She wore her brunette locks out to get up-close-and-personal with a ram called Fred. Catherine and her husband also watched a shearing demonstration and could be seen giggling away as a layer of wool was removed. Kate is believed to have told her spouse that he could use the wool to coverup a bald patch on his head. The royal couple are on a three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand, the first official trip overseas with their son, Prince George of Cambridge. While the youngster wasn’t at the show, Kate could be seen displaying her mothering skills as she greeted a young girl and her mother, who passed on flowers for the British royal.
