LONDON — Prince George turned 3 on Friday, and he's cuter than ever, according to new photos released by Kensington Palace. 

It's not every day that the nation's future king turns 3, and Kensington Palace has marked the occasion by posting brand new photos of George. And, they are ~everything~. 

There's Prince George playing on a swing at the Duke and Duchess' family home in Norfolk. And, yes that is a personalised swing you see there.
