The photos, taken earlier this month by his
mother Kate, officially known as the Duchess of Cambridge, were
issued by Kensington Palace late on Tuesday, the night before
the young prince's birthday.
William and Kate's three children are rarely seen in public and
few photographs of them are released, but it has become a
tradition for snapshots taken by Kate to be published on special
occasions.
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share two
new photographs of Prince George ahead of his seventh birthday
tomorrow," Kensington Palace said in a statement. It did not say
where the photos were taken.
One showed George dressed in a dark green polo shirt, his hair
neatly brushed, while in the other he wore a t-shirt with a
camouflage pattern and his hair was tousled. He appeared to have
lost one or more of his milk teeth.
Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge was born in the
private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London in July 2013
and made his first public appearance a day later, when his
parents stood on the hospital steps in front of a huge crowd of
photographers and camera crews.
As Britain takes its first steps out of COVID-19 lockdown, and
with holiday options limited, George is expected to spend his
birthday at home. Last year, he celebrated his big day on
vacation with his family on the Caribbean island of Mustique.
George is the eldest of the Cambridges' three children. Sister
Charlotte is 5 and brother Louis is 2.
