Kensington Palace said the photographs were taken with an inexpensive camera in early August while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were staying with internet millionaires Carole and Michael Middleton at their Berkshire mansion, reports Daily Mai.l

Both photos show the couple posing with George, who is swaddled in the same shawl that he left hospital in.

In excerpts of an interview with CNN’s Max Foster released Monday, Prince William passionately spoke about his little “rascal” Prince George. The interview, “Prince William’s Passion: New Father, New Hope” will air on CNN September 15.
