George, Charlotte at party for military children in Victoria

Prince George and Princess Charlotte have played with children of the Canadian military families at a rare joint appearance at an official event. Charlotte, 16 months, was heard speaking in public for the first time — saying “pop” at the balloons that filled Government House in Victoria. The residence was set up got a perfect kids party including a petting zoo and miniature ponies. The play day comes on day six of the royals eight-day tour of Canada. It is the first official trip all four of the family have been on together.
