His proud parents then thanked “everyone for your lovely messages”.
Naturally, the cute as a button photo has sent Twitter into a meltdown as fans lose it over George’s cheeky grin.
He looks more like William as he grows. He's going to be a true Prince Charming.

George is the eldest son of Prince William and wife Kate Middleton, followed by Charlotte three, and three-month-old Louis.
The prince, who is known to be shyer than his younger sister, is sporting one of his biggest smiles yet in the photo, which was taken by photographer Matt Porteous in the garden of Clarence House after the christening of Louis, on July 9.
William and Kate have released one or more photos of George every year since his birth – and Mr Porteous has taken a number of these, too.
George Alexander Louis of Cambridge is one of the Queen’s great-grandchildren and is third in line to the throne behind his father, Prince William, and grandfather, Prince Charles.
Happy birthday George!
