Kensington Palace has released four new gorgeous photos to celebrate Prince George’s 3rd Birthday on 22 July 2016.

Jersey-based photographer Matt Porteous took these photos at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, in mid-July.

A Kensington Palace spokesman said:

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hope that people will enjoy seeing these new photographs. They would like to thank everyone for all the lovely messages they have received as Prince George celebrates his third birthday.

Photographer Matt Porteous added:

“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.”

Prince George was born at 4.24 pm on 22 July 2013 in the Lindo Wing at London’s St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge brought Prince George when they visited Australia in 2014, including officially opening the new Bilby Enclosure at Taronga Zoo.

He became a big brother on 2 May 2015 when his sister, Princess Charlotte, was born.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to be celebrating the little prince’s birthday in private.
