Prince William was left stunned after a cheeky grinning baby bit his finger while on a royal visit in Singapore.
But the Prince didn’t mind at all when eight-month-old Albane Costa chomped down for a taste of the future King’s royal digit. Taking the time to speak to the boy’s mother and to Albane, William gave him a large grin as the baby held his hand and looked up at him with a smile.
The dad-of-three then moved on to speak to others waiting in line while on his visit to Singapore. After arriving on Sunday (November 5) in Changi Airport, William was met by thousands of royal fans bearing signs and Union Jack fans.
He has travelled to the south-east Asian island for the Earthshot Prize, which is in its third year after being set up by William and the Royal Foundation in 2021. Five winners each year are awarded for their work in contributing to environmentalism, and are given a £1 million grant to continue their work.

In other news relating to Prince William ’s endeavours, reports claim the future King as “finally” won over Kate Middleton in a decision about Prince George’s future. The 10-year-old, allegedly against the wishes of his mother who will miss her son “terribly”, will be attending Eton boarding school when the time comes.

The source added: “Plus, she’ll miss George desperately. She and William argued about it for years, but he has finally won.” William boarded at Eton himself back in 1995, boarding during the week and staying with the late Queen at Windsor Castle on the weekends.
After George himself apparently claimed he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, Kate has now given in. “But she’s still heartbroken. She was horribly bullied at her first boarding school, and can’t bear the thought of George suffering through that,” the source added.
