The eight-month-old future King appears on the cover of the April issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly ahead of his upcoming antipodean tour with his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The cover design – which pays homage to Prince William’s own first cover of The Weekly in 1982 – has been extremely well-received, with hundreds of compliments flooding our offices.
As well as gaining approval from our Aussie readers, the cover was also lauded by royal bloggers in the UK, who wasted no time sharing it on their Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Popular website and Twitter account British Royals, was thrilled with the cover, sharing it with their 42,000 followers with the message: “Prince George gets his first magazine cover! Australia’s Women’s Weekly mag’s April issue gears up for the royal tour.”
The British Monarchy Heir, one of the biggest Prince George Facebook fan pages, with more than 250,000 “likes”, also raved about the cover, posting it alongside our 1982 cover of William.
Royal Insight also shared the image with their 15,000 followers, expressing their excitement about the cover and the upcoming royal tour.
