The shots were taken at Amner Hall in Norfolk, part of the Sandringham Estate, where Prince William’s newly-expanded family have been staying since Princess Charlotte’s birth last month.
They show Prince George, who is coming up to his second birthday, handing his new sister a protective cuddle and a kiss on the head.
The pose is similar to pictures released soon after Prince Harry’s birth which showed him being cradled by William.
Kensington Palace confirmed the pictures released this evening, the first official shots of the royal siblings together, had been taken by the Duchess herself. A sign of the times, the photos were released first on Twitter and Instagram and were immediately shared thousands of times by social media users. Within an hour, the pictures had earned 40,000 likes on Instagram and 30,000 Twitter favourites, although it was Prince George’s name which was trending on the site.
