The Family Portraits for Prince George’s Birthday

Today, Kensington Palace released the two further portraits that were taken to mark the first birthday of His Royal Highness, Prince George of Cambridge.

In the first of these two portraits we see the family looking at the exhibit, watching the butterflies and little George is reaching for one. Some have said it looks as if the family is looking to the future, and if so I’d say it’s looking bright.

And in the final portrait to be released we see the family seated, a butterfly perched on Prince William’s hand as George tries to touch it. (Oh I do hope he was gentle) I think this photo is just lovely…and did you notice the puddle of drool on Kate’s Dress…every mom has this happen, even royalty.

All three photographs were taken by PA staff photographer, John Stillwell, when Prince George visited the “Sensational Butterflies” exhibition at the Natural History Museum with The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge earlier this month. The Duchess of Cambridge is Patron of the Natural History Museum.

Just Confirmed by the Palace: Catherine to Visit Malta in September

The Duchess of Cambridge will visit Malta on 20th and 21st September this year at the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Malta’s independence, the Palace has announced.

In her first solo overseas tour, Kate will visit the island on behalf of The Queen who last visited in 2007.

Kate’s Malta visit was first reported in local press from the island a few weeks ago, though palace confirmation only came today.

During the two-day visit, Kate will undertake several engagements connected with the island as well as celebrations on the second day (21st) which is Malta’s independence day.

The palace say further details about the visit will be announced closer to the time.

A solo overseas tour is a big step for Catherine as she continues to craft her place in the Royal Family. A Petite Princess will have coverage of all the events
