The young family was photographed by Chris Jelf, who said, “I thoroughly enjoyed photographing a very lovely family, although you have to be sharp as you don’t have long when there are two young children involved! I hope everyone enjoys this photo and I am honoured that The Duke and Duchess have decided to share it with the public.”

There was another announcement from Westacre Montessori Nursery, a school north of London: “We are looking forward to welcoming George to our nursery where he will get the same special experience as all of our children.” Yes, little George is off to nursery school.

Happy holidays from the Royal Family!
