Three adorable Christmas pictures of baby Prince George have been released by his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The pictures, which were taken in late November, show the prince in a courtyard at Kensington Palace.

The third-in-line to the throne is 17 months old now.

The pictures were taken by Ed Lane Fox, Prince Harry’s private secretary who has worked as a freelance photographer in the past. Prince George was wearing a top which is believed to be from Cath Kidston.

Prince William and his wife, Kate has released the images in a part as a thank you to the media who have not published any of the paparazzi pictures that have been taken of the prince.

The couple recently returned from a three-day tour on the east coast of the United States whereby they met with President Obama, visited the 9/11 memorial and watched a basketball game.

In September, they announced that they are expecting their second child.

The duchess confirmed that she may not be able to accompany her husband when he travels to Japan in early 2015, as she will be heavily pregnant.
