This Brooklyn man undertook an incredible, week-long journalistic project to get to the bottom of the Prince George Effect. So what is it exactly that makes the baby royal just so different from the rest of the world?
No, Max Knoblauch didn't call up the royal family for an interview or something predictable like that. Instead, the dedicated man spent a week dressed as the 2-year-old baby, living everyday life in the little guy's shoes.
As the dedicated journalist noted, "The first challenge would be finding the clothes in a men's large. The second challenge would be not being arrested."
The week included shopping trips and late nights spent sewing to create his perfect outfits. Knoblauch went to work dressed in these outfits, battled 90 degree summer heat in goofy sweaters, and went to "tea" at Starbucks in Greenwich Village dressed in sailboat overalls.
Though you might expect startled reactions from New Yorkers who came into contact with Knoblauch's royal-baby-look-alike project, most people didn't really seem to notice.
As it turns out, though weird overalls are a classic royal baby outfit, they also happen to be trending with artsy hipsters. Oddly enough, Knoblauch's ridiculous outfits kind of fit in with the young New York crowd.
