Prince William jokes that Prince George would 'never forgive' him if he forgot special souvenir

William joked: 'George will never forgive me'.

Prince George would 'never forgive' his dad if he forgot to bring him home a special souvenir from work, according to Prince William.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis may not be able to keep any of the gifts people send to them, but we're certain they've got plenty of toys from their mum and dad to play with.

The little royals are still too young to fully appreciate the perks of being in the royal family. However, it seems Prince George does have certain expectations when it comes to his dad's coming-home-from-a-day-of-work-treats...

Five-year-old Prince George is known to be a huge fan of emergency vehicles and especially helicopters and airplanes.

So when William returned to work for the first time this year with a visit to the Air Ambulance Charity in London, the father-of-three knew he couldn't return home empty-handed and a souvenir was needed.

Luckily the father-of-three was handed what looks to be a toy model of the helicopter he flew in the morning and he knew his eldest son would love it.

Joking to the audience William said: 'I can't get back without a helicopter; George will never forgive me.'

This isn't the first time that George has requested his father bring him a souvenir from work.

Back in December when Prince William visited the Royal Air Force station in Cyprus with Kate he told the pilots: 'I told George this morning we were going to see the pilots today, and he said, "If you see a helicopter can you take a picture?"'.

During his first royal visit for 2019 William was also handed what looks to be a soft toy for his other son Prince Louis.

The youngest of the Cambridge brood is set to reach a big milestone as William said he'd be chewing it in no time, suggesting the little prince is getting his first teeth through.

Prince William said: 'That will get on extremely well. Louis will be chewing that before long.'

Princess Charlotte didn't get any specific gifts but her dad said she would love the card some of the children had made for her mother's birthday.

It's thought the family of five chose to celebrate Kate's birthday privately at Kensington Palace with some cake and a tea party.
