Duke and Duchess of Cambridge unveil portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in New Zealand, Prince William jokes about baby George

The royal family continue their trip in Wellington, New Zealand, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge left Prince George behind to attend a state reception at Government House on Wednesday night.

They ended their day, which they spent at Blenheim honoring fallen soldiers from World War I and later at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, by presenting a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Nick Cuthell, a Wellington artist.

According to E! Online, Prince William said in his speech, "On this visit, I have no doubt that it will be Catherine—and not just me—who falls for New Zealand.”

He also joked about their 8-month-old son, saying "I swear I heard him doing the haka this morning," which is a traditional Maori dance.

ABC News notes Prince George had a play date with a bevy of other babies in New Zealand on Wednesday. The day was a modernized version of the royal crawl over thirty years ago when Prince William visited New Zealand as a baby.
