Prince George's third birthday marked with release of photos
Four official photographs marking Prince
George's third birthday have been released by the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge.
The images show
the prince at the family's Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, and were taken in mid-July
by photographer Matt Porteous.
One image shows
the prince playing with the family dog Lupo.
Prince George
Alexander Louis - known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge - was
born on 22 July 2013.
A Kensington
Palace spokesman said: "The Duke and Duchess hope that people will enjoy
seeing these new photographs.
"They would
like to thank everyone for all the lovely messages they have received as Prince
George celebrates his third birthday."
However, the
RSPCA has criticised the picture of Prince George holding an ice cream close to
the mouth of the family dog.
'Difficult to digest'
"It is
lovely that Prince George is trying to help keep his family dog, Lupo, cool in
these high temperatures," a spokesman said.
"We would
advise people to be cautious when giving their dogs food meant for human
consumption as some items, like chocolate, can be highly toxic to dogs and
dairy items can be difficult for them to digest.
"Instead of
ice cream we would suggest making an ice lolly from pet-friendly ingredients.
Making these can be really fun for children and the end product is both safe
and enjoyable for dogs."
Paula Boyden,
veterinary director at the Dogs Trust charity, agreed.
She said she
"would always advocate seeking methods to keep your dog cool, but possibly
not in the form of an ice cream, unless it is a dog-friendly version".
"The cow's
milk and sugar content in ice cream can sometimes lead to digestive issues.
Whenever you do treat your dog, do consider the ingredients and always seeks
the advice of your vet," she added.
