Prince George's passions: Planes, dinosaurs, nature and more

As Prince George turns three on July 22, the adorable toddler is already showing a growing interest in activities outside of the playground. With a love for the outdoors and choppers, this royal tot has proven to be a little action man-in-the-making. Click through for a look at some of the future King's favorite things.

SportsIt's no surprise with his athletic parents, that George has picked up a fondness for sports. At less than two weeks old, the little Prince was gifted a miniature polo stick. George has been spotted swinging a little mallet around the grounds of his father Prince William and uncle Prince Harry’s polo matches.
William isn't the only member of the Cambridge household who has influenced George when it comes to sports. The tot has also taken after his mother on the tennis courts playing at his family’s home at Anmer Hall. Kate, an avid tennis fan, told retired British player Greg Rusedski, “[George’s] got a racket and he enjoys playing tennis.”

DinosaursWhile his family's history dates way back, George has an interest in figures from millions of years ago: dinos. The Duchess of Cambridge told attendees at an Art Fund gala held in London's Natural History Museum that her son is a regular visitor of the dinosaur exhibition, which includes a vast diplodocus skeleton cast known as Dippy. A guest revealed, “The Duchess says George comes here a lot.”

AircraftsLike father, like son. Prince George shares a love for aircrafts like his dad Prince William, who served as a search and rescue helicopter pilot. The little royal was in his element visiting the Royal International Air Tattoo in 2016 with his parents, where he hopped in and out of planes and helicopter cockpits. During the outing the two-year-old asked his mom, "Mummy, can I fly the Red Arrow now?" to which William gently replied "Not right now."

NatureJust because he's a future King, doesn't mean George has a problem getting down and dirty when it comes to playtime. In fact the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree with the little Prince sharing a love for nature like his grandfather, gallery_1_1 WheelsAs with most little boys, George has taken an affinity to wheels — something he likely inherited from his motor-loving dad Prince William. At age two, the Princess Charlotte's brother scored his first set of wheels: a $200 toy tractor. Around the time, Kate Middleton admitted that her little boy is "obsessed" with tractors and anything that has "big wheels." While George enjoys cars, the Duchess is hoping to keep her son off motorbikes like his father. The royal mom confessed that she is "filled with horror" every time William goes for a spin on his motorbike. "I'm terrified," she said. "Hopefully, I'm going to keep George off it!"
