Duke and Duchess of Cambridge show broody side during Royal reception Mr Vicary, 41, from Cornwall, a Warrant Officer Second Class with the Rifles, trekked to the South Pole in the footsteps of the Scott, with a team led by Warrant Officer Mark Langridge. Another group of soldiers took on the role of the Amundsen team, and just like the original race staged 100 years ago, the men following the route taken by the famous Norwegian adventurer reached the South Pole first. When William was first introduced to the couple the baby was being held by his father and the royal said "He looks very sweet" and described the youngster's name as "fantastic." The Duke of Cambridge talks to Vic Vicary, who holds his three week old son Hugo Eric Scott Vicary Photo: John Stillwell/PA Mr Vicary said: "Two months after I came back from the South Pole we had a healthy baby boy. For the name, we came up with Hugo, Eric - for my father who passed away - and Scott after Captain Scott because we were in his footsteps. The Duke liked the name he thought it was very apt, my wife asked if he would like to hold him and he took hold of him. Mr Vicary described William as a "natural" with children adding: "Kate said the baby was "very cute" and had doting eyes on him."
