The pictures were taken at Kensington Palace in April; they accompany an interview with Prince William in the magazine’s July issue. All of the photos in the feature are by noted portrait photographer Norman Jean Roy.

The story is titled “William: A Prince In His Prime.” It is primarily focused on the Heads Together campaign that is working to minimize/eliminate the stigma associated with mental health issues. The Duke speaks about his family in the interview.
“I could not do my job without the stability of the family. Stability at home is so important to me. I want to bring up my children in a happy, stable, secure world and that is so important to both of us as parents.
“I want George to grow up in a real, living environment, I don’t want him growing up behind palace walls, he has to be out there. The media make it harder but I will fight for them to have a normal life.”

British journalist Alastair Campbell, familiar to many as Prime Minister Tony Blair’s communication’s manager, conducted the interview. You see him below with Prince William at Kensington Palace.

Now to what the children are wearing in the new photos. Princess Charlotte is in a dress with a small print and white Peter Pan collar, smocking at the bodice, and long sleeves. She is wearing a hair bow much like her Amaia Kids bows, but I should note that Pepa & Co. also offers bows similar to Charlotte’s. The wee Princess appears to have on tights that look like those offered by Amaia Kids that we have seen her wearing frequently. She has on a pair of Mary Jane style shoes, similar to the Papouelli Catalina or the Early Days Alice.

Prince George is in a long sleeve polo shirt that appears to have a standard cuff, not the ribbed cuff often seen on this top style. He is also wearing casual trousers or jeans that we are unlikely to ever identify, there’s just not enough visible in the photos to accomplish that.
But identifying the clothing is secondary to me, and I imagine you as well, it is a treat to see new photos of the children.
Or it could be a dress from Trotters http://www.trotters.co.uk/girls/dresses At the moment the dresses all have short sleeves but they had ones with small Liberty style prints, long sleeves and Peter Pan collars earlier in the year.
Lovely pictures, thanks for posting. I’m seriously impressed that you could work out George was in a polo shirt — here was me thinking he must be in shirt and jumper like his mum. I was interested to see Charlotte still appears in a smocked dress though it looks quite detailed and beautifully done.
On the other hand, George is having a break-out moment, being allowed to wear long trousers, praise be. That’ll be to make up for him having to wear knickerbockers to his auntie’s wedding 😉
Hello! I’ve been looking and I think Princess Charlotte wore a dress from this Spanish brand: http://www.lacoquetakids.com/girls-clothing/girls-dresses/monegros-girl-dress-lgy
That is a great suggestion. I have looked at their styles before and wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Charlotte wearing one of their styles. 🙂
