On the occassion of the christening of his little sister Princess Charlotte two weeks ago, a two-year-old Prince George very nearly stole the show.

Looking as cute-as-a-button in a red and white smock designed by Rachel Riley (the €100 piece inevitably sold out within 24 hours) he waved to the crowds, chatted to his great-granny, peered lovingly into Charlotte's pram, and generally proved that he's going to be a serious heart-breaker in another couple of decades. 

Understandably, the accompanying snaps of the day which were released by the British royals after the event, prompted oodles of ooos and aaas from around the globe. 

Taken by the famed Mario Testino, they showed Kate, 33, and Wills, also 33, with their prince and princess in a variety of casual and natural poses.

But if we assumed that we'd been given our fill of gorgeous shots of the picture-perfect Cambridges – how wrong we were!

For Mr Testino himself took to Facebook this afternoon to add to the collection.

The image shows a proud-as-punch Prince William holding on tight to his son as George leans in towards the lens, peering at the camera with his big, brown eyes. 

His lovely mop of blond tresses are swept away from his face, and he shows off a mouthful of white teeth too.

The toddler turns two tomorrow – with a party being thrown for him at his family's rural abode, Amner Hall. 

Peru-native Mario even wished the little royal a happy birthday in the accompanying caption. "The Duke Of Cambridge with his son Prince George, who turns two years old tomorrow," he wrote in both English and his native Spanish.

This photograph captures a very happy moment on what was a special day for The Duke and Duchess and their family. They are very pleased to share this picture as they celebrate Prince George's second birthday.

Kensington Palace said today in a statement: "The photograph shows The Duke of Cambridge holding Prince George in the gardens at Sandringham House.

"It was part of the series of official photographs taken by Mario Testino following Princess Charlotte's baptism on Sunday July 5."

Happy birthday, little prince! Here's to many more amazing photographs.

In an interview to mark his first day as an air ambulance pilot, Prince William has been talking family-life – and even hinted that he and Duchess Kate, 33, are already considering royal baby number three. 

Gushing that two-and-a-half month old Princess Charlotte has "been fantastic," and "a little joy of heaven," the Duke went on to say that having two children under two certainly has its challenges. 

"It is more responsibility looking after two little ones," the 33-year-old admitted. "Especially when George around. He's a little monkey!"

However, the second-in-line to the British throne also seems to be pretty content with his lot in life. 

"It's fantastic having such a little family; I'm so thrilled. Catherine is doing an amazing job as a mother; I'm very proud of her."

And when asked if it's difficult to leave them every morning when he goes to work, he diplomatically replied: "No more difficult than everyone else has to do."

Of course, with a girl and a boy on board, it would be understandably if the world's most famous royals decided to draw a line under their baby-making days.

Indeed, the interviewer suggested that in light on Charlotte's arrival in May, the decision to have a third child might now prove more difficult.

"We've only just had the second one!" Prince William said in response, before adding with a smile, "but you never know what's going to happen in the future."

Well, we reckon that Wills and Kate will absolutely be having more gorgeous babies over the next few years. And no, we can't wait!

He may not even be two years old yet, but Prince George has already made a name for himself as the most entertaining Royal.

Granted, he doesn't have much competition for the moment considering Charlotte can't do much but gurgle and cry, but even so we're not sure if she'll ever be able to beat his incredible facial expressions and adorably chubby cheeks.

Prince George might become the King of England one day, but for now he's happy to chill out and generally be great craic. Here are just a few times he just won at life…

1. When he checked in on Charlotte like a big brother should
He may have stolen the show at her Christening, but he made sure to let her in on the action too.

2. That time he knew exactly where to turn to get the best camera angle
*jazz hands*

3. When Dad tried to hurry him along but he was too busy perfecting his gangsta swagger
Work it, G.

4. Getting his game face on to deal with the paps
"Come at me, braw."

5. That time he was having none of this "being a good boy" stuff
"PUT ME DOWN, WOMAN."

6. And when he really began to question the meaning of life during his visit to New Zealand
It's tough being a baby.

7. When looking adorable all day just got to be a bit too much
Meh.

8. That one time Kate tried to take a photo of him and Charlotte and he threw her some serious shade
"If you're not Mario Testino, you can put that camera away."

