Prince George gifted with a meadow

Britain’s Prince George will receive a wildflower meadow in the Transylvanian hills as a christening gift.

The three-month-old royal will be baptised in an intimate ceremony which will take place at 3pm today (23.10.13) and Count Tibor Kalnoky, a friend of his grandfather Prince Charles opted for the extravagant gift as bouquet of flowers wouldn’t have the same ever-lasting effect.

He has been quoted saying: ”If we sent flowers they would wilt, so this is a symbolic gift.

”Wild flowers are fragile like newborn babies. This gift will protect this area and contribute to raising public awareness so that rare flowers can be protected.”

Count Tibor has long been friends with the royals and was invited to the tiny tot’s parents wedding when Prince William and Duchess Catherine – who was known as Kate Middleton before she wed into the royal family – said their vows at Westminster Abbey in April 2011.

Prince Charles has been visiting Romania regularly since 1997 and is known for buying properties in rural regions which he turns into guesthouses. This year he visited the country in late May where he is believed to have landed at the Targu Mures airport.
