Prince George is celebrating his seventh birthday.

Two new photographs, taken by his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, have been released to mark the special occasion.

Catherine and Prince William, George's father, say they are "delighted" to share the photos, which were taken earlier this month.

In one of the pictures, George is dressed in a camouflage T-shirt while playing outdoors.

The second photo shows George giving a huge smile to the camera.

Prince George Alexander Louis - known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge - was born on 22 July 2013 in London.

He appeared in front of the world's media just one day later,

The prince is the great-grandchild of the Queen and pictures have been released by Kensington Palace on each of his birthdays.

Last year's birthday shot showed the young Prince, laughing in the garden wearing an England football shirt.

This picture was also taken by his mother, who is a keen amateur photographer.

Last month Prince William also celebrated his birthday and a special family photo was released, also taken by Catherine.

The pictures were taken at the Cambridge's family home in Norfolk and showed Prince William playing with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, aged five, and Prince Louis, two.