9. When Mum and Dad wanted a demure family portrait and George was all "LET'S PARTAAAAAAY"
Reckless youth.

10. And finally, when he took a break from being cool to enjoy a dance with his Mum
If this doesn't hit you right in the ovaries we don't know what will.

The day has finally arrived!

Princess Charlotte’s christening has begun. She made her first public appearance since appearing outside the hospital the day she was born.

The ceremony took place at the same church where Princess Diana was christened in 1961. The ceremony was small with Kate and William, Prince George, the Queen, Kate’s parents, her sister Pippa, brother brother James and William’s parents Charles and Camilla.

The five godparents of Princess Charlotte were also in attendance. Named earlier today her godparents did not include either of William or Kate’s siblings.

Instead they were made up of friends of William and Kate, along with family members such as Princess Diana’s niece Laura Fellowes.

Kate’s long-time friend Sophie Carter was chosen, as were James Meade a school friend of William, Adam Middleton, Kate’s cousin and Thomas van Straubenzee who William also went to school with.

Thomas, pictured above, married Lady Melissa Percy in 2013 at Alnwick Castle, better known to Harry Potter buffs as the Hogwarts castle, FYI. William attended the wedding but Kate could not as she pregnant with Prince George who is now almost 2-years old.

 

Princess Charlotte wore her brother’s replica of a more than 170-year old royal heirloom made by Angela Kelly, who is dressmaker to the Queen.

The family of four made their way to the church in quite a stylish fashion, Kate wore a white Alexander McQueen  while she pushed Charlotte’s pram past the people lined up outside to greet the royals.

Prince William looked very dapper in his suit while Prince George had an adorable red and white themed look for the day. Prince George’s outfit is reminding twitter users of his dad’s outfit the first time he met Prince Harry.

Prince Harry who is currently in Nambia, missed out on the family occasion. While his stepmother Camilla almost suffered a serious wardrobe malfunction when a gust of wind caught her off guard in her pale blue style.

The Middleton’s co-ordinated their looks with ivory outfits in line with Kate’s own outfit.

After the christening the Queen hosted tea at her Sandringham home, where guests will also have cake from William and Kate’s 2011 wedding.

Prince Harry is apparently out of the running to be one of Princess Charlotte’s six godparents. Note, Charlotte has one less godparent than her older brother Prince George.

While there was some speculation Prince Harry’s absence was some sort of royal snub, it seems to be more as a result of his being out of the country.

The 30-year old royal will be spending the summer travelling and doing charity and conservation work. He is reportedly going to be in Africa when the christening will take place.

The ceremony will take place later today at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham.

The baptism will be held in private with fewer than 30 people present at the event. It will be the first time the family of four will make a public appearance together.

Harry unfortunately will not be present as he’s already left for his trip to Africa. Sad news for any of the members of the public waiting outside the church hoping to catch a glimpse of the young royal.

Official photographs of the occasion will be taken by photographer Mario Testino who was Princess Diana’s favourite photographer. Charlotte will wear a replica of the lace and satin christening gown made for the princess royal, Victoria, in 1841.

The godparents will be revealed at the ceremony so we’ll have to wait and find out, although there have been rumours that since Prince Harry is no longer in the running, David Beckham might be a possibility.

Can’t imagine that minion tattoo would go down so well at afternoon tea in the palace though, but you never know.

Speculation is mounting about who will step into the role, with bookies also actually giving odds who might be the favourite.

Princess Beatrice, 26, was also in the running and according to book makers she had got more of a chance than her sister Euginie, 25, as she often socialises with Will and Kate.

We were very intrigued to discover that neither of the Princess's were named as Charlotte's godparents after all. 

Instead it was friends and family of the couple themselves who will take the honours later today; Miss Sophie Carter, Mr. James Meade, Mr. Adam Middleton, The Hon. Laura Fellowes and Mr. Thomas van Straubenzee were all named as Princess Charlotte's godparents.

Following the birth of their second child, they've been very much hiding out in their country abode, Amner Hall.

However, it seems that our favourite royal pairing, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are about to make an unofficial appearance this week – namely at Wimbledon.

