Prince George shows off cheeky smile in new 9th birthday photo taken by Duchess of Cambridge

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released a new photo of their son Prince George to mark his ninth birthday.

The young royal , who is currently third in line to the throne, was all smiles in the photo taken by his mum Kate. Sporting a blue polo shirt and a toothy grin, George looked the spitting image of Prince William in the snap.

The picture was posted to the Duke and Duchess’ social media accounts, continuing Kate Middleton’s habit of sharing her own photographs to mark the birthdays of her three children, The Mirror reports . The sweet tradition began with George’s first birthday, where the youngster was pictured toddling around the Natural History Museum in dungarees.
