Snippets of news regarding Prince George of Cambridge have been revealed over the festive period. 

Family Christmas
The Cambridge family arrived at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall a week before Christmas. As reported previously, George was taken to see Santa at the Thursford Christmas fair by his parents Catherine and William.

Catherine's parents Carole and Michael along with siblings Pippa and James also spent the days before Christmas at Amner Hall.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the traditional Christmas Eve dinner with the royal family at Sandringham House. The next morning the couple  and the Middleton family joined the royal family at Sandringham's St Mary Magdalene church.

After church, Catherine was asked about Prince George and she commented that he was left at home. "I'm sorry we didn't bring George but you would have heard him in the church."
According to the Daily Mail, Prince William spoke to Kim Dawson from Downham Market. She said: "He said Prince George was really, really well and said that they've left him at the nursery because it's a bit cold, but they were looking forward to going back to see what destruction he had caused."

Maddison Neal, 8, gave The Duchess a gift of chocolates for the young prince. Maddison's mum Sarah revealed that her daughter had met George the previous Sunday at a service at Amner Church. "She helped him with his lantern and he blew her a kiss."

After a gathering at Sandringham House, Catherine and William then returned to George and the Middleton family at Anmer for Christmas lunch. 

Farmers Market
It has now come to light the Catherine's mother Carole took George to a farmer's market in her local village of Bucklebury.

The outing took place while The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were on an official trip to New York and Washington in early December.

According to People magazine:

Dressed in a little tweed jacket, George toured the stalls of organic vegetables and crafts and was "trying all the food," a villager tells PEOPLE. He even "went back for a second helping of Christmas pudding from one of the stalls. It was wonderful for the girl who makes them. It will make her year won't it?"

"It was just really, really sweet. He was just being like a normal toddler is, running around and exploring – he is such a sweetie. He's lovely. A real bundle of fun," the villager adds.

The hands-on grandmother is like "any other nan – real mother hen," another source says. "She just keeps telling people 'He's gorgeous, isn't he?' like any other grandmother would say about their little one."
