Prince George In The Official Royal Wedding Portrait Will Make Your Day

This is a first - by Anna McClelland
  • 22 May 2018

Prince George is a four-year-old with complex emotions - there are more photos of him scowling than smiling, he hates the paparazzi (especially if Gary Janetti is to be believed) and generally conducts himself in public with the manner of a toddler who expects to be treated like a king (which, one day, he will be). 

He was in fine form at the weekend's royal wedding - while Princess Charlotte smiled and waved and was generally delightful, Prince George looked bored, annoyed and by the end of the ceremony, completely over it:

Which is why we're so surprised to see him smiling - wait, make that positively beaming - in the official royal wedding portraits that Kensington Palace released today.

We've never seen him looking so happy:

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released three official photographs from their Wedding day. This photo of The Duke and Duchess with the Bridesmaids and Page Boys was taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski in The Green Drawing Room of Windsor Castle #RoyalWedding

Which begs the question: what is he plotting?