Wills and Kate have visited the All England Tennis club on many occasions over the past number of years, sitting in the Royal Box (natch) on Centre Court.

In fact, aside from the tennis itself, Kate’s court-side fashion is pretty much the most important thing going on at Wimbledon this fortnight.

The British queen-in-waiting, who gave birth to Princess Charlotte on May 2, was in attendance when Scotland's Andy Murray won an Olympic gold medal on Wimbledon turf in 2012. And she visited several times last year – when defending champion Mr Murray lost in the quarter finals.

So with the Grand Slam tournament beginning this week, we've decided to look back at some of Kate’s most stylish Wimbledon moments:

 

In this white lace wonder by Australian designer, Zimmerman, Catherine really stood out from the crowd at last year's competition

 

Also last year, we love this pop of colour from designer Jonathan Saunders and would like to see something similar for the '15 tournament

 

Kate looks effortlessly elegant in this Alexander McQueen dress while cheering on Andy Murray in 2012

 

This white Alice Temperley dress sold out within minutes of Duchess Catherine walking onto Centre Court in 2011

 

PS… We also need the Cambridges to go along because their matching facials expressions are seriously adorable!

 

OK, so did they rehearse these?

Today is a seriously exciting day for our favourite royal dad, Prince William.

Not only is he celebrating his second Father’s Day with his son Prince George, he is also celebrating his first Father’s Day with his new born daughter, Princess Charlotte.

And that’s not all, it is also the Duke of Cambridge’s 33rd birthday. If that’s not an excuse to celebrate we don’t know what is!

We have no doubt that this year the royal family celebrations will be a little more hushed than last year’s.

It was this time last year that we got to see the adorable photos of Prince George cheering on his dad in a polo match.

This was also the first time that we got to see the adorable baby Prince taking his first public steps, holding tentatively on to his mum’s hand all the way. So cute!

While chances of seeing the six week old Princess waddling around are seriously slim, we can at least hope that the family share some celebratory birthday/Father’s Day pics.

After seeing the outrageously adorable photos of two-year-old George at last week’s Trooping the Color ceremony, we are just dying for more!

She (not to mention the adorable Prince George) wowed yesterday at Queen Elizabeth's birthday celebrations in London.

Yes, there was no denying that the Duchess Of Cambridge, who gave birth to Princess Charlotte on May 2, looked absolutely incredible donning a blue and white floral pattern dress by Catherine Walker.

But earlier today, and decidedly more dressed-down, the 33-year-old really turned heads.

Wearing a striped navy long-sleeved top, navy skinny jeans, and nautical-inspired flats, the Duchess and her husband Prince William attended a charity polo event in Gloucestershire.

​And certainly, a mere six weeks after giving birth, she has regained her pre-pregnancy already.

Kate was kept busy running after an active George, who turns two next month.

The toddler looked stylish, complementing his mother's attire in navy, knee-length shorts, a white collared t-shirt, and a blue buttoned cardigan.

Making it a real family affair, also in attendance at the Beaufort Polo Club soiree was Prince William's cousins Peter and Zara Phillips, who turned up with their respective spouses Autumn Phillips and Mike Tindall, as well as Princes Charles and Harry.

In fact, William, 32, and Harry, 30, even got in on the action, taking to their steeds to take part in a couple of the polo matches – much to the delight of the crowds.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Kate and Wills have now hired a new housekeeper for their rural abode, Amner Hall.

US Weeky confirms that 33-year-old Sadie Rice, who previously worked for Crown Prince Haakon and his wife Mette-Marit in Oslo, has already taken up her position.

Her duties will include running the house, cleaning silver and glassware, being in charge of household supplies, preparing and cooking meals, taking care of the royal couple's wardrobes, and caring for the family's dog Lupo.

We just can’t get enough of this little guy!

Prince George has done it again. As well as grabbing everyone’s attention after the birth of his baby sister just six weeks ago, he has now stolen the spotlight at The Queen’s birthday celebrations.

All eyes were set to be on Kate Middleton, who was making her first public appearance since giving birth in May. But her two-year-old son is the one who has caught the public’s admiration, yet again.

The young Prince was carried by his father, Prince William, out onto the Buckingham Palace balcony, as part of the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony.

