Fans of Prince George are given an early Christmas gift as the royal palace release photos of the little prince.
Prince George's Christmas pictures have been released on Saturday, according to US Magazine.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge published the photos as a "thank you" treat to the media. The royal couple expressed their gratitude since their son Prince George was able to grow up "without the intrusion from photography," BBC News reported.
The pictures were taken in late November. Prince Harry's private secretary, Edward Lane Fox, who is also a freelance photographer, took the photos. The little prince was shown to be seated on the stone steps in London's Kensington Palace's courtyard.
Prince George was wearing a blue sleeveless jumper with a marching guardsmen woven on it. The garment was speculated to have come from Cath Kidston, according to BBC News. He was also wearing a white top and dark shorts with matching socks and shoes.
In one of the images, the prince seemed to have a "quizzical look" while his right hand gestured as if making an announcement, according to Sky News. In another shot, Prince George was grinning while the third image showed the prince staring at something.
Prince William and Princess Kate have recently arrived from their three-day trip to New York and Washington. The royal couple visited the 9/11 memorial and museum, met the United States President Barack Obama and spectated a basketball game. While his parents were in U.S., Prince George showed interest in playing on his iPad and spent time with his grandmother in Bucklebury, according to People.
The prince has joined the annual pre-holidays bash at Buckingham Palace. The royal family is supposed to spend their holidays at the Sandringham estate, where they'll be staying in their newly refurbished 10-bedroom country home, Anmer Hall. They will also visit Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham House for some of the main events of the season.
The almost 17-months-old prince is third in line to the British throne. In September this year, the royal palace announced the pregnancy of Princess Kate to her second child.
