But yesterday the Queen got a chopper from her Sandringham home in Norfolk to Kensington Palace, in central London, while Charles drove.
Charles had come under some criticism for not visiting his new grandson earlier, when granny Carole Middleton had visited the same night.
They both stayed for around an hour and a half.
