The Duke and Duchess of Cambirdge’s eldest son George is quickly growing up.
Little George spent last weekend with mom and dad at the Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy event — bringing along a rather controversial item along with him: a toy gun.
Kate and the kids sat in the grass and played as dad played polo. It was then that the prince’s gun was captured in photos — a toy that is now being criticized across some circles in Britain.
The little prince played with a toy gun, a toy knife and handcuffs.

Several royal family fans have now taken to social media to criticize the family for this. They believe that it sends out wrong signals.
It’s not a joke some people lose their lives because their children thought they played with a toy and it was a real gun !! pic.twitter.com/IBJqQrXnef

At the same time, many others disagree, saying that children will be children and should be allowed to play freely, as it is all innocent.
It is well-known that the British Royal Family have many roots in the military. Both Prince William and Harry have been in the military, and according to Unilad, little George is growing up quite “fascinated by the police”. When William and Kate were visiting Finland last winter, they brought a toy police car home for George.
It has otherwise been an eventful weekend in Britain as Prince Phillip, husband to Queen Elizabeth, turned 97.
