An Esoteric ‘Just Because I Thought It Interesting!’ “Prince George Of Cambridge & Family!” It is a tender, natural and intimate portrait which shows, for the first time, something of the personality of young Prince George. Meanwhile, his parents look naturally and happily into the camera’s lens. What matters more, however, is that they are letting the public gaze in. Never before has a Royal portrait beckoned to an audience with quite the same promise of effortless informality. This official portrait in a relaxed style perfectly reflecting the Duke and Duchess’s very modern approach to Royalty; depicts the eight-month-old as a curious, affectionate toddler, gazing into the eyes of the family’s beloved pet. George seems devoted to the cocker spaniel and, judging by the adoration on Lupo’s face, the sentiments are returned. In the shot, taken by award-winning photographer Jason Bell at a window of the Cambridges home, Apartment 1A of Kensington Palace, Kate looks radiant in the fresh sunshine of spring. William appears more mature, his boyish looks replaced by a new heft, reflecting perhaps both fatherhood and his growing stature in the Royal tableau and George looks devotedly at the cocker spaniel, Lupo. The washed-out tones seem designed to appeal simultaneously to two very different generations. There’s probably not a family in the land which does not have a similarly faded shot curling in the back of an old photograph album, a picture of Mum and Dad back at the start of married life. But the message of the image itself is that the Cambridges are one happy, confident family, keen to stay connected to the nation, while belonging more than anything to each other.
