Today (July 22nd, 2016) is Prince George’s third birthday. To celebrate the occasion, Kensington Palace released four new snaps of the youngster. I’m showing my favourite first, Prince George offering ice cream to pet pooch Lupo:
(By the way, I love the picnic blanket! Will certainly be trying to hunt that down later!)
The photographs were taken at the Cambridge family country home in Norfolk in mid-July.
Below, you can see George standing on a wooden swing, inscribed with his parents’ names. (around The Daily Mail note this was probably a wedding gift to the couple:
William and Kate’s personalised swing is from The Oak & The Rope Company and can be purchased at Not On The Highstreet in two different sizes.
The small version costs £165 (around $216 USD) and the large version is £345 (around $450)
With thanks to Gemma from FoodFashFit.com for sharing this information.
Prince George is wearing a blue striped t-shirt from Sunuva, a company that specialises in kids UV swimwear and beachwear.
The t-shirt sold out, though there’s a limited amount of stock available for pre-order. The company also sell one that’s very similar –
The Duke and Duchess asked photographer Matt Porteous to take the pictures. Mr Porteous is the Director of an award-winning creative studio based on the island of Jersey.
For those wondering, in this photograph, Prince George is wearing clothing from Pepa & Co.
His shoes are by Trotters. They’re the ‘Nantucket‘ style from the Hampton Canvas Collection.
Here’s a statement from the photographer:
“I really enjoyed the opportunity to take these photographs of Prince George. It was a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. I’m honoured that they have decided to share these images with the public to mark his third birthday.”
Kensington Palace released a short statement on behalf of William and Kate too:
“The Duke and Duchess hope that people will enjoy seeing these new photographs. They would like to thank everyone for all lovely messages they have received as Prince George celebrates his third birthday.”
I must disagree about the shorts. It’s obvious that the gap one don’t have a front button, as those in the photos do.
I’ve removed it from the post.
The photos of Prince George are lovely especially the one with the family dog Lupo, as a little girl I had pets and my dog used to love a lick of ice cream, it didn;t hurt him a bit, he loved it in fact. too much focus is laid on by people being nit-lickers, always looking on the negative side of things. Just enjoy the pics of a darling little 3 year old enjoying himself I say. cheers from the land of Aus, down under.
