Prince George turns 3, palace releases new pics of birthday boy (Photos)

Time for cuteness overload! William and Kate Middleton’s son, Prince George, turns 3 today, July 22 and the palace has released some super adorable photos of the young royal to celebrate the day.

It seems like just yesterday the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were getting ready to leave St. Mary’s hospital in London after announcing the birth of their son and now he is a “threenager.”

Kensington Palace released new photos of the birthday boy via its Instagram page to celebrate his big day.

The four new photos were taken earlier this month at the family’s home.

A spokesman for Kensington Palace said, "The Duke and Duchess 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."

Happy Birthday Prince George!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share four new photographs of Prince George to mark his third birthday. They were taken by photographer Matt Porteous at their home in Norfolk in mid-July. A spokesman for Kensington Palace said: "The Duke and Duchess 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."
