Sometimes, I’ll read a gossip story and I just have such major question marks floating over my head. Maybe I don’t know enough about child development to know what makes a child gifted or special. But this story about Prince George feels… weird…? First of all, it doesn’t come from Duchess Kate or Prince William or random, unnamed royal sources. This story comes from a “luxury travel advisor” named Claudia Gordon. Claudia recently had “lunch” with Duchess Kate. Which is hilarious to me for some reason. THIS is how Kate spends her time, people. She’s not making “secret trips” to charities. She’s lunching with luxury travel advisors to plan out her first, second and third post-baby vacations. Maldives again? Perhaps some five-star luxury hunting lodge in Kenya so William would have something to “do”. Anyway, Claudia gave an interview and she gushed about Prince George and how brilliant he is.

Prince George genius? At just shy of 2 years, Prince George has already proven himself to be a baby genius. When the royal toddler heard that his dad Prince William was visiting China, he immediately went to look for him – inside a china cabinet.

Luxury travel adviser Claudia Gordon had the good fortune of sitting down for lunch with Princess Kate recently, during which the pregnant princess shared the cute tale.

“I asked her if Prince George was excited about the new prince or princess that was coming and she said yes and that he is a toddler and is talking and walking,” Gordon told the Florida News-Press. “Then she told me that his daddy, Prince William, was visiting China. After hearing this he went to the china cabinet, opened it and proclaimed ‘daddy is not here.’ ”

Added Gordon: “She said they would work on his geography.”

It’s a cute story. It really is adorable. It’s the kind of story that a mom would tell her friends (friends = luxury travel advisors). But does it mean that George is a genius? Er? Not really. It’s just a cute story. That being said, I have high hopes for George. I hope he will be smart and compassionate and that he won’t take after either parent with their dull-as-dishwater personalities.

As for the new baby, the latest from the London gambling houses is that boy or girl, the baby will be called Sam, perhaps after Will and Kate’s friend Sam Waley-Cohen. I’m fine with Sam, which is how I know they won’t name the baby Sam. They named their firstborn George Alexander Louis, you know? The name will be super-conservative and probably sound “dated” to us. They will not name this baby Sam, Simon, Colin, Katniss, Maddie or Bella.
