place – down to the

minute – but it’s not the case

with babies and I remember

the feverish anticipation

ahead of George’s birth.

Finally, the Duke and

Duchess of Cambridge –

resplendent in blue – came

through the hospital doors

holding tiny George. It really

was a Lion King moment

• presenting the cub who
  would be our future king to
  the world. At Woman’s Day
  we celebrated briefly, before
  pumping out an award-
  winning commemorative
  issue in four hours – the
  first mag in the world to
  hit newsstands.
  I think I’ve been obsessed
  with George ever since! I love

hathe’s been

mischievous since

aydot, regularly

entertaining us with

hisshenanigans.

Hemaybethird in line to

the throne, but it doesn’t

stop him rolling down hills,

poking his tongue out or

throwing a strop. If Wills and

Kate wanted their son to

have as carefree a childhood

as possible despite royal

constraints, judging by the joy

on his face, they’ve done it.

I was excited to hear

George had a Star Wars party!

My darling Darcy had a Star

Wars theme for his seventh

birthday, and it was a wild

success – and so easy to

organise! Basically, everyone

came in their

favourite Star

Wars costume

(except for one

little Spider-Man,

of course) and

they all went

crazy with their

lightsabers.

Perfect.

act like I do.”
