Photos: Princess Charlotte's First Words in Public

Awww, these photos are SO precious!

Organisers at Government House in Victoria, British Columbia, brought in a petting zoo, complete with miniature horses, goats and rabbits, and a troupe of children's entertainers for Princess Charlotte and Prince George's visit. 

The Cambridges, who are on a week-long tour of Canada, were joined at the event by military families.

William and Kate thought the event would be a fun way to introduce the prince and princess to Canadian children.

As soon as the Duchess of Cambridge put her daughter down she toddled off - the first time she has been seen walking in public - and made a beeline for the balloon arch to the petting zoo.

As she hugged the balloons she could be heard to utter her first words in public: "Pop". William also asked: "Do you want a balloon Charlotte?" and the little tot could be heard to call William over, saying "dada".

A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "The Duke and Duchess are really pleased to have this opportunity to introduce their children to Canada and it's great that they have the chance to play with other children while they are here."

George and Charlotte have been based with their parents and nanny Maria Borrallo at Government House, the official residence of the Queen's representative in British Columbia.
