Prince George Photos May be Taken by Kate Instead of Professionals
Prince William, Duchess Kate, and Prince George are apparently settling into their new life together, and the royal family may again choose to do things its own way by releasing personal photos of Prince George instead of making the public wait until his official portrait is done.
"The whole point of these photos is that as many people have access to them who need to and we will find the easiest way of doing that," a palace source told People.
The photos would be taken by new mom Kate, who undoubtedly has been taking photos since her son was born or by the proud grandparents, the Middletons, who the family has been staying with. It would certainly be a change for the royals, who traditionally keep a stiff upper-lip and only release professional photos to the public.

Of course, nothing about George's life will be traditional, given the energy of his parents and their untraditional upbringing. Kate was brought up as a commoner, while William's mother, the late Princess Diana, worked hard to give her sons as normal a life as possible, exposing them to as many things as possible beyond the palace walls.
Prince William has returned to work as a pilot for the Royal Air Force, but once his time is up, he will most likely return to the Royal Army's House Regiment, which will keep him out of harms way and closer to his family. He was the first royal to take paid paternity leave and spend that time with his family, and instead of returning to Kensington Palace, he and Kate chose to spend their first weeks as parents with Kate's parents.
The royal couple will likely move into their new home at Kensington Palace once renovations are done. They have reportedly asked one of William's former nannies to help take care of Prince George but will do a majority of the work and parenting themselves.
