Kate Middleton Brings Prince George to William's Polo Match 2014/06/15

With just over a month to go until his first birthday, Prince George made a bid for freedom during a day out at the polo with his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Dressed in a smart pair of pink dungarees and a neat white polo shirt, the little prince wriggled in his mother's arms until she put him down, whereupon he attempted to crawl away from her - and into the path of a polo pony - before swiftly being picked up again.
Mother and son were at the at the Cirencester Park Polo Club to watch the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry battle it out as they took part in the annual Jerudong Trophy polo match.
This year's event was a family affair with Prince George giggling happily as his mother showed him the ropes and allowed him to grab on to a mallet while walking through the pony lines.
The Duchess herself was typically stylish and wore her favourite Me + Em breton striped top with a pair of skinny dark blue jeans and a chic pair of beige and white loafers.
Beaming broadly, she smiled as proud father Prince William, who was enjoying his first Father's Day, made his way over to his wife and child during a break in play, even giving Prince George a slug of his water - much to the baby's delight.
And the family weren't the only royals to indulge in a polo match today. The Queen, fresh from celebrating her official birthday yesterday, joined the Duke of Edinburgh to watch the action during the Cartier Polo Cup, held at Guards Polo Club in Windsor Great Park.
Elegant in royal blue Angela Kelly, the monarch was on smiley form as she toured the ground and watched play get underway ahead of a busy week which includes five scheduled appearances at Royal Ascot next week.
A keen racing fan, the Queen's career as a racehorse breeder and owner spans more than 60 years, and began with the handful that she was left by her father George VI.
Since then, her horses have since triumphed in more than 1600 races, including all five British Classics, with the exception of the Epsom Derby, although she has managed a second place finish with Aureole in 1953 and came third in 2011 with Carlton House.
While the Derby has so far eluded her, the Queen has bred some of the finest horses ever to race in the UK, among them Dunfermline who managed to win both the Epsom Oaks and St. Leger Stakes in 1977, Carozza, who triumphed in the Epsom Oaks in 1957 and Pall Mall who took the 2,000 Guineas in 1958.
Last year, Royal Ascot was the scene of another triumph for the Queen, after her filly Estimate romped home to take the prestigious Gold Cup - much to the obvious delight of the monarch.
And it seems that this year's event, which opens on Tuesday, could prove just as lucky. 'Oh, I think she absolutely has a chance this year - without any question,' reveals Royal Ascot's head of international racing, Nick Smith.
'She has a fighting chance of winning the Gold Cup for the second year running with Estimate but she will also have a couple of other runners.'
Her appearance at next week's Royal Ascot will be the latest in a series of engagements, which began two weeks ago with the State Opening of Parliament and a state visit to France for the D-Day celebrations, before visits to a school and Trooping the Colour this week.
