Is there better news for a Monday morning than two new photos of Kate Middleton? How about: two new photos of Kate, one of which is an official family portrait, complete with smiling Prince George, happy Lupo and doting dad, Prince William. Best Monday ever!

The official Cambridge family portrait was taken by Jason Bell, who also took the (super adorable) Prince George christening photos. Kate, Will, Prince George and Lupo are sitting in a window at apartment A1 in Kensington Palace, otherwise known as their new royal home and the family looks perfectly at ease. “Why yes, our baby does have the cutest, pudgiest cheeks! Oh, the personalized “George” sweater he’s wearing? That was just a small gift from Grandpa Charles.”

Hello, Baby George! The first official pictures of the future King of England were released last night and the reviews are, well, mixed. In breaking with royal protocol, the pictures were taken by Kate Middleton’s father and not a professional. (Before the rumours of an amateur photog started swirling last week, Mario Testino was a favourite to take the pics, as he was behind the couple’s official engagement pictures.) This decision is a clear sign that Will and Kate are going their own way when it comes to raising George—they did, after all, spend his first few weeks at the Middleton family home in Bucklebury and not at Kensington Palace as is typical royal tradition.

We support Will and Kate’s do-it-yourself (ish) intentions, even if it means that the first official pictures of Prince George are slightly fuzzy and not properly lit. The two official photos show the couple outside—presumably somewhere on the Middleton’s sprawling property—with Kate holding George in the same swaddling blanket he wore outside St. Mary’s hospital. Also important: Take a look at Lupo! Now that’s a happy royal dog.

This weekend Kate cheered on William and Harry at a charity polo match while keeping things casual in a silk shirtdress by UK-based label Libélula. The long sleeve, knee-length look is quickly becoming her signature style, and it seems like Kate’s other must-wear item—sheer tights—are on the way out. Perhaps her choice of shoe inspired the need for bare legs? Kate wore a pair of open-toed Stuart Weitzman wedge espadrilles, which allowed her to walk across the grassy polo fields with ease—and right up to the podium where she gave both princes a kiss after their team won. (Not pictured: many other kisses from Kate and Will’s royal pup Lupo, who also adorably attended the event.)
