Prince George Displays Mischievous, Playful
Smile In Historic Royal Family Portrait.
Prince George is now officially joining official
royal photos and events.
After debuting on the traditional Sandringham
Christmas walk, he is seen standing next to
his grandfather, Prince Charles, great grandmother,
Queen Elizabeth II, and father, Prince William,
for a historic royal family portrait.
The snap features the three heirs to the throne,
Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince
George.
Here, the Cambridges' eldest son displays
a mischievous, playful smile.
At 6 years old, he is now allowed to wear
trousers at official royal photos and events,
per People.
Traditionally, royal boys are only allowed
to don shorts, even if it's the winter season.
Prince George's tartan pants are wrinkled
in the snap, proving despite being a royal,
he is just like any other child who still
loves to play.
The photo was released on Friday, Jan. 3,
to celebrate the start of the New Year.
It was taken before the annual Christmas luncheon
at Buckingham Palace on Dec. 18, 2019.
It was the same day when Queen Elizabeth and
Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince
George mixed and prepared the Christmas pudding,
and the kid did his best to keep away the
sticky mixture from his white Amaia shirt.
The historic snap was taken by Ranald Mackechnie,
who captured the same photo in 2016 when Queen
Elizabeth turned 90 years old.
At the time, Prince George was only 3 years
old, standing on a pile of books, wearing
the same playful smile.
The latest photograph occurred in the Throne
Room at the palace.
Meanwhile, before the photo came out, Prince
George made his Sandringham Christmas debut
when he joined the royal family for the traditional
Christmas Day walk and church service in public
with his sister, Princess Charlotte.
Their youngest sibling, Prince Louis, was
left at home as he was too young to join the
event.
The third in line to the throne also donned
trousers for that day, while Charlotte wore
a festive green coat, Express noted.
In addition, for the traditional Christmas
photo, Prince William and Kate Middleton released
a black-and-white snap following their leaked
festive snap online.
Here, the Duke of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte,
and Prince Louis were all bundled up in coats
and jumpers.
Prince George, on the other hand, donned a
pair of shorts and a fleece jacket.
The Duchess of Cambridge herself reportedly
captured the photograph at their place in
Norfolk, so she was not part of the picture.
