Prince William, Duchess Kate release new family photo

 

Prince George and Princess Charlotte pose with their parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, in a sweet new holiday photo.

"We are looking forward to welcoming George to our nursery where he will get the same special experience as all of our children," the school said in a statement.

The announcement came Monday as the prince's parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, shared a new family photo that they are using for their holiday greeting card.

 

Prince George will go to nursery school next month just like his dad, Prince William, did 30 years ago. Here William is on his first day of school on Sept. 24, 1985.

The portrait features George and his 7-month-old sister, Princess Charlotte, with their parents on the grounds of Kensington Palace in late October.

"I thoroughly enjoyed photographing a very lovely family, although you have to be sharp as you don't have long when there are two young children involved!" photographer Chris Jelf said in a statement.

The palace said the royal couple are "hugely appreciative" of the warm wishes they have received from the public and "are very much looking forward to their first Christmas as a family of four."
