Prince George on "Vanity Fair" Cover
PEREIRA: Welcome back. It's been almost a year since the little prince, Prince George, was born. The royal sensation made a huge impact on anything from baby style to the British economy. And he has certainly turned around public opinion about the royal family.</s>VICTORIA ARBITER, CNN ROYAL CORRESPONDENT: George is like the secret weapon in the royal family, and they saw Kate step off the plane holding that baby and the monarchy is riding high again in terms of popularity.</s>BERMAN: So we're talking about this 1-year-old like he has accomplished so much through grit and hard work.</s>PEREIRA: He looks darling in a Onesie.</s>BERMAN: Now he's achieved something -- really, it's almost never in done. He's on the cover of "Vanity Fair" as a 1-year-old. Let's take our hats off to baby Prince George. He will turn 1 on July 22nd. Feels like just yesterday that he was born. And we were with, then, our royal commentator, Victoria Arbiter. She joins us now. Let's talk about Prince George. A handsome young man, strapping baby. He's sort of taken the world by storm.</s>ARBITER: He has taken the world by storm it on the one hand, he's a baby. He's third in line to the throne. So you want to know, is all the hysteria worth it. But he's got people talking about the royal family in a positive light. We saw that really come to fruition in Australia. Kate arrives with George, suddenly he's on the page of every paper and they decide they want the monarchy a little longer. He might only be 1 years old but he's pretty powerful.</s>PEREIRA: We've watched out this happens in our own families. A new baby injects spirit and joy and energy into a family. We haven't heard a whole lot about them. They've done things their own way. We talked about that. They christening, at the wedding. Is there a sense of that in England, they're just sort of doing this their own way and keeping it under wraps, this child's' life?</s>ARBITER: Very much so. I think William grew up in the fish bowl that is the royal family and he's going to want to protect George from it as long as possible. George stands to be the first monarchy of the 22nd century. He has a lifetime of service and duty. And so I think William and Kate, they understand that, to a degree, they are publicly bound, as far as duty's concerned, to share George with the world. But at the same time, they want him to have a normal childhood.</s>BERMAN: You make an important point. I've been joking a little bit about all he's accomplished. He's a 1-year-old baby. But it is his parents and the family who have done this and managed this to an extent. I'm sure they want to raise him in the perfect way that any parent would. They're also raising a future king and a public figure.</s>ARBITER: It was quite interesting to see him on the play date in Australia. There's this idea that they're closeted away at Kensington Palace and he can only play with upper crust babies. Yet, Kate plunked him down with regular children from regular families. George was stealing toys with other children. He was making them cry. He seemed very confident, very self assured. But what was nice for William and Kate, they didn't rush in and try to rectify the situation.</s>PEREIRA: They weren't helicopter parents.</s>ARBITER: Right, they just let the baby be a baby.</s>BERMAN: I think they probably do own a helicopter.</s>ARBITER: He may fly helicopters.</s>PEREIRA: Talk of a second child in the "Vanity Fair" article.</s>ARBITER: Michaela, talk of a second baby started the minute they left the hospital. This is just going to be Kate's cross to bear during her baby years. Yes, certainly, there will be another child at some point. William and Harry are two years apart. Kate and Pippa are two years apart. They're going to want their family to be close and enjoy each other's company. At the same time, I don't think there's any rush. They're enjoying George as he is right now. They've got a lot on their plate with the rest of the year in store. So perhaps the end of the year, they might start talk about another baby.</s>BERMAN: What will he do next? What will this Prince George do next that will shock us all?</s>PEREIRA: "Spotlight: The Little Prince" airs tonight 10:00 eastern right here on CNN. I know you're checking it out.</s>BERMAN: I like the royals.</s>PEREIRA: I know you do.</s>BERMAN: And this prince.</s>PEREIRA: And the World Cup.</s>BERMAN: Another big story we can't stop talking about. Germany faces off against Argentina on Sunday.</s>PEREIRA: Catholic fans, do they cheer for Argentina, the homeland of Pope Francis, or do they back Germany, the native country of Pope Benedict XVI?</s>BERMAN: Both are big soccer fans. Earlier, Pope Francis, huge soccer fan, had this to say, it's going to be war.</s>PEREIRA: I can't wait to see. Maybe they'll be tweets.</s>BERMAN: But Francis, you know, showed up to games. He was really into soccer when he was in Argentina. I want this for him.</s>PEREIRA: Wait, do you want that for the pope and you want the Cleveland thing for Jason?</s>BERMAN: My statement is --</s>PEREIRA: I'm confused.</s>BERMAN: -- I want LeBron to go to the Vatican.</s>PEREIRA: Thanks for joining us @THISHOUR. I think I need a weekend. I'm Michaela Pereira. I'm John Berman. "LEGAL VIEW" with Ashleigh Banfield starts now.
