The 3-year-old George made headlines in the United Kingdom when George, seemingly shy and overwhelmed, declined to high-five and then shake the hand of Trudeau during the arrival ceremony Saturday at the airport in Victoria, BC.
The prime minister was among several dignitaries waiting on the tarmac to greet the royals when they emerged from their flight. Videos and photos of the interaction were shared widely by British media.
The Daily Mail shared a story with the headline: "Sorry, one doesn't high-five with commoners."
The kids are remaining in Victoria as their parents visit other parts of British Columbia and Western Canada until October 1 on their first official overseas trip as a family of four.
On the second day of their trip the British royal couple flew on a float plane to Vancouver, where they were greeted at the waterfront by several hundred fans who gave them a raucous welcome.
The couple then stopped at an outreach center for women with drug and alcohol addictions who are pregnant or parenting.
A staff member introduced them to a 5-year-old girl, who gave them teddy bears.
"George would love this," William said as he accepted a teddy bear in a black vest.
Charlotte, 1, is on her first overseas trip. George is on his second.
Syrian refugees who met the royal couple said they wish more world leaders were as attentive to their country's plight. Canada has welcomed more than 30,000 refugees since Trudeau became prime minister.
