Britain's royal family released the first official photos of Prince George on Sunday. The photos are a little different because a royal photographer didn't take them. The photos came from the private family album of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate). George's grandfather Michael Middleton took the photos. One photo shows one-month-old George with his happy parents. They are all standing under a tree. Another snap includes the family dog. Portraits of royal babies have always been taken in royal palaces by professional photographers. The photographer makes a special studio and background. Prince George's photos break this tradition.
Prince George is third in line to the British throne. This means he will be king after his grandfather (Prince Charles) and his father die. Prince William said he is enjoying every minute of being a father, but is looking forward to when his son sleeps all night. He even joked that he wanted to go back to work so he could get some sleep. William told reporters he is a hands-on father. He changed George's very first nappy (diaper) but said his wife did most of the work in the middle of the night. William said his son reminded him of himself when he was a baby. He said of his son: "He wriggles around quite a lot, and he doesn't want to go to sleep that much, which is a little bit of a problem."
中文翻译
周日，英国皇室公布了乔治王子的官方照片。由于不是出于皇家摄影师之手，所以照片看起来有所不同。照片出自剑桥公爵和公爵夫人（威廉和凯特）的私人相册。照片是乔治的姥爷迈克尔·米德尔顿帮忙拍摄的。其中一张照片是一个月的小乔治和他的父母。全家站在树下。另一张还包括了一只小狗。皇室婴儿的照片一直都是要由专业摄影师在皇宫拍摄的。摄影师要建造特殊的工作间和背景。而乔治王子打破了常规。
乔治王子是英国皇位的第三顺位继承人。这就意味着他将会是即爷爷（查尔斯王子）以及父亲之后的第三皇位继承人。威廉王子称他享受着当父亲的每一刻，但是他盼望着儿子晚上能够睡得安稳些。他甚至开玩笑地说，他真想回去工作，这样就能够睡个安稳觉了。威廉对记者说，他是一个以身作则的父亲。他为乔治换第一块尿布，但是绝大多数工作都是妻子在午夜完成的。威廉称儿子让他想起了他小时候。当说到他的儿子时：“他总是动来动去，不怎么睡觉，这确实是个问题。”
