STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fascinates many people, but not yet Britain's Prince George. The 3-year-old is making an official visit to Canada with his parents. Video shows Prime Minister Trudeau crouching to the kid's level. He offered a low-five, but Prince George did not respond. Trudeau tried a high-five, even a handshake, also declined. The prince mastered the royal prerogative to signal, we are not amused, which non-royal toddlers do too. It's MORNING EDITION.
