Estelle is one little girl who doesn't have to kiss frogs to find her handsome prince.  Not only does she have a prince as a daddy and as an uncle, she's also going to be a queen in her own right one day so doesn't really need to find a prince of her own.  But she looked fascinated, if a little dubious, about her up close look at the animals on show at the exhibition she helped open.  And she's set the pace for George who is following in her little footsteps as a future monarch starting on the engagements early.
