London (CNN) On the day before Prince George’s ninth birthday, his parents, William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a photo of him.
A statement from Kensington Palace on Thursday said that the photo was taken by the young prince’s mother while they were on vacation. It shows the young prince smiling.
Over the years, the Duchess of Cambridge has shown that she is an avid photographer by taking many pictures of her young family at important events.
Kate and William shared a photo of their youngest son Prince Louis laughing on a beach in Norfolk earlier this year. The photo was taken by Kate and was meant to celebrate Louis’s fourth birthday on April 23.
Prince George is third in line to the British throne, after his father, William, and grandfather, Charles.
