With Christmas around the corner, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton have offered season's greetings with cute pictures of their son, Prince George.

The photographs offer a glimpse of three new poses of the 16-month-old royal baby seated on some stone steps in a courtyard at Kensington Palace here, reports people.com.

The images were taken in late November by Ed Lane Fox, Prince Harry's private secretary.

The toddler is wearing a navy vest decorated with soldiers over a white, long-sleeve top, and shorts with knee-high socks and navy leather Start-Rite buckle shoes.
