With his gap-toothed grin and cheeky expression, it is clear that Prince George is growing up fast.
Two pictures of the future king have been released by Kensington Palace to mark his seventh birthday tomorrow.
Gone are his chubby cheeks and the frilled Peter Pan-collar shirts that his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, so loved to dress him in as a toddler and beyond.
Instead we see a little boy, tousled blond hair swept aside and grinning, wearing a camouflage green T-shirt.
An appropriate choice given he will one day inherit his great-grandmother’s mantle as Head of the Armed Forces. George is already said to be obsessed with helicopters like his father.

She and her husband, Prince William, have been doing their best to home school the three youngsters, although they admit its been tough at times.

George, apparently has been very jealous of Charlotte’s homework from their school, Thomas’s Battersea, which is much more fun and less challenging than his.
‘George gets very upset because he wants to do Charlotte’s projects,’ Kate recently disclosed. ‘Because making things like spider sandwiches is far cooler than doing literacy work!’
Kate and William have done their best to shelter George from the future that awaits him, gently introducing him to the idea that his might be slightly more mapped out than his classmates.
