"This photograph is the first of four official photographs being released today, taken by The Duchess of Cambridge in mid-May," it says.
This is the first photo of the children since the royal couple debuted their little girl outside a St. Mary's Hospital in London on May 2, the day she was born. George, who is almost 2, was last photographed that day at the medical center with his father when they went to visit Kate and newborn Charlotte.
