Prince GeorgeThe four-year-old British royal showed off a big grin and his new school uniform ahead of his first day at Thomas Battersea school on September 7, 2017. The young Prince was the picture of cuteness as he stood on the steps of his Kensington Palace home. The palace released the photo, writing on Twitter: "The Duke and Duchess are very pleased to share a photograph of The Duke and Prince George at Kensington Palace this morning. The image was taken shortly before Prince George left for his first day of school at Thomas's Battersea. TRH would like to thank everyone for all of the kind messages they have received as Prince George starts school." Unfortunately, his mom Kate Middleton was unable to attend her son's milestone day as she continues to suffer from acute morning sickness during her third pregnancy.Photo: PA
