Add a dose of royalty to every day of the year with this calendar from Christine Frazier. The creator of The Royal Hamster cartoon, who issues regular installments on Twitter, was inspired to put her artistic talents to work when Kate revealed that George and Charlotte have a pet hamster named Marvin. "[Princess] Charlotte really likes the hamster because the whiskers always tickle her face,” Kate said. The illustrated version typically dons outfits worn by the Duchess.
