As someone who has to report daily on the lives of certain high-profile people of the world, I feel where this dude is coming from. The media’s fascination with Prince George has sparked an interest in one Mashable reporter named Max Knoblauch – who is 23 and lives in Brooklyn. Now, Max has been watching this rise since the birth of the little dude and decided what better way to figure out what makes George George than by dressing like him. For a week. And prance around New York to see if anyone would treat him differently.

I chose to start with the blue sweater George wore during the birth of his sister, Princess Charlotte. What better outfit to symbolise the “birth” of my week as a royal baby? I would tell several people about this symbolism throughout my first day.

In the video, Max describes the feeling, saying “I feel high. I feel high like I’ve never felt. And I’ve felt a lot of highs.”

Day two would be a set of overalls, customised with a sailboat patch.

Anyway, on day three I wore shorteralls.

On day four, I wore a classic royal family outfit. The white-shirt-tucked-into-red-shorts look was not only worn by Prince George, but also by his father, Prince William. I had customized it to perfection with some yarn I had and felt like a prince.

I decided to spend my last day as Prince George mostly in the office. Wearing George’s classic Christmas sweater, expertly sewed by my own hands the night before. I wanted to make sure that my coworkers could see how far I’d come.

At the end, Max has a hard time letting go of his newly influenced attire.

My week as a royal baby taught me many things. New Yorkers do not care what you wear. It’s surprisingly easy to dress like a baby by shopping at Macy’s. You should not let your coworkers’ words hurt you. Crocs aren’t so bad. Most importantly, though: stunt journalism like this is vitally important.

Perhaps I should dress like Trump for a week. What you think?
