Prince George might only be 3 years old, but he broke plenty of hearts in Canada.

Around a week ago, he left Justin Trudeau hanging when the Canadian prime minister tried to give him a high-five. Then on Saturday in Victoria, he did the same thing to a 9-year-old boy in a hoodie.

Sorry, Prince George fans. Whether you're a world leader or a child, you're not getting any of that royal palm.

Not that George -- son of Prince William and Princess Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge -- was cold.

Looking dapper in shorts and a sweater, he enthusiastically waved to adoring fans as the royal family exited a van and made their way to a sea plane on the final day of their Canadian tour.

He even busted out the rare double-wave.

He then shook some hands like a true statesman -- although he didn't seem too thrilled about it.

Then he was off to another adventure! Next stop: London. It looks like Prince George might need to take a nap on the plane.

The family spent the last day of their eight-day trip touring the Cridge Centre for the Family, an institution that provides care for children and women who have experienced domestic abuse.

William, Kate, George and 17-month-old Princess Charlotte are headed back to London, where, hopefully, the little prince can get a break from international diplomacy and just play with some toys.
