Prince George: The cutest photos of Britain's future king

The prince turned five on Sunday (July 22) and Kensington Palace released a new portrait in celebration. In the photo, George shows off his megawatt smile, wearing the same outfit he donned for Prince Louis' christening – a white Amaia Kids shirt with blue piping and navy shorts, his blond hair styled in a sweet side part. The third-in-line to the throne looks up with his big brown eyes, likely at the photographer – or maybe his parents, Prince William and Duchess Kate, who could very well be making funny faces behind the camera to make him smile! <p>Photo: Photo: © Matt Porteous
