【A Thought of Ecstasy】

LONDON -- Prince George is A Thought of Ecstasydifferent from your average toddler.

Obviously he's a prince, so that's one thing. But also -- and far more significantly -- it's becoming increasingly clear that he's something of a badass.

Many other children (plenty of which don't even have the pressure of having to represent their country or anything) are weak, timid creatures, but Prince George is different. Despite his small stature, he's more than capable of handling himself in even the most intimidating of political situations.

From rejected stuffed toys to rejected world leaders, here are just a few of the many occasions when Prince George has demonstrated royal levels of badassery...

1. The time he made his feelings about this stuffed toy perfectly clear.

Prince George perfected the fine art of giving zero f*cks from an early age.

During a royal visit to Australia in 2014 -- when he was just over a year old -- the miniature Prince visited a zoo and was presented with a stuffed toy bilby.

From the looks of it, though, he was less than impressed.

It's unclear from the above image whether Prince George was feeling protective of his little sister on the day of her Christening and wanted to shield her from the press, or whether he simply doesn't like photographers in general.

Either way, you don't want to cross him. He'll stare straight through that camera lens and right into your soul.

3. The time he rocked up to his first day of school like it was absolutely no big deal.

Some children are phased by their first day of school. Compared to Prince George, though, those children are weak.

Not only did Prince George rock up to school without a care in the world, but he also took part in a photoshoot AND started a new fashion trend (imagine how many British toddlers are now tottering around with tiny blue rucksacks).

4. The time he visited a military airshow and practically piloted a plane.

Okay, so he didn't exactly pilot a plane, as such, but he did put on a headset and sit in the cockpit of a Red Arrow Hawk, which is more than most of us can say.

He did it in style, too. Just look at the picture above; it's practically a still from Top Gun.

5. The time he casually greeted the Obamas in his dressing gown.

Prince George may be the only person in the world to have met the President of the United States for the first time while casually wearing a dressing gown and PJs.

6. Finally, and most recently, the time he point blank refused to high five Justin Trudeau.

Sorry Justin, but if Prince George isn't in the mood for a meet-and-greet, your high five is going to be left hanging.
