Regally entertaining

Exciting time: The young finalists posing together in front of their castle during the Little Prince and Princess Costume contest in Gurney Plaza.

PINT-SIZED young ‘monarchs’ in full regalia stood proudly before their castle to acknowledge doting subjects who were vociferous with cheers of adulation.

Vying each other for popular favour, the two dozen royal hopefuls aged five to 10 sang, danced and sashayed about in amusing displays of pomp and pageantry.
