Baby girl proves to be Prince charmer

PRINCE William found himself charmed by a baby girl as he arrived in Singapore yesterday.

Captivated William let eight-month-old Albane Costa suck on his finger at Changi Airport.

Little Albane gave the royal a mouthful of approval as her family enjoyed a three-day stopover en route from South Pacific territory New Caledonia to France.

The enchanting moment came as father-of-three William, 41, was greeted by a cheering crowd at the start of a four-day visit to Singapore for the third of his international Earthshot Prize awards.

William said it was "fantastic" to be back in the city state after 11 years.

The Prince of Wales "Singapore's bold vision to be a leader for environmental innovation sets the standard for others to follow." added:

He launched the £50million Earthshot Prize in 2020. It aims to find technological innovations solve the world's biggest environmental problems over the next decade.
