As an early present to celebrate the time last year when we were glued to our TVs, deep in Royal Babywatch, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released a new portrait of Prince George. And he's frolicking.

 

The photo, taken at London's Natural History Museum's "Sensational Butterflies" exhibit earlier this month, shows George tottering around in Petit Bateau overalls, a navy polo shirt, and his go-to Early Days Alex pre-walker shoes. He also sports expertly—and adorably—combed hair for the occasion, which makes sense, of course, considering his mother is the queen of the perfect, photo-ready 'do.

 

With this first birthday portrait, George is following a royal trend of sorts: For official photos, wearing overalls seems to be a thing. And a very cute thing. Prince William and Prince Harry both have photos of themselves as toddlers walking in dungarees. We like to imagine that the hallway leading to the kitchen at Buckingham Palace is lined with pictures of royal babies in overalls. And we want to go to there.

As for the celebration in store for Prince George's big day, tomorrow? Us Weekly reports that in addition to the butterfly outing (which we would have given an arm and a leg and a lifetime supply of the world's best chocolate biscuits to witness), the royals will be throwing the little prince a mini birthday bash, with most of the family gathering for a tea party. As for gifts, "George will be getting clothes and wooden toys from mum and dad for his birthday," a source told the magazine. "William and Kate don’t want to go overboard. He has been given so many gifts over the months and there’s only so much space to store them!"

 

Does anyone have the number of a local wooden toy store? We'd love to send our favorite royal prince an understated birthday trinket!
