Prince William and pregnant Duchess Kate released three official photos of the little prince, soon to be 17 months old, for Christmas.

 

They were taken in November and show him in a courtyard in Kensington Palace, where he lives with his parents in London.

 

The pictures show he's growing to look more like Will at about the same age. He's sitting on some steps and wearing a blue/gray embroidered² sweater vest over a white shirt with a Peter Pan collar, navy blue shorts and knee socks. His cheeks are still baby-fat full and as rosy³ as if he has on makeup⁴.

 

Official pictures of George are few and far between, to the great regret of royal fans who can't get enough of the chubby-cheeked toddler, the third-in-line to the throne.

 

The last time the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released official commissioned photos was for George's first birthday, in July, when he was snapped toddling⁵ on a path at the Natural History Museum in London. He visited a butterfly exhibit there and also was pictured with his parents playing with one of the colorful insects.