The adorable heir pointed excitedly down at the crowd, while Kate gave him a smile from behind William’s shoulder, instigating the toddler to try out his royal wave.

The ever so charming 22-month-old played with his dad’s uniform throughout the appearance, totally wooing the crowd. And we all melted when he reached for William’s nose and landed his little finger in his dad’s mouth.

Meanwhile, Kate looked as radiant as ever in a blue Catherine Walker coat dress and a hat by Lock & Co.

It doesn’t exactly come as a shock that the 33-year-old Duchess of Cambridge looked so well only 6 weeks after the birth of her daughter. It was only 10 hours after the Princess was born that Kate wowed the world by looking like she had just come back from a retreat!

Now all we can do is sit tight and hope that Princess Charlotte gets to make her next public appearance sometime soon as well.

The first official image of the royal cutie Princess Charlotte and her gorgeous big brother, Prince George, has now been released by Kensington Palace.

And suffice to say that we're transfixed by the duo.

The baby girl, who emerged into the world on May 2, can be seen nestled contently in her brother's arms.

Significantly, we can also see her blue eyes for the first time. Her hair is sandy brown.

The shot was taken in mid-May when Charlotte was still just two weeks old by the children's mother, the Duchess Of Cambridge. The family was at home in Anmer Hall at the time.

Both are largely clad in pure white, though George has a smart blue trim on his shirt. He also sports blue shorts and matching blue knee-socks.

The newest little Cambridge is seen in snug knitwear – reflective, no doubt, of the unseasonable chill of last month.

The Duchess is known to be a keen amateur photographer – and her father, Michael, also took the first official shot of George during the summer of 2013 at the Middleton holding in Bucklebury.

It emerged earlier this week that Charlotte will be christened on Sunday, July 5, by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The event will take place at the small St Mary Magdalene church on her great-grandmother the Queen’s Sandringham estate. The church is also within walking distance of William and Kate’s country abode.

George himself, being directly in-line to the British throne, had a somewhat more elaborate baptism.

Taking place on October 23, 2013 at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in London, the Archbishop Of Canterbury also resided over proceedings.

Just 22 guests were in attendance, made up of four members of the Middleton family, the child’s seven godparents and their spouses, and senior royals.

Princess Charlotte will also wear the same gown that her brother wore before her.

Modelled on a version donned by generations of British royals since the Victoria era, the current robe was actually designed by Angela Kelly in 2004.

The Queen had asked her senior dresser to create it as she deemed the original to be too fragile for further use.

For George’s big day, Kate wore a stunning Alexander McQueen jacket and matching knee-length skirt in a gold-tinged cream hue. 

She completed her look with a co-ordinating pillbox hat by Jane Taylor millinery, and Russell & Bromley nude court shoes in patent leather.

Prince George turns two on July 22 – and it is rumoured that his parents are already planning a garden fete-style bash at Anmer Hall to mark the occasion.

More than a few days passed her due date, the Duchess of Cambridge finally went into labour this morning, entering Lindo Wing at 6am today.

Now, after the world spent the day glued to computers and TVs, we can announce that Kate has given birth to her second child – a healthy baby daughter!

Weighing in at eight pounds and three ounces, the newborn's name is yet to be announced.

The baby was born at 8.34am this morning, and betting odds are favouring Alice for the name.

With the arrival of the new Royal, Harry is now fifth in line to the throne; although we doubt he’s thinking about that right now as he celebrates becoming an uncle for the second time.

Like everyone, we’re obviously dying to get our first glimpse of the little Royal, but for now we wish William and Kate all the luck in the world and hope they really cherish this special time.

Congratulations!

Vanity Fair has denied photoshopping their cover of the royal family to cover up Prince William's bald spot. 

Many people had speculated that the cover appeared to show Prince William with a much more well-endowed crown (sorry) to the original image. 

The magazine addressed the speculation by saying: "We did not Photoshop the cover to make Prince William appear to have more hair. We gave the image a poster-like palette. We added some shadow to Prince William to make the white type more legible, and to place more emphasis on Prince George.”

Although it does look like Prince William got a little help in the hair department (and what harm!) the cover looks great, and the family look cute and happy!
